Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


Teasing this week is WAGs at the World Cup by Alison Kervin. I am fully aware the WC's over, in fact I made the decision to start reading this after the World Cup, I didn't want any WAGs involved in my footy time :D
Wags at the World Cup" 'Shall we go for a cheeky drink?'she says.'I'm a bit bored of driving. Let's get a cab back and I'll pick the car up in the morning.'
Lot's of booze and one cab ride later..." p.90
What's your teaser?

       ' I think so, but we don't want-'
Too late..." p.229
