Diane Zahler’s reimagined fairy tales are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Princess of the Wild Swans is another fun book that kept me entertained over the weekend. I am looking forward to more of her books!
| I rose abruptly, rocking the table. As I stood, my goblet crashed to the floor, shattering into a hundred tiny pieces. At the sound, the door to the hall flew open. Mistress Tuileach stood there, and I ran to her. Help me! I thought in desperation. |
I just picked up Deadly by Julie Chibbaro. I love the premise; it takes place in New York in 1906 during the devastating outbreak of typhoid fever.
| Every September, the shivers come over me, thoughts of my brother’s terrifying death, and the questions – why did his short life end? Why do people have to die? |
Teaser Tuesdays is 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!
Interesting teaser! Deadly sounds very intense. Here is my TT.
I love the cover for Princess of the Wild Swans! I’m going to have to check that out.
Deadly sounds really interesting too and there aren’t many books that deal with that time period.

Princess of the Wild Swans sure looks and sounds like a winner.
Deadly sounds very mysterious, great teaser!
