Teaser Tuesday - Sep 24



Teaser Tuesday

The rules are:
  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) 'teaser' sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title and author of the book that you’re getting your 'teaser' from .. that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!
Honor was hoping to surprise the Haymakers with blackberry junket, a sieving of the berries to turn them into a thick paste that concentrated the nutty flavour. She began to suspect, however, that these berries would be better for jelly or cordial.
Another teaser from our book group book of the month - Tracy Chevalier's The Last Runaway - Honor still adjusting to the American way.

I feel when I am in it as if the air around me has shifted and it
is not the same air I breathed and moved in back in England, but
is some other substance. Can a building do such a thing?
From Tracy Chevalier's The Last Runaway our BATS (book group) book for the month, an American immigrant from a Quaker community view of the USA of the 1850's. I'm looking forward to this one!
