Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:
--Grab your current read
--Let the book open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
--You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from… that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
A book "that doesn't belong to me" is such a big deal because it weighs in at twelve pounds, is nearly 400 pages, and was published in 1630!
Whenever I would close the Kreuterbuch and push its covers tight, there was an exhalation, a settling, before I affixed the clasps. Of course I would return it, I reassured myself. But in the meantime, I kept a book that did not belong to me and tried not to think about what that made me.

This was an interesting book. I remember those sentences well. Great teaser!
Heard so many great things about this book. How are you liking it? Or maybe it's too early to tell.
