Yes, it is Tuesday yet again - who's ready for a bit of a tease? I'm still reading
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by
Jane Austen and
Ben H. Winters, so you get another little sneak into this one. Hope you like it!
"Glancing up in her shock, she was confronted with the strangest sight of all: Miss Steele was lacing up her whale-bone corset and there, on the small of her back, was etched a tattoo in scarlet ink; it was the cryptic five-pointed pattern, exactly as had appeared to Elinor so many times, in such darkly portentous fashion, since her arrival on Pestilent Isle."
So it turns out there is a little more than just a simple, absurd rewrite in this book! I'm intrigued; are you? Feel free to leave a link to your teaser in the comments! If you haven't played before, Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at
Should Be Reading. Just open the book you're currently reading and post a couple of sentences as a teaser - careful not to include any spoilers, though!
That's a great teaser! I think I might want to read this one! Thanks for visiting my teaser :)
