Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by A Daily Rhythm where anyone can play along.
This is how it goes:
- Open a random page of a book you are currently reading
- Share two “teaser” sentences from anywhere on that page
- Avoid spoilers
- Share title and author so others can add the book to their TBR list.
This week’s Teaser Tuesday sentences were extracted from the book The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. This is a book I have been meaning to read for quite some time. This is the third classic book I’m reading for another challenge–The Classics Club Challenge.
I’m in the very early chapters of this book, and I’m loving it so far. I’m curious to see how this story will unfold.
“A strange gentleman, speaking English with a foreign accent, came that morning to the house, and asked to see Mr. Franklin Blake on business. The business could not possibly have been connected with the Diamond, for these two reasons–first, that Mr. Franklin told me nothing about it; secondly, that he communicated it (when the gentleman had gone, as I suppose) to my lady.”
If you liked this teaser, add this book to your TBR list on:

I have this sitting on my TBR, patiently. Your teaser has made me want to get to it sooner rather than later – thanks for sharing.

I loved this book! It’s been much too long though, definitely due for a reread!

There’s nobody quite like Wilkie for a ripping yarn. Like a less cumbersome Dickens. “The Woman in White’ is a great read too.
