Gerard's:

"You're stronger than you think you are, V," he said afterward, when they lay quietly in each other's arms.
"I'm not," she whispered too quietly for him to hear.

Karen's:

If I had told him the truth long ago, or had danced and drunk and sung more, maybe he would have seen me instead of a dependable, ordinary mother. He loves a version of me that is incomplete.  

From page 4 of The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.

He's only in middle school.  He got into a fight and they took him right to court and put them in Jail.  They can't do that, can they?

From page 25 of Corrupted by Lisa Scottoline. 

It's estimated that Harry Potter's scar was applied more than five thousand times:  two thousand times on Daniel Radcliffe, and 3,800 times on his stunt doubles.

"The Short Drop" by Matthew Fitzsimmons is Blah

The Short Drop by Matthew Fitzsimmons is about a missing 14-yr.-old girl.  A decade later, the case is still unsolved.  Her father is running for President.  Gibson Vaughn is called in to help solve the case.  I found this novel to be blah.  Could not get into the characters at all although I tried.  I plowed through to an okay ending.

"A Thousand Pieces of You" by Claudia Gray

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray is about a young girl named Marguerite, a daughter of two brilliant parents.  Her mom's latest invention is called "Firebird" which enables one to travel into alternate dimensions.  When her dad is killed, she goes after the killer and the chase is on.

This book was pretty good.  I loved how I never knew where they would wind up.  There is good action and a few twists that surprised me with a good ending.

"The Christmas List" by Richard Paul Evans

The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans is a contemporary Scrooge story.  A real estate mogul who is focused on making money at any cost regardless of who he hurts, is mistakenly reported to have died in an auto accident.  He then finds out what people really think of him when reading the comments to the news article online.  He decides to try to change and starts by contacting people he has hurt to apologize and try to make things right.  He realizes that the ones he hurt most were his wife and son and seeks to reconcile with them before it's too late. 

This quick read is heartwarming and thought provoking.  This book makes you take a look at life and make the most of the time we have.  I liked seeing how he changed for the better and seriously tried to make up for hurting people.

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.
