Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Basically, open the book you’re currently reading and share a couple of sentences from that page on your blog.   Avoid spoilers of course.

Here’s mine:

    Hmm…very interesting teaser clip. I love the “it just makes it look weird”, made me laugh as I was getting ready this morning…Is this a non-fiction I assume?

    Here’s my Teaser.
