On Tuesday, creative sparks fly here, and over at Should Be Reading, where Miz B hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Here’s how to create some sparks of your own.
- 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.
Today I’m excerpting from The Midwife’s Confession, by Diane Chamberlain.
A novel about mothers and daughters, about secrets, friendship, love and loss, how we bring our children into the world and how we raise them…it is an engrossing tale that keeps you guessing to the end, with all its twists and turns….
Teaser: The weight of the secret pressed down on her suddenly, and she dropped her hand to her lap, heavy as a stone. When she’d awakened this morning, she’d had no idea that this would be the day she could no longer carry that weight. p. 9
Wow! Now I can’t wait to know more. What did you find today when looking for that special something? I hope you’ll stop by and spark our interest in your choice.
Hopping by to say Hi! *waves*

Thanks for the visit to Allison’s Book Bag and the teaser. Some mothers (and daughters) whom I know might like The Midwife’s Apprentice.
Here is my teaser: “She saw no glittering eyes, heard no creaking. There was only the sensation of prickling skin and the feeling of the presence of something Other.” I’m posting the teaser here, because mine is embedded in the archives for my daily teasers of Behind Green Glass by Amanda von Hoffman.
