Tuesday Teaser ~



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Here's how it works..

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure what you share does not give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author too so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Hi, All!  I've been absent the last two weeks, catching up on my reading.  Now I've got a new teaser to share.

Front Cover  Mina reviewed one of Katie MacAlister's books awhile back, and that review left me eager to search out this author.  When I saw this title, I had to give it a try.  One hilarious escapade after another, Men In Kilts is sure to elicit a giggle even from the staunchest of readers.  If you like humor sprinkled throughout your romance once in awhile, this is sure to please.

Teaser - ' 'Would you like to meet me in the lobby or should I come to your room and knock you up?'
(Culture and speaking differences between hero and heroine are So, so fun....anyhoo...)
Honest to god, I didn't bat an eye.'

Hope you got a small giggle at least.  This book has had me laughing out loud in my living room long after everyone is fast asleep for the night.

    Great teaser! This was a cute story. My teasers are from The Prophet by Amanda Stevens and Rebel Fire by Andrew Lane. Happy reading!

    I see others have giggled their way through Katie MacAlister books. I am now about 70% complete (Kindle) and still laughing uproariously. I've very much enjoyed it....

    Thanks, Mina! I'd never have found Ms. MacAlister if not for your adventurous library perusal.

      I'll tell you, when I read that, I had a good belly-laugh! All alone in my living room reading nook, everyone else sleeping away, I laughed until tears gathered at the hilarious thoughts of MacAlister's heroine.

    Fun teaser. I like some of Ms. macAlister's books better than others. I think it's the cultural thing - humor doesn't always translate.

    I'm finding you are right, Shelley. I just finished another of her books that wasn't nearly as laughable. It was still a pleasant read, but not the same. I'm waiting on yet another, and I hope to LOVE it as much as I did Men In Kilts. Ha.

Euphemania-Ralph Keyes: Review and Giveaway

A Book About Why We Speak As We Do We tend to read a lot of fiction here at the Brazen Broads Book Bash, so it's always nice to get our hands on some good nonfiction books almost as a way to cleanse our palettes sometimes.  Ralph Keyes book, Euphemania ,  is the perfect mix of informative yet interesting.  In it, he shares the reasons why we use euphemisms so often in our daily speech.  The main idea behind the book is that euphemisms are used to make the uncomfortable more comfortable.  Therefore, they're very common in discussions about sex.  One anecdote offered in the book refers to Jesse Jackson's threat during the 2008 election in which he stated he wanted to "cut off Barack Obama's nuts."  Keyes explains that the major news organizations struggled with how to report this, using euphemisms such as Jackson wanted to do something to his sensitive areas.  (It escapes the Broads why they couldn't just say Jackson wanted to castrate him.)

Okay.  I know what you're probably thinking.  A book about war??  Not for me.  No way.  Uh-uh.  Now, now.  Don't be hasty to dismiss this great read.  I stumbled across Tom Clancy, a master - really - during the mid 80's as a young teen.  (Ages ago, right?  Ha!)  I bought a collection of Clancy novels for my father for a Christmas gift, and a few months later, bored and looking for something to feed my voracious appetite for books, I decided to give old
