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!
This week's teaser comes from Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Is it a new one? Absolutely not. But I'm re-reading it on my Kindle and I love it. So I had to.
Mrs. Bennet deigned not to make any reply, but, unable to contain herself, began scolding one of her daughters.
"Don't keep coughing so, Kitty, for Heaven's sake! Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces."
"Kitty has no discretion in her coughs," said her father; "she times them ill."
I love Mr. Bennet. I think, aside from Mr. Darcy and Lizzie, he is my favorite.
Can't wait to see ya'lls teasers!
A classic that's still a terrific read. Thanks for posting a teaser from one of my favorite books.
