Welcome to another Teaser Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading! It's easy to play along, just post a few sentences from whatever book you're currently reading - but be careful not to include any spoilers! I just started a new book last night, Embers by Laura Bickle:
"The basement spirit was stronger than she'd thought. She imagined the owner of the house facing this thing alone, and bristled at its arrogance. Power like that could have crippled or killed the old woman. As for what it had done to the pickles...blasphemy." (p. 10)
Yep, anyone who knows someone Polish/of Polish descent knows we love a good a pickle! I'm only up to chapter three in this book, but I had to tear myself away from it to make sure I at least tried to get some sleep last night. That is to say, I'm really enjoying it so far! It's an added bonus that this book is set in Detroit, and the main character, Anya, lives in Hamtramck - my father's mother was from Hamtramck, so even just reading the background and description is fun for me.
What are you reading right now? Link to your teaser in the comments!
