Today's selection should be coming from People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, but when I arrived at page 258, the next page was #195 and then it repeated to page 258 and skipped pages 259-322. Oh. So. Frustrating. So until I find a replacement, today's selection comes from O Pioneers! by Willa Cather, page 202:
And yet, down under the frozen crusts, at the roots of the trees, the secret of life was still safe, warm as the blood in one's heart; and the spring would come again! Oh, it would come again!(That is especially for those of you who have yet to see a crocus or a daffodil!)
It's Tuesday, Where Are You? is hosted by an adventure in reading.
I'm on the plains of Nebraska in the early part of the 20th century.

terri, I have People of the Book on audio, if you just can't stand to wait. Let me know. I hate when that happens!
It is very annoying when that happens, espcially when it is an interesting book like People of the Book.
I thought maybe it was the same book as the teaser before yours, lol.
Hope you're enjoying this book! My TT is up.
That's such a shame because People of the Book is so very good. You can't go wrong with Cather though!
Here's my Teaser
That happened to me with another book, too. I still haven't finished it after then, as I bought it in a used bookstore and they had no replacement.
How were you liking People of the Book so far? How did you like The Thirteenth Tale? :D
I am enjoying all of the Spring-themed teasers!
And I was going to say that you could probably do a quick "search inside" on Amazon for the missing pages, but that seems to be the only one of her books that isn't searchable. How annoying!
My teaser is here.
love o pioneers, but how frustrating for you to have your book unreadable.
Ah, Spring!
Ruth: thanks for the offer - I don't think I can make the switch from reading to listening at this point though. I'll pop over to Powell's today and get a copy.
Claire: I was loving People of the Book and couldn't wait to see what the next episode was. I'm in the process of going round and round with B and N. (Note to self: Always buy local!) And I enjoyed The Thirteenth Tale quite a bit - nothing profound there, but a good read.
O Pioneers was wonderful!
Oh - I can't wait for Spring - we are just starting to see a few bulbs coming up. :)
Here's my Teaser about the lion and the lamb from Twilight! ~ Wendi
I just finished re-reading O Pioneers this month. Such oh joy to read that good Cather writing. I'm sorry about your bum book but I would love to have a chance to just pop over to Powells. Such a great book store.
I love the classics, such beautiful writing.
Sorry about the book, I can understand your frustration with it.
In any case, I love the teaser. Spring is definitely in the air and I could feel like when reading the teaser.

Wherever or however it comes, spring is always refreshing. Nice teaser choice.
What a lovely teaser and a teaser in more ways then one for the people that are to see signs of spring :)
Just to let you know I tagged you here in a fun photo meme.
