Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
* 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Meanwhile Catherine applied herself, energetically and unobtrusively, to the business of ruling and guarding England; no light responsibility, for no sooner was Henry well across the Channel than the Scots began to move. It was axiomatic that the Scots always attacked England whenever the English were busy in France, but Henry had a treaty with his brother-in-law, the King of Scots, was still a great believer in treaties, and was reluctant to put off his glorious conquest any longer.
Catherine of Aragon by Garrett Mattingly pg. 157

I really like this. I thought she was a figurehead but this gives me hope that she wasn’t. I really need to learn more history.
I did a fantasy book this week. Here’s my link:

I don’t know axiomatic means. I’m guessing this is historical? Anyway, nice teaser! Thanks for sharing.
