Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme where "players" post a couple of sentences from their current read (avoiding spoilers) to give "spectators" a view of what could be in store if they'd pick up the book to read too.
My tease this week comes from
The Sign for Drowning by Rachel Stolzman. This little tease comes from a scene where the protagonist, Anna, finds out that her adoption of five-year-old (now six years old) Adrea, who is deaf, has been made official, as marked by the delivery of an adoption certificate:
"She was perched forward on my lap, hands flat on the kitchen table, twisted around to watch me. Then she examined the document again. When she finished, she leaned back against my chest, smiling. She pulled my arms around her, and raising my hands, made them clap together," (pp. 29-30).
This little vignette made me smile... I could just picture it. So beautiful. This whole book has been simultaneously beautiful and sad to read so far (at a little less than half-way through).

Greetings. I'm working on BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciation Week) and your blog, What Was I Reading, has been nominated for an award. More information will be forthcoming, but please send me your e-mail address as soon as possible (within the next 24 hours at the latest). My e-mail is skrishna [at] skrishnasbooks [dot] com. Thanks!
Congratulations on the BBAW nomination.
@Michael (and whomever might have nominated me)... Thanks a TON! (It's completely appreciate [and undeserved], but really awesome too. I'm like one of those Oscar nominees who say, "It was a pleasure just being nominated," and mean it.)
