Teaser Tuesday

Gerard's:

He wasn't sure what was coming, or when, only that it would arrive and that it was essential he be ready to meet it.  It might be bad or good.

From page 14 of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo .


He could have gotten away with it, slipping into another dimension beyond the reach of the law:  the perfect crime.  He vanished from his dorm room without a trace, leaving his door locked from the inside.

From page 10 of A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray.

Karen's:

While the photograph was the same, the headline could not have been more different.  Not many people get to read their own obituary.

From page 3 of Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans. 

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!

"Six of Crows" by Leigh Bardugo

In Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Kaz Brekker is offered a chance to make money that even for him would be beyond his wildest dreams. To claim the money, he must free a man from a prison that is impossible to escape from. He needs to find a crew of people to help him. The problem is they do not really trust each other. Will the promise of money keep them together? Will they pull it off?

I enjoyed this book a lot! There is lots of action and you did not know what was coming next.

"Twice Blessed--Two Amish Christmas Stories by Barbara Cameron

Twice Blessed—Two Amish Christmas Stories by Barbara Cameron is actually two novellas about two pair of 23-yr-old Amish twins: (1) Rosie and Katie and (2) Ben and Mark. Rosie and Katie are used to doing everything together but have very different personalities. Both want to find a good man to marry. This story line was a happy little romance that was predictable.

The men are both in love with the same woman, Ruth. Mark and Ruth are engaged, but Ben is jealous. Ruth secretly loves Ben more. When Mark and Ben get in an accident, Mark is in a coma for over a week while Ben just lets Ruth, the nurses and the doctor think he’s actually Mark. This story had a bit of a unique spin to it so I enjoyed it more.  It even has some recipes in the back of the book of foods mentioned in the stories.

"The Life We Bury" by Allen Eskens

The Life We Bury by Allen Eskins centers on Joe Talbert, a college student, who has an English class assignment.  This leads him to a man called Carl Iverson, in a nursing home, whose past is just the thing Joe is looking for.  I thought this book was pretty good.  Joe was a very good character and the other characters were well brought out too.  The only bad part of this book is I thought it was too predictable.

"438 Days" by Jonathan Franklin--Really Good True Story!

438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is a true story which makes it all the much better!   A pair of fishermen left the coast of Mexico for a weekend trip.  Soon they were lost adrift in the Pacific.  What a fantastic read this is!  Salvador Alvarenga is a person you will not soon forget.  The first few pages tell you about the kind of man he is, but when the story turns to the boat ride, it is really good!  Give it a shot, you will be glad you did!
