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!
Here is mine:
“ When at last our parents returned, Mother’s face was as white as alabaster and Father’s blotched with temper. As she fled past me to the door leading to the solar stairs she glanced at me and I saw tears just starting to spill down her cheeks.”
~Page 21, The King’s Mistress by Emma Campion (ARC copy page numbers may vary.)

Hmmm, interesting. Great teaser!
I just started reading the King’s Mistress and just finished reading that top portion. So far so good but I have a sneaky suspicion about her mother and her groom to be. I really think that he’s too old for Alice (hello she’s 13 and he’s 33!) and there is something leery about the antagonism btw the mother and him….
Let me know how you fare and we’ll have to talk about this book at the end.
Posted my teaser on Aisle B so come on by for the guacomole dip and tacos
oh sad . . .
I can’t resist so I had to read the synopsis. Is this kind of “The Other Boleyn Girl” novel? I saw some parts of the movie and it made me swear not to read the book. It was too depressing.
Philippa Gregory’s novels are wonderful and the movie was a disgrace to the book. Please try reading The Other Boleyn Girl, it is so wonderful.
As for The King’s Mistress takes place during the reign of King Henry III and is by a completely different author. My review has been posted it you are interested in taking a look.
Great teaser! It sounds like a good book!
Great teaser! Haven’t heard of the book, but I’ll definitely have to add it to my to-read list.
