Teaser Tuesday: Soulless
Just grab your current read, open to a random page, and share a few "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

“"Ivy, my dear," said Miss Tarabotti as her friend bustled up, "how marvelous of you to find time to walk at such short notice! What a hideous bonnet. I do hope you did not pay too much for it."
"Alexia! How perfectly horrid of you to criticize my hat. Why would I not be able to walk this morning? You know I never have anything better to do on Thursdays. Thursdays are so tiresome, don't you find?" replied Miss Hisselpenny.
from chapter 2 of Soulless by Gail Carriger
I haven't giggled my way through a book in such a long time. The humour is of the "disastrously polite" variety, layered with bucketloads of sarcasm. Side characters are incredibly enjoyable, as is the deliciously described world and intriguing mystery in the plot. I do adore friends that are comfortable enough with each other to bluntly declare their true opinions lol

Eep, I keep seeing this book everywhere! I need to get to the library like right now. Or maybe tomorrow when they're open. Enjoy!
Great teaser. Really shows character.
I really need to read this book. I've seen it so many places and heard good things about it.
I've read many positive reviews from that book. My teaser is from the first Nancy Drew mystery.
your book looks like a bit of fun - great teaser.
mine is also tongue in cheek http://livemorenow.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/teaser-tuesday-the-adventures-of-alianore-audley/
Thursdays can be tiresome, but then again so can Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!
My teaser is here this week.
this book is in my TBR list for why..it's just my hand couldt reach it, yet *LOL*
I kinda wish we still talked like this. At least it would always seem intelligent. Here's Mine.
Mondays are the tiresome day, imo. Nice cover! Here's my teaser and giveaway
I'm glad you like it! I loved it! Poor Miss Hisselpenny and her atrocious hats.
Mine is here.
I agree with Lori =) I love the way they spoke back then...I kinda, sorta wish we still spoke that way too!
Here are our teasers for this week :)

This teaser made me laugh. Such polite, yet blatant, nastiness!

Boy, she sounds rather straight forward. But, if a good friend can't tell you how aweful a bonnet looks, who can? This is a great teaser. I have read many good reviews on this book. Looking forward to your thoughts.
