It’s Teaser Time
 I’m reading Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. It’s a book of subtle humor and extremely fun to read. I will be reviewing it tomorrow as part of the Classics Circuit. Here are a few sentences from the book:
“My age!” said Miss Matty, almost speaking crossly, for her, for she was usually gentle– “My age! Why, how old do you think I am, that you talk about my age?”
Where am I? It’s 1850 and I’m in a very small village in England. I’m visiting with a group of women who run the social life of the town. They are a very proud group of women and, how they handle their daily affairs is interesting, funny and a little sad.
What are you reading this week?

i saw you were hosting Cranford for The Classics Circuit and I was so pleased – I’m sure it’s the sort of town you’d fit right in to. I’ll be back tomorrow for your review.
Oh, this looks like it is a movie too! I know it’s terrible, but I love saving the time of reading by watching the movie! (don’t tell anyone!) :–)
I’m planning to visit Cranford soon, glad to hear it’s an enjoyable place to visit.
You have intrigued me with this…

I’ve been seeing good things about Gaskell. Look forward to your review. And, no, you don’t have to tell us your age
I think I would like this one, nice teaser. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
I really want to read this book. Here is my teaser for this week.
Sounds like age is a bit of a touchy subject. Great teaser!
