Teaser Tuesdays - March 2


Teaser 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!

Have you ever bought a book because you liked the cover or the title, without actually knowing if it would be good or not?

Well, this week's teaser is from a book that I bought because of the title.

'Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight' by Karen Scalf Linamen

'Wouldn't it be great if you and I really understood the principles of change? What if we had a good working knowledge of how to change, so that whenever anything came up that we wanted to tweak, we'd have a clue of what to do and how to begin?'

Good point. Life would be a lot less scary if we all knew already how to react to whatever might happen.

Yes I have bought a book on the basis of its title "How the Irish saved the Civilised World". I figured that there had to be a joke in it somewhere along the way.

I hope you enjoy your book, great teaser.

LOL, it is just too early in the morning to be thinking this heavy. A lot of "What ifs" Here's Mine.

Yes, that would be great!

"What to do and how to begin"

I wouldn't mind knowing that myself!

Mine is here.

I like the teaser, hope the book was worth the cover! Which I've definitely done before by the way. My teaser is at The Crowded Leaf.

I love the title! And it's so true ... changing habits is incredibly difficult.
