“You grow up saying knowing things the way your mother does. It doesn’t matter what you know or don’t know. Or if your mother spends her whole existence telling lies and you’re just reproducing them.
Always lend ineffable confidence to the gladiator, Bylaw 29.”

The idea of turning into my mother scares me a lot! Interesting teaser!
I have two teasers this week.
Good teaser. I'll have to stop back and read your review.
Looks like a good book--great teaser!

Someone had a tease about this book last week also. Both have me intrigued, I must add to my TBR list.

Teaser Tuesdays: Selected Poems of Carl Sandburg
That tease makes me glad I like my mother. My teaser is up here.
I really want to read this book!! Great teaser-- looking forward to you review. :)
interesting teaser--I'm not sure what the book is about but I do remember the day I heard my mother's words come out of my mouth when I was scolding one of my children *hehe*
If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
Good teaser. Definitely makes me curious about the book.
Wow, this is an example of a REALLY good teaser. I definitely feel like a lot of people in the world mimmick their parents unwittingly end up regurgitating the lies their parents once told. Very interesting!
Here's my teaser, from Hilary Mantel's WOLF HALL.
Wonder what her mother is really lieing about? Must be some bad stuff.
I have my teaser up if you would like to stop by...
