"Don't Put Me In, Coach" by Mark Titus

Mark was a walk-on player who played the whole four years at Ohio State.  He only got to play at the end of games if at all for those four years.  What he is though, is a very funny guy!  He gives the reader insights on behind the scene stuff that fans don't get to see.  I enjoyed this book a lot because it made me laugh!  Go Bucks!

"Twice" by Lisa Unger

Twice is another winner by Lisa Unger writing as Lisa Miscione! Two times a woman's husband is killed in the same bed the woman is also sleeping in, and she claims she did not do it! There are lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested. It took me two days to read and well worth your while!
(Gerard's review)

Twice by Lisa Unger a/k/a Lisa Miscione is a complex murder mystery and a thriller all in one.  It takes place in New York City, both above and below ground, and in a little town called “Haunted.”  There are basically two plots going on at the same time in this book.  One is about Lydia, a private eye, who is being stalked by her mother’s killer and Jeff, her partner who tries to protect her.  The other is the murder investigation of Julian Ross’s first and second husbands who were both killed while in bed next to her.  This is a chilling read involving insanity, murder, family curses and fugitives.  If you like wild stories, this is a good one!

Tuesday Teaser: "Twice"; "Invention of Hugo Cabret"

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
• 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.   

Karen's:

Every generation, every woman thinks that she will be the one to escape it. Every time, she's wrong. I need you to find out what's happening to our family . . . and stop it.

From page 89 of Twice by Lisa Unger writing as Lisa Miscione

Gerard's:

"We wound it up and the machine drew a picture, and then we found out everything. . . ."
     Her grandfather smiled. "Not everything, I'm sure."

From page 393 of The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

"Threats" by Amelia Gray

Threats by Amelia Gray is a bizarre book!  David's wife is dead.  As he goes about his life at home, he finds threats on paper.  From who?  I read this whole book and I still don't know!  I also don't know what the author was trying to get across.  If you read this book and can figure it out, please tell me.  I would like to know!
