Tuesday Teasers: Historical Fiction and a Memoir

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 (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
• 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.   

Gerard's:

They shaved her head. She was a beautiful little girl and they shaved her head! Who could do that?!

From page 3 of To Sing Frogs, A memoir by John M. Simmons. (A true story about family, friends, life, and other things that don't make sense) My review will post on Wednesday.

Karen's:

Fresh air, sunshine, a purring kitten, and flowers to plant. Jane smiled as she realized she was following Miss Dawson's example. Listing thankfuls.

From page 164 of The Key on The Quilt--The Quilt Chronicles by Stephanie Grace Whitson. (Historical fiction)  My review should be up Thursday.

"Alex Cross, Run" by James Patterson

Don't let the size scare you off--this was LARGE print.

In Alex Cross, Run by James Patterson, there are a lot of dead bodies in Washington. It's up to Alex Cross to find their killer, or is it killers, and bring them to justice. What he doesn't know is that one man is out there that is after him and will do anything to get his revenge. I liked Alex Cross, Run because it moved right along with a good surprise ending.
(Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Purry Logic" by Jane Seabrook Would Be a Hit With Cat Lovers

Purry Logic by Jane Seabrook is a delightful amusing little book that any cat lover would enjoy!  Each page has a close up a different breed of cat along with a cute quote.  In the back she lists all the breeds pictured.  It is a very quick read, like five minutes.  This is the 5th book I have in my Furry Logic collection!

"The Burning Air" by Erin Kelly

The Burning Air by Erin Kelly tells the story of a young boy who when he gets turned down to enter a private school, holds a grudge against the family who runs it. The first 75 pages set the background and then the two plots kick in. Why two? You will find out when you read it. The last 100 pages or so are absolutely gripping! This is Erin Kelly's third book and in my mind, she is 3 for 3.

Other books we read by her:
The Dark Rose
The Poison Tree

Gerard's:

It was a lapse of judgment. If I could have foreseen the rippling aftershocks that followed I would have acted differently, but by the time I realized the extent of the consequences, it was too late.

From page 4 of The Burning Air by Erin Kelly.

Karen's:

Everybody is going to think I'm . . . Normal. My ability is what makes me halfway cool. I'm nobody without it.
