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!
At the far end of the room, there moved a pretty young nurse of clear and radiant goodness, caring for these helpless wrecks with boundless reserves of energy and compassion–guiding them to a chair, brightening their day with chatter, wiping dribble from their chins–and I thought, This is just the sort of person I need.
We were married sixteen months later in the local church, which I passed now as I made my way down Christchurch Road, shuffling along through papery leaves, under a tunnel of lofty boughs, humming the last eight bars of “Nell Gwyn”.
pg. 62 of Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!
Love Bill Bryson! There are days when I think someone who can guide me to a chair and pat me on the back is the sort of person I need, too. 🙂
My teaser, from an unusual memoir that I’m liking a lot, is here!

Well, it’s not about them- it’s about Britain, so you might not want to pick this up if you’re expecting a love story! But it’s still pretty good.
(And I love Westies! I have one myself- a ten year old named Charlemagne, who is the manliest little guy.)
Great teaser! Here’s mine

I’ve not heard of this one….good teaser, though!
My mother had a copy of this lying around the house when I was a wee lass, but I’d never picked it up for more than a hour until now. Thanks for dropping by!
What an interesting teaser. Makes me wonder if he wants someone to care for him or just found her caring nature appealing? 🙂
Here’s my teaser for this week.
I think he just found it appealing- they met in the mental institution they both worked at! Thanks for dropping by.
how sweet!
Kaye-the road goes ever ever on
Thanks for popping by!
I’ve heard Bill Bryson interviewed so many times, and keep thinking, “I really need to read his books.” And I really do! Great teaser.
Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
He’s very funny in a very British way- despite being American, oddly enough! Thanks for stopping by!
