Teaser Tuesdays

Should Be ReadingTeaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  1. Grab your current read
  2. Open to a random page
  3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  4. 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!)
  5. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:


Legend of Sleepy Hollow

"In this perplexity, I was one morning turning over his pages when I casually opened upon the comic scenes of Henry IV, and was, in a moment, completely lost in the madcap revelry of the Boar's Head Tavern. So vividly and naturally are these scenes of humor depicted and with such force and consistency are the characters sustained that they become mingled up in the mind with the facts and personages of real life."



~ p. 119, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories from The Sketch Book by Washington Irving
