•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!



Eight Cousins (Puffin Classics) by Louisa May Alcott

"Aunt Myra says I have no constitution, and never shall be strong," observed Rose, in a pensive tone, as if it were rather a nice thing to be an invalid.

"Aunt Myra is a--ahem!--an excellent woman, but it is her hobby to believe that everyone is tottering on the brink of the grave; and upon my life, I believe she is offended if people don't fall into it! p.37

  6. I really loved Eight Cousins and the sequel Rose In Bloom. They are my favorite Alcotts. Check out my teasers for Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza and Rage Against the Dying by Becky Masterman. Happy reading!
