Tuesday Teasers: A Non-fiction and a YA

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should  Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! 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 TT participants can  add the book to their TBR  Lists  if they  like your teaser.   

Gerard's:

Instead, he took Mallory. With her daughter in his arms, he walked away, leaving her kneeling in the now-defunct daimon circle, hoping that she hadn't entered into a bargain worse than the one she was escaping.

From page 4 of Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr. (YA) (See my review tomorrow)

Karen's:

"I was a slacker, too. If there's one thing I want to do this year, it's try to reach the kids who remind me of me and wake them up so they don't make the same mistakes I did."

From page 31 of I'd Like to Apologize To Every Teacher I Ever Had--My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High by Tony Danza. (Non-fiction)

Happy Reading!
