Teaser Tuesday ...


....on a Wednesday! Apologies for my delayed Teasers but yesterday I was distracted by our lovely Nutella pancakes (see below) and didn't have the time to post... Anyway, it must still be Tuesday somewhere around the world...or not?



Today my teasers are :

'And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to burn men with heat of fire".


(Page 272 of "Revelation" by C.J. Sansom)
The quotes are actually from the Book of Revelation but are part of this
historical novel/thriller set at the time of Henry VIII and
it's Matthew Shardlake's the fourth instalment, although you don't need to have read the previous novels to enjoy this one.
Teaser Tuesday 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!

Sounds like a book series I'd enjoy. I'm going to see what is available at my library online.

It does sound like a good book. I enjoy thrillers too.

Nutella on pancakes, now why didnt i think of that?

Nutella sounds a whole lot healthier than Monster Munch... which was my daughter's rather unusual choice on Pancake Day!

And I've just finished (and taken back to the study) Stephen Fry's autobiography 'Moab is my Washpot' (more Old Testament) so I can't do the meme without going up two flights of stairs. May I be excused, please?
