Tuesday Teasers

Karen's:

Flames ate at my clothes and roared in my ears.  My skin was blistering hot, but it didn't burn.

From page 13 of Frost Blood by Elly Blake.

I sat beside her, holding her hand.  Silly as it sounded, I had slouched in my chair, certain that would make her come to and correct my posture.

From The Crown by Kiera Cass (Book 5 of The Selection series.)

Gerard's:

Zoe had the binoculars trained on Stan when he turned back toward the lake and saw it blazing in the darkness--and when he first noticed the figure shooting toward him, covering hundreds of feet in an instant.

Stan was terrified.

From page 38 of The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles.

An flips through the channels.  There will be tornadoes, floods, landslides, ash, fear, depravation, suffering, death.

From page 40 of Rules of the Game (Book 3 of Endgame) by James Frey & Johnson-Shelton.


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.   Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.  Happy Reading!

"Rules of the Game" by James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton (series)

Rules of the Game by James Frey and Nils Johnson-Shelton is the third and last book of "The Endgame" series.  I thought this one was the best of the three!  It is a non-stop thrill ride with action galore that kept me turning pages throughout the book!  I wish the ending could have been different, but that being said, I still give this book and this series 5 stars!  Glad I read it.

"The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss (1st Book in The Kingkiller Chronicle Series)

In The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, a man called Kvothe is telling his life story to a chronicler.  He has heard about Kvothe and wants to find out what is fact and what is fantasy.  This is the first of three books in this series.  This book covers his life until he is in his teens.  The stories in this book are really good!  It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I had to keep flipping pages.  Not sure if this book is for everyone, but I enjoyed it!  It lived up to the hype for me.

"The Crown" by Kiera Cass (5th Book of The Selection Series)

I loved The Crown by Kiera Cass, the fifth book in The Selection series because Eadlyn grows up quickly when her mother has a heart attack and shows both maturity and compassion for others, finally!  This was a really fun series and I was not disappointed at all in this last book!  She picked the one I thought she should and I loved how she became so caring about the feelings of the selected.  I do not want to spoil anything because if you are reading this series, you have to read this one too!

I should have dressed up to do these videos--thought of it too late!

"Windwitch" by Susan Dennard

Windwitch by Susan Dennard is the follow up to Truthwitch which I Loved!  Iseult is trying to reconnect with her sister, Safi.  There is plenty of good action in this book with surprise twists and turns.  I enjoyed the characters of Merik and Aepvan also.  Looks like a book 3 is next and I will be on it!
