TEASER TUESDAYS, hosted by MizB at Should be Reading:

1. Grab your current read and let the book fall open to a random page.
2. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page
3. Share the title of the book the “teaser” comes from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
4. Please avoid spoilers!
