- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from - that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
In retrospect, Burne-Jones did not cover himself with glory. He told Ruskin’s lawyers that ‘scarcely any body regards Whistler as a serious person’, that Whistler’s art was founded on ‘the art of brag’, and that Whistler rarely ‘committed himself to the peril of completing anything’.
From A Circle of Sisters by Judith Flanders, p. 154.

Tuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts
Mmm...it makes you wonder what the prerequisites for being considered a 'serious person' actually are. Great teaser!
Check out mine here.
There's quite a lot going on in that teaser. Nice one! Here's mine.
This sounds really intriguing. No teaser for me this week, as I'm still feeling icky.
