Teaser & Top Ten Tuesdays

 

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Purple Princess of The Purple Booker. 

Here are the rules:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a page
3. Pick out 2 lines that are SPOILER FREE
4. Name the title, author, etc.

My work trip and then being endlessly busy the rest of the week and exhausted on top of that seriously cut into my reading time, so alas I am still reading this one. But it's also very possible that I might have finished it but for the sake of getting this post up on time, I am returning to this one for a teaser!

"I scowled at him, and he flicked his gaze over me, lingering on my mouth. 'It wasn't an insult. I like it.'" p 432

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
