Where Are You? / Teaser Tuesdays (March 10)


I'm in junior high, and I've just gotten my first real job! Okay, so it's in a teashop owned my grandmother (Louisa), but still . . . it's a job. I hope my best friends, artistic Genna and athletic Zoe, will be as excited as I am, but all they seem to care about lately is boys!

For more Where Are You? answers, visit Raidergirl3 at An Adventure in Reading.



MizB at Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Here's how it works: Grab your current read; let the book fall open to a random page; and share 2 “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. For more teasers, click on through to MizB's blog.

"Keep an eye on Jonathan when you can, dear. I want to make sure he's using enough tea in each pot." My heart leapt a bit at the sound of his name. I hope Louisa didn't notice me blushing. I didn't want her to regret hiring me because I flipped out every time her other employee turned up.*

— both from The Teashop Girls by Laura Schaefer**

  18. Sounds like a cute book, but I'm not sure I could handle the junior high part. That's not a place I'm eager to return to, even in the books I read! Good teasers.

  22. It's a very cute quote. Heart-warming.

    My reading took me to Somerset, England; but I'll get back to America in 1863, as I return to Gone with the Wind.
