Teaser Tuesday


Photobucket

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by 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!


After Many Days (Children's continuous series)

After Many Days - L.M. Montgomery
This is a collection of short stories exploring the theme of postponement and the poignancy of "time passed." My teaser comes from the story titled "The Romance of Jedediah."

Romance cares not for appearances and apparently delights in contradictions. The homely, shambling man you pass unnoticed on the street may have, tucked away in his past, a story more exciting and thrilling than anything you have ever read in fiction.      p. 29

  1. Deep quote that makes you think! I often wonder about someone's story when I pass them on the street. Amazing on the lives that are being lived.

  12. Wonderful teaser!
    I love L.M. Montgomery. Anne of Green Gables was a huge part of my childhood and I've enjoyed many of her other works as well.
