It's Tuesday.... Where Are You? and Tuesday Teasers






I am living in Bald Slope, a ski resort town in North Carolina. I am an only child, an adult woman and still live at home with my mother. She's convinced me that she needs me to take care of her and I can't do much better. I have a secret penchant for sweets and find a way to escape with them and my romance novels. This all changes when I unexpectedly meet a new friend...in my closet of all places. My life magically starts to change.


~The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen





TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:


Grab your current read.

Let the book fall 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!

Please avoid spoilers!


"Books were good for a story or to teach a card trick or two, but what were they really? Just paper and string and glue. They evoked emotions and that was why people felt a connection with them."

pg. 36 ~The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen

Are you enjoying this book, Bonnie? I liked it. Different from her first book but it still had the magical quality to it. I'm looking forward to her next book (next year).

lol-I knew exactly what you were reading just from the Where Are You part. I liked this book and I agree with Mary it was different from her first but still had the magic. I'm anxiously waiting for the next one.

I loved her first book and cannot wait to get to this one. Waiting for Our Lady of the Books to get it in TPB size. = )

Margot said...

I liked your summary of the book in the Where are you section. Sounds like a good book.
