"She stuck her head out and took a deep breath. If she could eat the cold air, she would. She thought cold snaps were like cookies, like gingersnaps." -The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison AllenWhen I found a copy of this book for $1.00 in a vintage shop, I squealed and did a little dance. I just started it and already I am enchanted. Her writing is so descriptive and whimsical. *le sigh* Click here to see my review of my first Sarah Addison Allen read The Girl Who Chased the Moon.

ReplyDeletethis book sounds completley (sp?) dellightful! And how fun for you that you found it in a vintage store.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds delightful. Thanks for the late teaser, lol
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this story and loved the heroine! So charming . . . This is a good teaser for the book.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S why this author sounded so familiar! I never connected the two books...til now. Happy reading, Juju! ^_^
ReplyDeleteDon't know what the story's about but I loved the description in the teaser.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote, that's great! I have The Girl Who Chased the Moon, but I haven't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this book before, or the author. But your little teasers and that cute title make me interested! Are you going to post a review later?
ReplyDeleteI love that you got it for such a bargain-your teaser is good. I love the idea of gulping cold air bites-it's freezing cold here today.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical is good and for $1 you can't miss!
ReplyDeleteThat's always fun when you find something you've been wanting and for a great price, too! I like the fall leaves in the background. The cover is very pretty. I sometimes miss the seasons. However, when it's cold like it is now, in other parts of the world, I'm happy I'm in a warm spot! Nice teaser. And love the SO NOT Tuesday Teaser!!
ReplyDeleteHow great that you found it for $1 and are loving it!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read this - I have it sat on my shelf. I love the UK covers for her books - so pretty and sparkley!

I love serendipitous moments! This author is on my list to read -- I love anything whimsical. I can't think of anything bad about being a sugar Queen.
ReplyDeleteSCORE!! I've been wanting to read this author FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteooh, what a lovely quote! I haven't heard of this book before, but it sounds great! and now im craving cookies too! xD
ReplyDeleteI really love this author! I cant wait to read The Sugar Queen...but I think I need to go book shopping with you! I can never find deals like that...:D
ReplyDeleteI guess she realized she was wrong. I wonder what snaps are then.
ReplyDeleteMmm... Gingersnaps!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying the book so far. :)
Such a cute teaser! Cold snaps are a little like gingersnaps!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm jealous, what a great find! I really enjoyed this one, although Garden Spells is my favorite of the three she's written.
ReplyDeleteOops, guess she's written more than three. I didn't realize she had one coming out this year!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! It sounds very descriptive. I love that you got it for a dollar too--nothing beats that!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adored this book! It has the perfect amount of magic and a fantastic mix of characters. And I LOVE the Josey isn't the awkward, rail-thin, type of quirky heroine.
ReplyDeleteLove the teaser. Now I really want to read this!
ReplyDeleteLovely teaser! I really want to read this author. I've got The Girl Who Chased the Moon on my TBR list for this year.
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky duck! Snatching up a copy for a dollar! Wow! How I love Sarah's writing. Her new book, The Peach Keeper comes out in just a couple of months and I can hardly wait! It's definitely my most anticipated book of the year. Love it! Especially how she intertwines the food into her story telling, just luscious. I could eat my way through all of her books. Fabulous teaser!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm loving that quote! I definitely need to read her books, everything I hear about them convinces me I'll love them!
ReplyDeleteThat quote is perfect. I loved this book, too! I have trouble deciding which is my favorite, though...they're all so good!
ReplyDeleteI could totally understand wanting to breath the cold, crisp air. One of the few things I like about winter! :)
ReplyDeleteI recently read Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen and loved it! I need to read more of her stuff.
