Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
- Head on over to Should Be Reading and leave a link to your post. Then check out some of the other teasers.
My tease for this Tuesday...
A knitting mystery set in beautiful Colorado
She stepped out onto the patio and scanned the ground for the blue dish when a slight movement to the left caught the periphery of her eye. Turning quickly, Kelly was startled to see a young woman standing only six feet away from her on the patio.
~p.4, Skein of the Crime by Maggie Sefton
(the book includes a knitting pattern and a recipe)

That would startle me too! Wonder what the young woman's doing there? Happy New Year! You can find my teaser at The Bookish Snob

Teaser Tuesday: If Walls Could Talk by Juliet Blackwell
Whoa! That would startle me, too!
That's a great teaser! I'm becoming a fan of Maggie Sefton's books. I'm reading Dyer Consequences now.
Here is my teaser from Nature's Secret Messages: Hidden in Plain Sight by Elaine Wilkes (Page 3):
"We lie in the lap of immense intelligence." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Stop. Look. Listen. My kindergarten teacher taught me that. I remember carefully lining up the tips of my patent-leather shoes exactly at the edge of the curb and stopping–then carefully looking to my right and left, quiet and aware, listening for any clues. Feeling that it was safe to proceed, I'd grasp my classmate's hand, jump off the curb, and happily venture into unknown territories on the other side of the street.
Now I barely glance from side to side as I hurry on my way.
What happened? Where did that wide-open feeling of awareness go? In the rush of adulthood, it seems to vanish, but what would happen if we simply stopped, looked and listened…even as busy adults?
As a learning addict, I've hunted for insights through countless books, seminars, experts, masters and more. Eventually, I realized that my kindergarten teacher had it right from the beginning, long before I started my quest. Who knew that she was so profound?
that would surprise anyone!

Cute cover. Sounds like a cozy mystery.
Ohh! I have this one sitting in my TBR pile!
Now I can't wait to read it to find out what happens.
