Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.
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!
This is my choice of the day:
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan
69% Both Freddy and Sunshine seemed to accept Therese with an equanimity that Laura found 
infuriating. The troublesome presence of someone who was definitely dead and scattered in the garden should surely cause some consternation?
BLURB: Once a celebrated author of short stories now in his twilight years, Anthony Peardew has spent half his life lovingly collecting lost objects, trying to atone for a promise broken many years before.
Realising he is running out of time, he leaves his house and all its lost treasures to his assistant Laura, the one person he can trust to fulfil his legacy and reunite the thousands of objects with their rightful owners. But the final wishes of the Keeper of Lost Things have unforeseen repercussions which trigger a most serendipitous series of encounters…
I have got a fair way into this charming, fey read with two plotlines running side by side. How they finally meet up will determine the success of this book. In the meantime I am really enjoying the characters and story progression – along with the dry humour.
Not heard of this one before! Love the passage you have chosen. Don’t know about the characters, that would definitely cause ME some consternation! 😀
It’s one of those quirky, off the wall books that is difficult to categorise – but definitely worth reading. I finished it last night and it’s lovely.
I was about to say the same thing as Mogsy. This book isn’t one I’d heard of before, and both the blurb and your excerpt caught my attention. It also sounds like it combines a few different genres…?
Yes… it is more mainstream, but there is a very slight paranormal feel to elements of the story. But it is a lovely, heart-warming tale without being remotely sentimental.
I’ve got this on my list. Such a lovely cover and I’ve been meaning to try this author.
My TT from River Of Teeth
Oh yes, I can recommend it – I’ve now finished reading it. I held off waxing too enthusiastic until I’d got to the end as I was hoping it wouldn’t go all treacly and sentimental on me… And it didn’t:). I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of River of Teeth as I’ve got it lined up to read very soon. I hope you enjoy it!
I enjoyed this too – it’s very charming and makes a nice break from grimdark, blood and guts!
Lynn 😀
Yes – I read it straight after finishing A Monster Calls which was beautiful, but terribly upsetting…
This one is right up my alley, and I am adding it to my TBR list. My Tuesday Teaser is given at http://powerfulwomenreaders.com
It’s a lovely book, Rae – unusual and difficult to categorise.
Correction: http://powerfulwomenreaders.wordpress.com Sorry. I got in a hurry.
Don’t worry – I was a bit bemused at first, but managed to get there, anyhow:)
I’ve been eyeing this book…I love characters who are “collectors/hoarders.” Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Yay! And I’m now going to do a happy dance that we have a book in common as well as mutual respect and virtual friendship:))
I haven’t heard of this one either, but this teaser makes me want to read more! Thank you for sharing!
My Teaser is from: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
You’re welcome, Gabby – I’m just popping across to check out your TT – what an intriguing title!
It sounds good. I have it on my TBR already. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for coming by.
Oh yes – I think you’ll enjoy it.
I’ve heard great things about The Keeper Of Lost Things; I hope you will keep enjoying it! 🙂
Oh yes – I’ve finished it now and it is a lovely book – both in the writing and the cover.
That’s great to hear!
Glad you are enjoying the book.
This sounds like a lovely read – I love the passage you chose! Never heard of it but I’m quite keen to add it to my TBR 😀
It is a cracking read – I really enjoyed it and will be reviewing it in due course.
