Teaser Tuesday--4 This Week

Gerard's:

So many eyes, too many eyes, pressed on me, witnesses to every crime I'd committed, every humiliation--

From page 41 of A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas.

From page 25 of The Dog That Whispered by Jim Kraus.


Karen's:

From page 10 of Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen.

Against his father's wishes, Hans had joined the Hitler Youth movement when he was fourteen.  His father, Robert, was opposed to Germany's new leader, Adolf Hitler, and his National Socialist, or Nazi, political party.  "Don't believe them," he warned his children.

 From page 1 of We Will Not Be Silent--The White Rose Student Resistance Movement that Defied Adolf Hitler by Russell Freedman.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading. 

Happy Reading!
