Tuesday Teasers: Two Today (Updated)

Karen's:

"We don't expect people to care."  He flopped down on his back, lying diagonally across his mattress with his arms crossed over his chest.  "Jacob actually cares about us.  Us!"

From page 115 of Confessions-The Private School Murders by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.

Gerard's:

She had never achieved my fame. The Perfect Killer--there's not a person in London who doesn't know and fear that name nowadays.

From page 4 of Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell (age 17).

(Had to do this at the library-no computer yet.)

 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.   

Happy Reading!

"Black Chalk" by Christopher J. Yates

Black Chalk by Christopher J. Yates deals with six young college students.  They play a game where the challenges get more and more daring.  There can be only one winner.  The parts of the book that deal with the game were very interesting and I was into it.  However, there was a lot of stuff that I could have done without.  This is more of a mind book than an action book.  The ending part was very good though.

"I Remember You" by Yrsa Sigurdardouir

In I Remember You by Yrsa Sigurdardouir you get two stories that are really good!  The first story is three friends go to a remote island to fix up a house.  The second story is about a detective who is haunted by his missing son.  This book goes back and forth between the two.  I really enjoyed it a lot!  It is a real page turner!

"Elusion" by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam is Very Good!

Imagine if you could escape to a land where you could just relax and enjoy fresh air and the beauty of nature.  That is what Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam gives you.   But is there trouble in paradise? 

I loved this book because the lead character is really good and the concept makes it hard to put down.  This is an enjoyable YA science fiction read--just great!

Tuesday Teasers: 3 This Week

Gerard's:

.I could Escape along with them if I wanted, but i haven't been to Elusion since late December.  Not even for a quick zip-trip, like these people are having.

From page 9 of Elusion by Claudia Gabel & Cheryl Klam. (teen Science fiction)

I couldn't hear bear the idea of him being gone.  Or even worse, of him suffering for years to come.  I didn't know what to say or what to do.  All I could do is cry.  Then he said something I'll never forget.

 From page 23 of The Priority List by David Menasche.  (See my review.)

Karen's:

"Why do you break my crunchy in half?"

 I heard his voice, his voice, Rufus's voice, as clearly as I have heard anything in my life--maybe clearer than most.

From page 54 of The Dog That Talked to God by Jim Kraus. (See Gerard's review)
