Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little. Grab your current read, open to a random page, and give us two teaser sentences. Remember, no spoilers.

Purchase The Man Who Loved Books Too Much at Amazon, an Indie bookstore, or The Book Depository.
