Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:
--Grab your current read
--Let the book 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 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!
“This is the kind of thing that makes the English cringe, of course, and we were only just recovering when he added that we were all going to eat some genuine, American brownies, to mark the “debut,” ugh, of a “genuine, American girl.” Quite apart from the toe-curling sentimentality of all this, to most of us in those days “brownies” meant young Girl Guides, just as “Cubs” meant young Boy Scouts, so there was a certain amount of hilarity released by the announcement that we were going to east some, but we listened on as Jeff praised his daughter, Terry, who then seized the microphone for herself, paying tearful tribute to her wonderful; “Pop and Mom,” which made us freeze even more solidly in our chairs.”
