Teaser Tuesdays

The Triumph of Katie Byrne by Barbara Taylor Bradford

"No one answered. The barn was empty. Taken aback, Katie stood for a moment frozen to the spot. Her eyes scanned the room swiftly, and straightaway she noticed the disarray." (p. 31)

This is what 17 year old Katie Byrne discovers when she goes to retrieve her backpack from where she left it with her two best friends. While she was gone, something terrible happened to them...

I could call this the week of Cheap, Trashy, Romance Novels. Temporarily tired of quality paperbacks, ones that I must read slowly so as not to miss every nuance, I've delved deeply into the torrid romances I bought at the AAUW Used Book Sale last week.  Not normally accustomed to such fare, I must say it's a pleasant change of page. For awhile, anyway. 

Teaser Tuesdaysis 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
