I have read quite a lot of books lately, and I intend to read many more. And in books I have discovered that there are sometimes lonely patches
And scary times
Disasters
Catastrophes
And long paragraphs of no use at all except possibly (says Saffron) to build up your stamina.
But there are also jokes
Friends
Adventures
And homes.
And these things
Will help you through the long paragraphs
Lonely patches
Perils
And even problems with as many heads as dragons.
To live Happily Ever After.

Teaser Tuesdays is a fun 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!
I really like that. :)
Perfect teaser! I thought you had written those lines yourself, till I reached the last line and saw the book’s title :) I can’t wait to read your review of the book.
