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!
- Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
My wife and I thought about a home birth for our second baby but ultimately decided against it. While I don't consider myself particularly squeamish, I just couldn't imagine how we'd avoid making a mess all over the bedroom carpet.My husband bought this for himself, on the advice of friends, and I read it, too, just for fun. I don't plan on reviewing it, but thought it was enjoyable enough to share this snippet.
May have to recommend this one to my husband. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat teaser made me smile.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser, sounds like a fun book for fathers, maybe I'll get my brother (and wife?) a copy (first baby due anytime now!!)
ReplyDeleteI'd smack him. But I've had 2 kids.

Here is my teaser from The Trophy Bride’s Tale by Cyrilla Barr (page 1):
ReplyDeleteI have never seen an execution! I am terrified & tremble uncontrollably now as I stand on the fringes of restless crowd desperately hoping that no one will notice me in my shabby pilgrim’s weeds. At that I saw his face break into a warm smile and I knew I had at last reached safer ground.
Very practical. Although I had 3 kids and never once even remotely entertained the idea of home birth and since the sight of blood makes my husband faint, it would have been an all around disaster. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesdays-outside-the-ordinary-world.html
