Teaser Tuesday: 3 For You

Since MizB over at Should be Reading is taking a break for the holidays and not posting the teaser meme, feel free to leave your link to your teaser post in the comments here.

Gerard's:
  
Sometimes I think of my life as two train cars hitched together at the moment of my mom's disappearance--but when I try to see how they connect there's a jarring on the track that jerks my head back around.  I know that I used to be a girl whose hair was strawberry blond, who ran around like a wild thing while my mother took endless notes about the elephants.

From page 26 of Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult.

Karen's: 

Right or wrong, rash or not, she was married now.  She’d just have to make the best of her new situation.  And hope that she hadn’t made the worst mistake of her life.

Pg. 57 from Love Unexpected by Jody Hedlund. (Click link to see my review.)

They'd been adrift for twenty-seven days and had floated at least one thousand miles.  The rafts were turning to jelly.  The men's bodies were pocked with salt sores, their burned lips so swollen they pressed into their nostrils and chins.

From Loc. 99 (Introduction) on Kindle from Unbroken (The Young Adult Abridged version) by Laura Hillenbrand.


Happy Reading!
