Teaser Tuesdays--Four Today

Gerard's:

From page 9 of Creep by Jennifer Hillier.

 From page 49 of Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

From page 47 of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

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

Happy Reading!
