Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat If you want to join in grab your current read, flick to a random page, select two sentences (without spoilers) and share them in a blog post or in the comments of Books and a Beat.
This week my teaser is from classic romance Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It’s one of my all time favourite books and I recently bought a brand new hardback copy from Waterstones. I’d been staring at it in the shops for months and finally caved. Look it’s just sooo pretty.
Oh, there probably is a mild spoiler in my teaser but I’m assuming everyone knows the story 🙂
My Teaser
I was experiencing an ordeal: a hand of fiery iron grasped my vitals. Terrible moment: full of struggle, blackness, burning! Not a human being that ever lived could wish to be better loved than I was loved; and him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped: and I must renounce love and idol. One drear word comprised my intolerable duty – “Depart!”
~ Page 380, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Happy reading everyone.

I keep meaning to read this but I have to be in the right mood.

Great teaser! I read this one years ago and don’t remember very much about it. I hope you are enjoying it. My teaser this week comes from cozy mystery The Bluebonnet Betrayal by Marty Wingate. Happy reading!

This is one of those books that I never have far away. It’s been a while since I read all the way through. I tend to pick up and read random passages 🙂

I’ve been saying since I read Jane Steele that I should read this from start to finish but have to admit I just re read my favourite sections

Aren’t they. In writing this post though I hadn’t realised just how much punctuation there was. I don’t use or know how to use half of those symbols.

I have to confess that I have never read this classic… Probably mostly because I’m not really a romance fan in the first place, because I have never read most other historical romance classics either (oops?). I like your teaser though!
