Teaser Tuesday


Teaser Tuesdays 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


This week, I have two teasers! Double the fun :)

First, a few intriguing lines from Jamie McGuire's Eden (Providence #3):



"The priest brought in an extra chair, and he and Jared opened the book. Immediately the room turned cold, and I wrapped my arms around my middle. The Others knew we were here, and that we had the book."







And the other comes from Fire by Kristin Cashore:



"She watched him, crestfallen. He was so physical in his arguments. He loomed and gestured, his face went dark or burned with light. His eyes blazed. And he was just as physical with his love and his joy, and this was why they all fell in love with him, for in a world that was dismal he was alive and passionate, and his attentions, while they lasted, were intoxicating." 




Enjoy!!

Happy Reading Everyone :)

This week's teaser hails from Requiem by Jamie McGuire:





"Jared and Bex stood next to the bed with terror in their eyes. "She was at least four feet above the bed!" Bex said, his eyes wide. "Has that happened before?"






Enjoy!

Insurgent ~ **Release Tomorrow**

Sooo.. tomorrow is the much anticipated release of Veronica Roth's second book in her stellar series, Insurgent. I, along with many other obsessional readers, have been waiting an entire year for this book to be released, so if you're like me, and need a distraction from the anticipation, here's a few little items to quench the thirst.







Enjoy fellow bookaholics ;)

Happy Reading Everyone :)

I'm becoming a Jamie McGuire fan (I just posted a review of Beautiful Disaster - here), so I started reading another of her books, Providence. This is the first in a series, and I'm starting to see a trend as I seem to be getting less and less sleep with every page of McGuire's that I turn.

Here's my teaser:



"The attention turned to my hand. I balled it into a fist; I wouldn't give up my father's ring. Grahm seemed to notice my decision and they all took a step forward, preparing to take it from me. Four sets of malevolent eyes shifted in unison as a familiar voice growled from behind me."






Happy Reading Everyone :)

So for those of you who are 'on top of things' and are waiting with twitching fingers to get your hands on this much anticipated book, Cassandra Clare has so kindly revealed chapter one ::


Either this will hold you over or drive you over the edge ;)
Enjoy!
