Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- 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 and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Teaser Tuesday #38
Call Me Mrs. Miracle – Debbie Macomber
This Christmas, Emily Merkle (call her Mrs. Miracle!) is working in the toy department at Finley’s, the last family-owned department store in New York City. And her boss is none other than Jake Finley, the owner’s son.
For Jake, holiday memories of brightly wrapped gifts, decorated trees and family were destroyed in a Christmas Eve tragedy years before. Now Christmas means just one thing to him and to his father. Profit. Because they need a Christmas miracle to keep the business afloat.
Holly Larson needs a miracle, too. She wants to give her eight-year-old nephew, Gabe, the holiday he deserves. Holly’s widowed brother is in the army and won’t be home for Christmas, but at least she can get Gabe that toy robot from Finley’s, the one gift he desperately wants. If she can figure out how to afford it.
Fortunately, it’s Mrs. Miracle to the rescue. Next to making children happy, she likes nothing better than helping others and that includes doing a bit of matchmaking!
This Christmas will be different. For all of them.

What’s your teaser today? Please share – it’s not as if a few more books on my TBR mountain will make that big of a difference 😉

Yeah, I thought it was a good one – it’s so very true. Thanks for stopping by, Kay.
I think this looks like a sweet read. I’ve only read one book by Debbie Macomber before … it was nice! My teaser is from You by Caroline Kepnes: http://writenotereviews.com/2014/11/11/teaser-tuesday-you-by-caroline-kepnes/
Very sweet, and very Christmasy 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Monique.
Haha! Too true! Great teaser!

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I know right? It was just perfect for a teaser.
Thanks for stopping by, Jessica.
Sounds like a happy Christmas read that I’m putting on my TBR! I usually like her books.
Definitely a happy Christmas read 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
*haha* That is funny and an accurate observation. 🙂 I’ve never read Macomber but I’ve heard lots of great things. Thanks for the tease, Lexxie!
*BIG HUGS*
This is my second book by her, and her stories always make me feel so good! Thanks for stopping by, my dear! *BIG HUGS*
Hahah, so true! Fun teaser 🙂 I haven’t read anything by Macomber, and this sounds like a fun Christmas read! Thanks for sharing, and hope you enjoy the rest of it!
There are even two stories in one book – both of them of the feel-good variety. I really enjoyed both of them. Thanks for stopping by, Alma.
I’ve heard my parents say that line before when I was growing up. It’s still very true. Good Teaser!
Mine is Hollow City by Ransom Riggs
Yep, it’s very true, and quite humorous, too. Thanks for stopping by, Laura.
Debbie Macomber’s stories are always good, and I’m sure this one is no exception. I’ve seen at least one of her Mrs. Miracle stories on TV and enjoyed it, so I’m sure I’d like this book too.
I didn’t know some of her stories have been transformed to TV movies, Sandra 🙂 Thanks for letting me know.
Macomber’s shows were either on the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime. I know her Cedar Cove Series has been on the Hallmark Channel.
What a fantastic Teaser you’ve chosen from this lovely sounding book. So true!
Yeah, it sure made me chuckle. Thanks for stopping by, Cleo.
I love Debbie Macomber and actually have this book! I’m going to move it to the top of my TBR pile now 🙂 Great teaser and so true! Here is mine: http://booklovingmommy.blogspot.com/2014/11/teaser-tuesday-nov-11-vision-of-fire-by.html
