"For Now," Iseult said quietly, "let's worry about getting into the city unseen--and let's pray, too, that the Bloodwitch didn't actually smell your blood." Or your magic.

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!
I'm very struck by the quote from 'A Cold War' - are you enjoying it? And I also hope you're enjoying 'Truthwitch' - I thought it was a blast, full on and great fun. And I liked the fact that main relationship was between the two girls. This is my offering today...

We sure are! We are on a roll!
DeleteTruthwitch is everywhere. I definitely have it on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine for this week: Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes.
The only one of these that I've heard of is Truthwitch which is on my TBR mountain. Nice variety of teasers.
ReplyDeleteMy YA teaser this week comes from Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan. Look for my review on Thursday. Happy reading!
SOME KIND OF COURAGE just came out. It is a children's book but very, very good! We both loved it. It is a tear jerker though, I cried, yelled and screamed when I read the very sad part, but it ends happy.
DeleteY'all chose some great teasers! The one from Baby Please Don't Go was the most appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE.
Yes, we certainly did get a lot of books this week! Gerard is enjoying COLD WAR very much and we both loved SOME KIND OF COURAGE.
