My teaser today is taken from Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days."
"Mrs. Aouda thanked her deliverers profusely, by her tears more than by her words. Her beautiful eyes, rather than her lips, were the interpreters of her gratitude."
Oooh. Interesting teaser :) Thanks for sharing!

Teaser Tuesday: The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus)
This one doesn't appeal to me at all. Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser. Hope you enjoy. Here is my TT http://cynthiastacey.com/2014/10/14/teaser-tuesday-oct-14/
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember if I read this book or just watched the movie. If I haven't read it, I should:)
ReplyDeleteHere is my TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/10/14/teaser-tuesdays-85-the-memory-closet/
I have been curious about this book. Hope you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My TT - Clay by Tony Bertauski
For those who have asked if I'm enjoying it - I found that it actually was kind of a false start. The tempo was very slow with not too much going on. But it is gradually picking up pace and I'm warming nicely to it now.

ReplyDeleteI wish that my own eyes were so expressive! =D
I'm bogged down in another Jules Verne novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas. My experience with it has been the opposite of yours with this one: I found the beginning very exciting, but it has lost momentum since then. =/
I've always wanted to read this one but haven't yet. Would you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the classics I have still yet to read. Is it good?

Ah those eyes being the windows to the soul! Great teaser from a classic read. Here is my TT http://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/teaser-tuesday-october-14/
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie more than once but never read the book. I hope you've enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features WAR BRIDES.
A Jules Verne tidbit: When I read Nelly Bly's book Around the World in Seventy-Two Days, she got to meet Jules Verne and his wife when she was in France.

I've never read this classic, but I really enjoyed this teaser. I like the way it's describing this woman. Cool choice!!
ReplyDeleteHere are My Teasers.
I have to sit down and read this one some day. I like the storyline and the movie, but have never read the book.
ReplyDeleteMine is from a young adult suspense novel:

Enjoy! your book.
ReplyDeleteI've been kinda curious about this one over the years... I haven't read enough Verne. This makes me think about picking up some of his stuff...
ReplyDeleteAppreciating all the comments. A number of commenters have asserted that they have never read this book but one day wish to. As you know, this is a writing from the 19th century, so it's not in the more modern style of writing we are more familiar with. It is however, an intriguing read with all the old English, written in a 'proper' way which makes one feel rather sophisticated while reading it. My advice is to pick up these old Jules Verne classics and give them a try.
ReplyDeleteWell, eyes are the window to the soul after all(:
ReplyDeleteThanks for having had stopped by my blog!

Loved this book! I last read it aloud to my kids a couple years ago and they liked it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Tuesday Teaser as well!
Great teaser. I read this many many years ago. I don't really remember very much, though.
ReplyDeleteHave not yet read this one by Vernes. Thanks for visiting my teaser!
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to admit that I haven't read this one yet! I love the teaser, though, so that might push me! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteThe authors writing is solid and clear, I thoroughly enjoy books with eloquent writing such as this teaser; thanks for sharing!
