Teasers & Top Tens – August 5, 2025

By Denise @ Life With No Plot on August 5, 2025 • ( 3 )

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. Here are the rules if you want to play along:

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!

This week’s teaser comes from The Conjurer by Luanne G. Smith.

At first she’d cursed the fairy king for returning her to this place of cold remorse, but his instinct proved correct. She was even glad the girl had been sent with her. Sitting above the rooftops, gazing over the village where she’d once been consumed with the happiness of a thousand dancing flames after marrying Hariq, she knew she’d been set on the good path again. Her only regret was not understanding earlier the fragility of love. How a heart was housed in brittle glass. So easily shattered.

These books are so good, even if I am accidentally reading them out of order. Oops.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a Genre Freebie, so I am choosing:

Ten Fantasy Books Featuring Dragons

Seems like an easy topic and dragons are definitely popular these days, despite being around for ages, although it was hard to narrow down in a lot of ways – how do I not just fill my list with Anne McCaffery books? Here are some of my favorites.
