- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
My teaser sentences for today [Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter (Pg 63)]:
"Jane Austen lived here during the last eight years of her life and this is regarded by many to be her literary home. . ."
Our tour guide is chuntering away as she leads us through the seventeenth-century red-brick house which has been turned into a museum, and although I'm trying to focus, my attention keeps drifting.
Todays MUSING MONDAYS post is a question from “Scobberlotch” who asks:
How has the economy impacted your book buying? Do you think it’ll change the reading and book-buying habits of the country? Will it increase your library visits? Will it make you wait for the paperback edition instead of buying the hardcover?
Hmm... seriously I have not thought of this before, but I do not think the economy will have much impact on my book buying. My book buying rules are very simple:
- I will buy my favourite authors' books;
- The books are recommended by fellow blog buddies;
- I am intrigued by the blurbs.
I have not been to the libraries for a long time (I am not sure if I will read and return the books on time; and I like to read at my own pace nowadays), but I do visit used bookstores and then, there is BookMooch.
As much as I love hardcovers, I hardly buy them because I find them bulky and inconvenient to carry along, so paperbacks is still my favourites.
As for whether or not if the economy will change the reading and book-buying habits of the country, I think there is a possibility but then it will depend on how much of a bookworm that person is.
