Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at 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!
A Treasury of Royal Scandals, Michael Farquhar
As her long and lusty reign neared its close, only two things seemed to frighten Catherine the Great - an empty bed and the ascension of her half-mad son Paul to the Russian throne.
But while Catherine reigned, her nasty, pug-faced son would have to stew in his own resentment.
I want to read this one! I like the teaser you chose.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun book. Scandalous royals always make for great reading, don't they? Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine.
Ooh this sounds interesting! I have no idea the history of Catherine the Great.. but I want to read now to understand why she disliked her own son!

My Teaser: The Unit
Scandalous royals are bunches of fun! And the bit on Catherine isn't even the best of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I have this book and it was funny!
ReplyDeleteMy son has a couple of these books and he says they are great reads. I can't wait to hear what you think. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser for this week.
I really don't understand why Catherine the Great doesn't get much attention from historical fiction authors!
