Teaser Tuesdays (June 29)

June 29, 2010

teasertuesdays31 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!

My Teasers:

“He kissed me hard and quick. I felt a white-hot stab of pleasure when I tasted the blood that was still on our lips.”

~ p.180, “Marked” by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast

 


PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

  1. Not my type of book, but it’s got a great cover!

    Here’s Mine:
    http://www.readingatthebeach.com/2010/06/teaser-daybook_29.html

  2. I loved that series, although I am behind. Here’s mine.

  3. Not my kind of read, either!

    Here is my teaser for this week.

  4. I’ve heard so much about that series, but somehow I feel like it’s not something I’d be fond of reading.

    My teasers for this week are from The Rise of Renegade X by Chelsea Campbell and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. :)

  5. Mine this week is from An Iron Rose by Peter Temple. He won Australia’s premier literary award this week for another novel.

    He is an Australian crime writer.

    http://www.pageturnersbooks.org/2010/06/teaser-tuesday-iron-rose-by-peter.html

  6. Everywhere I turn, it’s vampires.

    Mine’s here.

  7. Looks like an intesting read. Vampires are so popular now. I wonder what Bram Stoker would think!

    Here’s mine: http://harrischanningauthor.blogspot.com/2010/06/today-im-sharing-teaser-from-patricia.html

  8. Mine’s from The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.

  9. This book is good! I have read all the books that are out of this series

    Here is my TT:

    http://midnightsapphiresbooks.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday_29.html

  10. Here’s my teaser for this week! Not what I would usually read, but interesting all the same.

    http://libertyfallsdown.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/teaser-tuesday-trucking-hell/

  11. Now that’s a tease. And I love the cover!

    My teaser’s at http://simplengkaligayahan.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesdays-june-29.html

  12. Now there is a teaser with some bite. Sorry I had to say it ;)

    Mine this week is from the novel “Bliss” by Australian Peter Carey

    http://melbooksnstuff.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday-29-june-bliss-by-peter.html

  13. Vampire book? I like those.

    Mine is here.

  14. Oh, I just started Burned which is the latest release in this series!

    My teaser comes from another YA series this week.

  15. Woo! Sounds spicy! (I haven’t read any of this series, but I know they’re super hot with the teenage girls at my library)

    My teaser is here.

    • You know, these are supposed to be for teen girls, but they’re kind of racy… I certainly won’t be letting my own daughter touch them ’til she’s at least 16!

      • I don’t remember YA reads being as spicy or racy when I was a teen (twenty-odd years ago). If I wanted racy stuff, I had to sneak one of my mother’s Danielle Steels!

  16. I read the first few in the House of Night series and then got bored. Maybe I should revisit them. My teaser is from ‘On Folly Beach’ by Karen White

    http://sheeryhall.blogspot.com/2010/06/on-folly-beach-teaser.html

  17. I read this one recently too! The books in this series have great covers. Creepy!

    My teaser is HERE.

  18. I thought Marked was a great book!

    Here’s my teaser:
    http://readintothis.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday-52.html

  19. Carly permalink

    Awesome teaser this week! I must get started on this series.

    Mine’s here: http://carlybennett.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesdays-radleys-matt-haig.html

  20. Awesome teaser this week – I must get started on this series soon!

    My teaser’s here: http://carlybennett.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesdays-radleys-matt-haig.html

  21. I’ve read that one, both liked it and loathed it at the same time.

    My teaser is from The Demon’s Lexicon.

  22. I know I’m a minority but not into the blood part :)

    My TT this week is a little more tame, from a scrumptious cosy mystery with the word ‘cookie’ in the title! http://www.bookloverbookreviews.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday_29.html

  23. Not my kind of book!

    Here’s my teaser for today:

    http://www.booksplease.org/2010/06/29/teaser-tuesday-13/

  24. I’m not sure if I would enjoy that series – I liked Twilight but this is a bit more hard-core so to speak…!

    Here is mine:
    http://bookreviews.me.uk/teaser-tuesday-29th-june/

  25. Not really my thing, but it does pull the reader in…

    Here’s mine:

    http://snowconnections.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/teaser-tuesdays-4/

  26. Not my really my cup of tea but great teaser choice.

    here’s mine: http://snowbelljewelry.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesday_29.html

  27. I haven’t read enough vampire books yet to know if I like them or not… I should probably do something about that. ;)

    My teaser: http://magika83.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesdays-2.html

  28. +JMJ+

  51. http://hopeseguin2010.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/teaser-tuesday-one-sentence/

    This novel may not be for everyone; Taylor has used real events to write a work of fiction that is mystifying and horrific and fascinating.

  52. i am not a big fan of this series anymore, but that is a great Teaser!

    Here is mine: http://sarah-myworldofbooks.blogspot.com/2010/06/teaser-tuesdays-629.html

  53. Like many others have said, I’ve been feeling ambivalent about checking this series out.

  54. Looks like many liked the series. I am on a paranormal break for now.
