Chapter 25: Teaser Tuesday 17.11.2009

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

The rules are:

• Grab your current read.
• Open to a random page.
• Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
• Be careful not to include spoilers!
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participiants can add the book to their to be read lists if they like your teasers!

At the moment I'm half way through The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig. I read about this book in somebody's blog some time ago and it seemed like a fun read. And that is exactly what it is! It is a funny historical adventure set in Napoleonic times with a good amount of romance and witty conversation to keep one entertained during these dark autumn evenings. Who would not like to read about dashing, masked heroes trying to save their country!










Here's a little appetizer from page 83:

" Under cover of darkness, he shifted his weight to face Amy and asked softly, 'What brings you to France?'
Amy snapped her head up, instantly on the defensive. Richard put out a hand as though in his own defence. 'Retract your claws! I'm scarred enough from this afternoon. Can we cry a truce, at least for the night?'
Amy eyed him askance.
'Consider it our own personal Peace of Amiens. I'll be France and you can be England.'
