Teaser Tuesday August 9 - Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser comes from Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer, page 153 on my arc copy. This is one of those books that grabs you from the very first line.


Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer

(page 153)
I wouldn't even have remembered her name, if she hadn't later accused me of killing her husband.
It all began when my father insisted I accompany the workers on their annual outing to Weston-super-Mare. "Good for their morale to see the chairman's son taking an interest," he said.

"See this grain of sand? This one, here. Now look at the ocean. Think of the size of the ocean compared to the size of this grain of sand. This is what we are in the universe. Think of it. How enormous the universe is. How tiny we are."

page 5, Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer (this is more than two sentences but I really loved this passage)

Teaser Tuesday and Awards



Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B at Should be Reading and asks you to :

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3 . Share 2 "teaser"sentences also citing the title of the book and the author and in that way people can have great recommendations if they like the "teaser.
4. Please avoid spoilers!


This weeks teaser is from The Wives of Henry Oades by Johanna Moran, page 194.

"Henry stood too, his confounded gaze fixed high above the heads of both wives. His son was nearly a man. His baby was a little girl he shouldn't know, but somehow did."

Next up are two awards I received.




I received The Prolific Blogger Award from Laura at Library Of Clean Reads. Thank you Laura for thinking of me! I have received this one before so I am just posting my link to that post here.



Next up is the I'm Going Places Award which I received from Joyful Journey.

This award means `Your really going places baby`.

The rules are:
- link back to the blogger who sent me this award
- post where I would like to be in 10 years
- pass it on to 10 awesome bloggers

In ten years I hope to have all the books in my TBR stash read, lol! Boy, the family would love that one! They are taking over the house!

As far as passing these awards on I am passing them on to you! If you are reading this post, these awards are for you! I hate the thought of anyone feeling left out! Feel free to post them on your blog and pass them on. Thank you so much to Laura and Joyful! Be sure to visit their blogs too as they are both great!

My Teaser;

"We were off, but I couldn't keep myself from looking back out the window as the carriage pulled away. Sukey was frantic, and Papa was having a hard time holding her as she kicked and hit, trying to break free.
Inside the carriage, Miss Martha's screams spoke for me."

"The Kitchen House" by Kathleen Grissom, pg. 171

My teaser

"She drank three cups of water and splashed water on her neck, amazed at how normal this simple action made her feel. The pain in her wrist was still there, but like a nagging old relative to whose complaints she had grown accustomed."

One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni(page 40)
