Teaser Tuesday



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
• Share the title & author, too, so that other participants can add the book to their to-read lists.

From The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty:
"Still, girls were now sporting skirts so short that their knees showed every time the wind blew, and there was no practical reason for that. Viola was right: a girl who wore a skirt that short just wanted to be looked at, and looked at in that way."
I am enjoying this clever story about a lady who chaperoned Louise Brooks on her first trip to New York City. The whimsical story is presenting an interesting peek into life during the Jazz Age of the 1920s.
What are you reading?
