WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG DESIGN!!!!! Hope you all like it! I absolutely LOVE IT!! And I want to give a HUGE shout out to my gal
Karen of SIMPLY AMUSING DESIGNS for creating it for me! She was so lovely and just a joy to work with, and created EXACTLY the blog I was hoping for!!
ANYway, now for Teaser Tuesday!
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading, and anyone can play along!
- grab your current read
- flip to a random page
- select two (2) teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
- please do not include any spoilers!
- and remember to add the title of the book and the author so we can all add it to our ever growing TBR pile!
I have finally gotten around to starting "The Wife's Tale" by Lori Lansens. A HUGE THANK YOU to HarperCollins for sending this to me a few months ago, and lately there has been quite a bit of bloggy blab about it! So, here's my teaser:
"Having forced some toast and strawberries on both herself and her mother-in-law, Mary set off to check out of the hotel. She could not imagine, climbing the hill to the Highlands, where her strength was coming from, and wondered what sway the prayer circle had with their maker."

Thanks SO MUCH Jennifer, Katy and Bookshelf! I keep clicking on it and staring at it in total awe.... something I have wanted to do for a looong time!

Simple and clean design. Congrats on your new look!
LOVE the new design!!
I'm going to cheat for my teaser as I'm currently reading a Latin Textbook...so here's a sample from my last read.
"Here in New York City, for example, one in four kids who live in the South Bronx suffers from asthma, resulting largely from the exhaust fumes of trucks that haul away New Yorkers' trash. Meanwhile, experts find that an array of health problems, including lung disease, infertility, Parkinson's disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and childhood autism, to name a few, are related to the unwholesome amounts of toxic chemicals we spew into our air, water, and soil."

Thanks, Missy and Natalie! The little kitty was something I requested after I saw the blog done. I just thought that stack of books was just begging for a cute little snoozing kitty to be on top! And Karen delivered, he/she is SOOO CUTE!
