Teaser Tuesdays 11/9







Teaser Tuesdays 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!
My entry for this week is from the new biography Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff ~


"Antony replied to Cleopatra's greeting with a dinner invitation. What happened next was revealing of both parties and the kind of behavior Cicero had deplored in each."

I bought this at Costco this morning on an impulse! I normally don't read non-fiction (perhaps from so many years in school reading heavy textbooks) but I couldn't pass this up! I don't know much about Cleopatra but I've always found her fascinating and I've heard a lot of good things about this book.

I'm always a slow reader with non-fiction, so it may take me awhile to get through it but I'm looking forward to it!
