Tuesday Intro/Teaser


First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


Wednesday, April 15, 1801
Snowe's Registry Office for Select Governesses
14 Cavendish Square
London

Nothing ruins a dinner party like expertise. A lady who has attended fourteen lectures about Chinese porcelain will Ming this and Tsing that all evening; a baron who has published an essay about vultures in a zoological magazine will undoubtedly hold forth on the unpleasant habits of carrion-eaters. Eugenia Snowe's area of expertise, on the other hand, would have made dinner guests howl with laughter, if only it were appropriate to share.

Seven Minutes in Heaven by Eloisa James

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker


"Never mind the impossibility of that; your request implies that I would trust you with another of my governesses," Eugenia countered. "You will have to seek your lion tamer elsewhere."


Happy Valentine's Day

Yep, I'd continue - if only to find out what her expertise was. Not vultures or porcelain obviously. LOL
