Teaser Tuesday – The House on Tradd Street

teasertuesdays31Teaser 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!

The words were too small for me to read, and I hadn’t brought by reading glasses.  I squinted, trying to hide this fact from Jack, but, of course, he caught on right away.

“I keep forgetting that you’re older than me, Mellie.  Here, let me read them out loud.”

Chapter 10

 The House on Tradd Street by Karen White: Book Cover

I haven’t started this yet, so these sentences were totally random, but funny.  So, what are you going to tease me with today?

  23. Oh I don’t think Jack sounds rude – I think he sounds sweet offering to read it aloud to her. He forgets that she is older and has failing vision – because he thinks of her as young. That is a compliment – as backhanded as it may have been delivered.
