My teaser this week:

The sleepy town she'd first moved into was now a frenzy of activity with the preparations for the weekend festival, a combined celebration of the founding of the town and the official beginning of summer. The festival was set to kick off in two hours with a wine, cheese, and art fair along the waterfront.

My teaser:

We had decided to breakfast in our room, for the sake of greater privacy and also because Emerson did not want to get dressed to go downstairs. His shirt was open at the throat and his sleeves had been pushed up to the elbows, the sight of him lounging at ease, long legs stretched out, a pipe in one hand and a pen in the other, almost distracted me from the matter at hand.

My teaser:

I swallowed hard, still trying to come to terms with what I had heard. I thought of Leslie, pretty, petite, perky, the third-grade teacher you always wished you'd had, who could turn the times tables into a giggly game or teach a kid how to hold a rabbit or build a drum out of an oatmeal box.

My teaser:

"Maybe I should tell him to find my tennis shoe. I don't know where the hell he put it." He looked at her, a long, thorough look that had her raising her eyebrows. "You run like the f****** wind, Fiona."

It's been a while since the last time I participated, but I think I'm on the road to recovery of my acute case of reading slump.

Here's my teaser:

A simple kiss that was threatening to turn her whole world upside down. Undoubtedly it would cost her any hope of winning a proposal of marriage from Hamilton.

My teaser this week is (I know it's more than two sentences, I just couldn't resist):

It stretches on and on. I live a thousand hours in a handful. I count from one to sixty beneath my breath, over and over, ticking away the minutes I make it through, thinking if I put enough of them between me and his death, the immediacy of the pain might dull and I will be able to catch a breath without a knife stabbing through my chest.

My teaser this week is:

"How did you come to ask Ari where he's from?"
"We were talking of you, that first day, and he called you Ivar," she said. His touch was distracting, but not so much so that she failed to notice the glances between him and Brand again.

My teaser:

Zhivago worked at his old table by the staff-room window, stacked with charts and forms of every size and shape. He had pushed them to one side; occasionally, in addition to taking notes from his medical works, he wrote in snatches his "Playing at People, a Gloomy Diary or Journal Consisting of Prose, Verse and What-have-you, Inspired by the Realization that Half the People Have Stopped Being Themselves and Are Acting Unknown Parts."

My teaser:

It is Dona Maria Ana who tugs the bell-pull, whereupon the King's footmen enter from one side and the Queen's ladies-in-waiting from the other. Various odours hover in the air and one of them is unmistakable for without its presence the long-awaited miracle could not possibly take place, and besides, the much-quoted immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary occurred but once so that the wolrd might know that Almighty God, when He chooses, has no need of men, though He cannot dispense with women.

My teaser:

Their house was full of unostentatious beauty and comfort, and here the art-loving host and hostess attracted and entertained artists of all kinds. Laurie had music enough now, and was a generous patron to the class he most liked to help. Amy had her proteges among ambitious young painters and sculptors, and found her own art double dear as her daughter grew old enough to share its labours and delights with her; for she was one of those who prove that women can be faithful wives and mothers without sacrificing the special gift bestowed upon them for their own development and the good of others.

My teaser:

No gossip about Mr. Casaubon's will had yet reached Ladislaw: the air seemed to filled with the dissolution of Parliament and the coming election, as the old wakes and fairs were filled with the rival clatter of itinerant shows; and more private noises were taken little notice of. The famous "dry election" was at hand, in which the depths of public feeling might be measured by the low flood-mark of drink.

I have had this book in my TBR pit for at least ten years. It's about time. My teaser this week:

Now seated at his desk with the proofs of the volume of poems in front of him, he pursues the thought, although it might be more precise to say that he anticipates it, because, knowing as we do that thoughts are fleeting, if we content ourselves with pursuing some thought, we shall soon lose the trail, we shall still be inventing the flying machine only to find it has already reached the stars.

My teaser this week:

"You're the expert. What about half? I don't know. Don't cancel the ones where we get into the vineyards," I said, thinking about my dirt question to Remy Gresser. Maybe if I can plunge my hand into that dirt, into the roots, this stuff will come to life.

My teaser this week:

"I believe you will find that the number of ancestors that should be represented here is exactly four thousand and ninety six." She raised her hand in the same weary gesture. "But here there are only a few Sir Edgars and their wives." Her eyes swept over Dido in chilling triumph. She turned to go. "I say again, Miss Kent, that there is not only one portrait missing from this gallery."
