"Steal the North" by Heather Brittain Bergstrom is Really Good!

Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom is about a young girl who was sent away for the summer to her aunt.  What a REALLY GREAT BOOK!  I enjoyed it a lot!  It is told by the different characters throughout the book.  Loved the ending too.  Would make a good lifetime movie!

Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston

Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston is about a young teen boy named Justin who has been missing for four years.  One day he is found in a town not too far away, but that is just the beginning!  Justin returns home and finds that his dad, mom and younger brother are not the same, and he is not either.

Great play between the family members makes this book rock and they all have their own secrets that they are not telling!  I got into this one quickly with the great writing.  I really enjoyed it and now this is my new book of the month so far for May.

Tuesday Teasers: 4 This Week

Gerard's:

You're going to hate me, Emmy."  Finally she looked straight at me but remained standing.  "I mean really hate me before tonight is over with."

From page 6 of Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom.

He thought her voice would drip with grief, and despite his earlier resolve, he didn't want to hear her just then.  What Eric would remember for the rest of his life was how he almost didn't answer.

From page 17 of Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston.  

Karen's:

"Say no more."  He turned away from her.  "I promise I'll clothe myself, if you promise not to scare the children again." 

From page 46 of The Preacher's Bride by Jody Hedlund.

"Now I think I have some idea of why you do it.  I always wondered how you could keep it up.  You know, after awhile I figured you'd get tired of it." 

From p. 155 (Loc. 1980) Welcome to Fred by Brad Whittington

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 (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
• 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.   

Happy Reading!

"Mercy Snow" by Tiffany Baker

Mercy Snow by Tiffany Baker starts of with a bus accident carrying a group of kids.  Someone caused the accident and two women will do everything in their power to see that the truth of it does not come out!  This is an enjoyable  page turner for sure.  I loved all the characters.

"Tease" by Amanda Maciel: Two Opposite Opinions Here

Tease by Amanda Maciel is based on a true story and deals with bullying.  Two girls bullied another girl who killed herself.  The twist in this book is that it is told by one of the girls who did the bullying.  I thought that was a novel concept.  I really loved this book a lot!  I got into it from the first page and was always anxious to get back to it.  The characters are very believable and true to life.  The writing was very good as well.  So far, this is my book of the month for May.

I started reading Tease but didn't like it enough to finish it.  To me, the main character wasn't very likeable and I didn't care for all the swearing in it either.  It also kept jumping from the present to the past, back and forth which I found distracting and annoying.  Maybe it would appeal to a teen, but it didn't appeal to me.
