'Teaser Tuesday' is a weekly meme hosted by Mizb of Should Be Reading

You can do it!  Here's how:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share a few "teaser" sentences/or a paragraph from somewhere on that page.
  • Share the title and author ~ other 'Teaser Tuesday' participants may want to add your book to their TBR list!
*Be careful not to include SPOILERS!!*

Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved, #1)Here is my teaser from Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan:
Excerpt from page 117:
"Because of the relative length of our lives, so many things lose importance or become lost themselves, against such a huge  backdrop," River continued.  "How many lovers have you had?  How many children?  How many friends have you loved who are dead now?  For regular people, these events are tremendous and shape or change their entire lives.  For us, it's a wink in time.  But they do affect us.  Little by little, bit by bit, loss by loss, we ourselves become diminished.  We've lost so much for so long that most things, most people, most experiences lose their value for us, their weight.  We forget how to value things, how to feel things.  We forget how to love."

*I am really enjoying this book so far! It just released, so go out and grab you a copy!!
