Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. 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
I’m cheating a little today, and using two single sentences from different pages. Because I really liked them both.
1. I thought about my personal view of heaven, which is small and calm and features only one angel, who cannot sing. – pg. 11
2. Ma Lubitsch, watching from a small distance, recognises by the instinctual knowledges of an expat Polish mother that her family has grown by one, and is not perturbed. – pg. 30
Here is the GoodReads page for more info.
I have to admit, this is not really the type of book I would usually read, and it’s going to be quite a slow read. But if it has more beautiful lines like that, I can cope with that.
Join in over at A Daily Rhythm for more Teaser Tuesdays! I’ll see you tomorrow for WWW and WIPpet Wednesday
That’s quite a strange view of heaven. Think you’ll be able to plow through this one? I just got done with a British murder mystery that I plowed through.

I hope so! I’ve borrowed it from a colleague who really liked it but doesn’t know anyone else who has read it. So I sort of want to finish it even if I don’t like it so we can at least discuss it.

It is very beautiful. Sometimes slow reads are quite nice 🙂

This is true! I’m still feeling a bit book-hungover from a YA read I finished in two days last week… maybe I should pay this one a bit more attention to help get over that.
Thanks for visiting!

Interesting. Is it fantasy YA or something different? Here’s mine: http://earthianhivemind.net/2015/09/22/teaser-tuesday-september-22/

It’s adult sci-fi, I think (I’m still not far into it so I haven’t pinned it down yet). It’s a bit dystopian.
