I have decided to participate in a weekly meme. Tuesday doesn't end for another half an hour yet so I thought that this one would be a good one to start with. Yay for new things!
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!
"The sounds of the night throughout the house, and the starlight spreading pale lines along the edges of the window-cases, made the pall of black within more solemn and more mysterious.
We heard the clock in the corridor chiming the quarters with its silver bell till two o'clock; and then a strange feeling came over me."
We heard the clock in the corridor chiming the quarters with its silver bell till two o'clock; and then a strange feeling came over me."
From page 51 of Bram Stoker's The Jewel of Seven Stars.

Sounds like wonderful writing!

I've never read anything other than Dracula by Bram Stoker -sounds good! And perfect for Halloween.
Here's mine.
Hmm... might have to pick up some Bram!
Ooh... Nice teaser! I hope you're enjoying the book. :)
That got my attention! I've only read Dracula too but I might have to get my hands on that one.

A strange feeling came over her, hmmmm. I am curious about it. I have not yet read a Brom book. I think I may need to do that.
I did not do a teaser this week, but I did do the Where are you? post this week. If you would like to stop by...
