Teaser Tuesdays

It's Tuesday so there must be a teaser here somewhere...

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!

Here is mine ...

''Still, she found it difficult to believe that Ivy and her husband had gotten the notion to join the Amish from him. But it was her sister's prayer that her children would' live their lives to the fullest measure, even if I should die prematurely' that struck Sarah as most significant.''

page 223-224 'The Redemption of Sarah Cain' by Beverly Lewis.

More teasers can be found here.

As in they weren't Amish and then they joined? Can you do that? Huh.

My teaser at arch thinking. Unusually for me, its nonfiction.

JOining the AMish...think I'll pass. I will not willingly give up my modern conviences, but it may be interesting to read about. Good teaser :)

Novels about the Amish seem to have boomed in recent years. Although I have never read one, Beverly Lewis is a name I recognise, so I will look this one up. How faith-based communities balance spirituality with practical aspects of life is interesting to me. I remember loving Rumer Godden's In This House Of Brede, for example.

My own teaser this week does happen to deal with "the world beyond", too, but in a very different manner!

Replying to your comment to me, I had to smile, me go to Cambridge!! No we offered hospitality to a guy who would come down for the weekend to visit his then girlfriend who was in our fellowship. Interestingly they are both now Pastors at a church in Harlow.
Don't think you can split Lavender (although my largest one had rooted everywhere) I have replaced with new plugs which are not much bigger than cuttings. A cheap way of doing it.

Amy's Quilt Festival.

Over at Amy's blog there is an online quilt festival starting today and running for a week. As I have only ever made one quilt I don't have a lot of choice but as no judging takes place I thought I'd participate. Apologies to those who have already read the details of the quilt in an earlier post but I need to chronicle the it's making for the festival. It was about 2-3 years in the planning , as I was such a coward I really didn't know where to begin. The idea for the quilt was a request from my youngest daughter and not wishing to disappoint I immediately agreed. The material was duly bought and about 2 squares were sewn and that was it for at least a year!!! Then last Autumn I visited a quilt exhibition and when talking to a very talented lady just had to mention about 'this' quilt . She was very reassuring and said' as long as you stick to your pattern all will be well'. A pattern, what pattern? There was no pattern, I believed I could make th

The rules are, 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! Here is my teaser, 'A few steps away, an apartment building had been finished inside the ruins of what looked like an ancient theater, with modern brick and glass windows above rows of arches, the 'lawn' a series of pieces of fallen marble and stone, some of it intricately carved, just lying around like so. A small sign in multiple languages warned passersby about taking a souvenir ruin or two.' from 'A Friday Night Knitting Club novel Knit Two', by Kate Jacobs. page 220. Can you guess which country this describes? More teasers here.

This is this week's discussion We’ve all seen the lists, we’ve all thought, “I should really read that someday,” but for all of us, there are still books on “The List” that we haven’t actually gotten around to reading. Even though we know they’re fabulous. Even though we know that we’ll like them. Or that we’ll learn from them. Or just that they’re supposed to be worthy. We just … haven’t gotten around to them yet. What’s the best book that YOU haven’t read yet? I think this week's discussion could be closely related to my last post concerning the Daily Telegraph article on reading habits. However as I have already 'casted my vote' in the 'Telegraph' poll I'll concentrate on books on my bookshelf that I intend to read one day. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver has been sitting on my shelf for years and it remains unread. There is no particular reason for it remaining so I just haven't picked it up, even though it has achieved numerous good r
