Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!
Two teasers today, because I couldn’t pick between the books I’m reading:
“He was handsome as a god, made King not long before, still happy with his Spanish bride. They’d come to see his sister off, to make her royal match to doddering old King Louis.”
- The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn, by Robin Maxwell, p. 140
“Maria Theresa perceived that Marie Antoinette had lost her youthful air. Clearly the dauphine’s bedeviled life among people who constantly gossiped and intrigued was taking its toll.”
- In Triumph’s Wake: Royal Mothers, Tragic Daughters, and the Price They Paid for Glory, by Julia P. Gelardi, p. 200

Those sound like two intriguing books. Anne Boleyn seems to be a very popular subject right now, doesn’t she? Nice teasers.

Both sound good. I’ve got The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn. I can’t wait to read it. I like anything to do with the Tudor time period.

I have read the Secret Diary of Anne B. I really enjoyed it. I read it right after reading M. George’s The Autobiography of Henry VIII. What a WHOLE different perspective.
