Teaser Tuesday

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!

The Phanton slowly, gravely, silently approached.  When it came near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee; for in the very air through which the Spirit move it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery.
               ~ pg. 67, A Christmas Carol, The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth, by Charles Dickens

Hi!
This is on my TBR list. I'll have to move it up to read it before Christmas. Have a great day!

Ah, an excellent teaser. Tis the holiday season.

I'm doing the teaser hop... no one has stopped by my blog yet so I pulled out my best walking gown and lovely gold slippers to stroll along the path to knock on some blog doors and stop for a chat and spot of tea.

I really like your teaser :)

I have a now have an Igor working for me at Mad Steampunkery & Book Reviews, & I currently have a giveaway that will end on the 10th.

Until I got to Scrooge, I thought it was going to be a dark, paranormal like I might read around Halloween.

My teaser is here.
