TUESDAY TEASER

Tuesday Teaser, hosted by The Purple Booker invites readers to post a few random lines from your current read in hopes of “teasing” others to add it to their TBR list.

My Tuesday Teaser for Tuesday, May 19th is from Susan Vreeland’s Lisette’s List:

“One morning Pascal thudded down his coffee bowl and pushed himself upright. ‘I’m going to the ochre quarries. The colors glow at this hour’

‘No Papa. The cliffs are too dangerous.’

‘Don’t tell me what to do. And don’t follow me.’

I burst out crying.”

This novel is one of seven novels Susan Vreeland wrote in her lifetime, each focused around some aspect of art. I plan to read aloe them.  This is the fourth I’ve read.

If you would like to leave a “tease” for this blog’s readers, please enter it in the Reply section. Be sure to mention title of book and author. No spoilers, please.

This year (2019) finds me with 50 plus years of teaching "under my belt." I have taught all levels from pre-K "(library lady" or "book lady"--volunteer) to juniors, seniors, and graduate students enrolled in my Advanced Writing class at the university where I have just completed 30 years. My first paying teaching job was junior high, and I spent 13 years with ages 12-13, the "difficult years." I had some of the "funnest" experiences with this age group. When I was no longer the "young, fun teacher," I taught in an elementary school setting before sixth graders went on to junior high, teaching language arts blocs, an assignment that was a "dream-fit" for me. After completing graduate school in my 40s, I went on to community college, then university teaching. Just as teaching is "in my blood," so is a passion for reading, writing, libraries, and everything bookish. This blog will be open to anyone who loves books, promotes literacy and wants to "come out and play."
