Teaser Tuesdays #15 - Chocolat by Joanne Harris

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should be Reading.
***
Chocolat
Today, I'm continuing a book I started for the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon: Chocolat by Joanne Harris. I must say, casting Juliette Binoche in this book is brilliant, she fits the role perfectly!
"It melts ever so slightly on your tongue and tortures you with pleasure."
One line is enough to express so much - also, I can't open my book just now, so I only quoted what I recall reading earlier.
I hope you all have reading left over from the Read-A-Thon; You will find some good recommendations from my Readathon reading this week, and also Reviews of Maze Runner and Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings.
Pin It!

    Yes, I DO have lots of books that I didn't finish during the readathon .. next time, I will be better prepared!

    The Maze Runner and The Way of Kings are both near the very top of my wishlist, so I must run off to see your reviews!

  16. I don't recall EVER saying this about a novel before, but I loved the movie so much, I've been afraid to read the book. However, after this teaser, I've decided to reconsider. :)

  20. I must be about the only person on the planet, who has not read this book, or seen the film.

    Your teaser was so great that I guess it just about sums the whole plot up, so I don't need to read it now.

    You just have no idea of the quantity of books I have in my 'To Be Read' pile, that I need to get through.

    Iwill never live long enough to finish them all, if I read one every day, and that just is not possible.

    I do have a life outside of books, well just about!

  21. One sentence instead of two! Awesome--it does say a lot all on its own. Great teaser!

  22. Hey there fellow read-a-thoner! I wish I'd gotten around to visiting more people that day, it all kind of went by in a blur!

    Great teaser, I definitely have a chocolate craving now!

    My teaser is here if you'd like to drop by.
