Teaser Tuesday (4)

  • Today will yet be another special Teaser Tuesday because there will be 2 Teasers! :)

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!


So here is my teaser:

I stood there, helpless to look away as he leaned in closer. He tightened his grip on my jaw and whispered hoarsely,"Do you really need a wretch like me to tell you that you're dying?"

The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff p.71

So far I'm enjoying this book, I especially like that the entire book is told from a guy's PoV

And now for the second Teaser it's not from me but I think it will get you even more excited for a particular book *cough*Forever*cough* I was on Maggie Stiefvater's live-journal this morning and holy crap I was surprised to see the video in which Maggie is reading the first 2 pages of Forever and holy cow I'm now even more excited for this book (I looooved Shiver and Linger!) so what are you still doing here hop over to her live-journal and watch the Teaser! Here's the link: http://m-stiefvater.livejournal.com/
Have fun :)

Teaser Tuesday (3)/Waiting on WednesdayTT


I know I'm a little late for my Teaser Tuesday (school was crazy and I had my nose stuck in City of Bones which I finished yesterday wuhu!) but here it is:

Today I want to share a Teaser from the book The Dark Divine by Bree Despain. I've read a lot of good but also a lot of not so nice comments about this book and can't wait to read it (so this Teaser is also a teaser for me xD) because the cover looks just A-Mazing and the story sounds good to me well we'll see how it turns out. :)


"" " No, he hasn't. He's lost and frightened and he needs us. I can help him be a hero." I hadn't thought it before I said it. But I realized that's what I had to do-that was my role in all of this.""

The Dark Divine p.220


And now my first WoW post ever (but definitely not the last, because there are so many books that I'm waiting for!)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

So this week I'm waiting for Elemental Reality by Cesya MaRae Cuono. There's not much info about the book except this little synopsis I found on goodreads:

Drastic changes in Callie's life aren't unusual, but this time it's different. Now she's fighting to save her family while she adjusts to her new, supernatural reality. Life will never be the same. . . .

But just look at this gorgeous cover, it's stunning!

So this week I'm sharing a special Teaser. Why special you ask? Well I just started reading City of Bones (a really good friend of mine (a.k.a. Luke) read my post about the TMI movie and was shocked by the fact that I haven't read the series yet so he lend me his copy of City of Bones, thanks a lot Buddy :D) so the catch is: I'm reading the German version so I'm gonna post the Teaser first in German and then I will translate it as good as I can :) ENJOY!

"" "Mom?" " Oh Clary. Gott sei Dank." In Clarys Kopf schrillten alle Alarmglocken. Ihre Mutter klang panisch. "Clary, hör mir jetzt gut zu..."Mom, es ist alles in Ordnung. Mir geht's gut. Ich bin auf dem Weg nach Hause..." "NEIN!" Nackte Angst sprach aus Jocelyns heiserer Stimme."Komm nicht nach Hause. Hast du verstanden, Clary? Komm auf keinen Fall nach Hause. Geh zu Simon und bleib bei ihm, bis ich dich..." Ein Hintergrundgeräusch unterbrach sie,irgendetwas Schweres fiel zu Boden, zersprang dort mit einem lauten Klirren...""

"" "Mom?" "Oh Clary. Thank God." The Alarm rings went off in Clary's head. Her mother sounded as if she was panicking. "Clary, now listen to me carefully..." "Mom, everything is alright. I'm fine. I'm on my way home..." "NO!" Jocelyn's hoarse voice was thick with fear. "Do not come home. Did you understand Clary? Not matter what don't come home. Go to Simon and stay with him until I get ..." A noise in the background interrupted her, something heavy fell on the floor,burst there with a loud clank...""
p. 53 The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
