Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To play along just do the following:
The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson.
“But those are two teasers from the very beginning of the book (don’t you dare spoil the cliffhanger)”, you’ll say. “I know!”, I’ll say. “Why?”, you’ll ask. “Because that’s about as far as the preview will let me and my book hasn’t arrived yet”, I’ll reply. And because you don’t want to hear me whining about the unfairness of not living somewhere where books like this are just sitting on a shelf waiting to be picked up as soon as they are published, we’ll have to make do with what we have. But rest assured that this book will be in my possession soon and then I’ll maybe come up for air after I’ve solved the ending of the previous book. I must say that I really appreciate that the publisher maintained the original design even though the series changed publishing homes. I’ll also say that I quite like the US design, but I started this in the UK and I’m stubborn enough to have this series matching. The other idea was that the UK version would be out five days before the US but this meant absolutely nothing because forces are conspiring against me. I just hope that the cliffhanger won’t be that bad and that the next book won’t take quite as long to publish. Health and such permitting.
Plans are made to be thrown out the window ... which bookish plan did you recently (have to) abandon? Let’s hear from you in the comments.
To 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 Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson.

“I agree completely, dear sister. It’s decided, then. You’re coming with us. We have far better books.”
— Prologue
I saw it coming, like a big, flat wave off the shoreline, a wall of water about to crash down and take me away forever. I was not going to let that happen.
— Chapter 1

I reeeaallly like that first teaser! I would follow anyone anywhere if they promised me more books, which maybe I shouldn't be admitting on the internet... I hadn't heard of this book yet but you have definitely made me curious, so consider me well-teased! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great week!

Far better books? Oh I'm SO there! I believe I have the first two in the series bouncing around my tablet. Now I'm definitely going to have to read them sooner than later!
