Tuesday Teasers: "Between the Lines"-"Unspeakable"


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.   
Gerard's:
"You may be real, but you're still stuck in a book."
"That's why I need you're help."
From page 57 of Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer  (Gerard's review was posted yesterday)


Karen's:
Her skin had looked soft and smooth, a striking contrast to his hairy chest and legs. He had felt like a gorilla hulking over a butterfly.
From page 259 of Unspeakable by Sandra Brown. (This book has romance, action and suspense so was hard to choose a teaser--I went with the romance one.) My review of it should be posted tomorrow nigh.

"Between The Lines" by Jodi Picoult/Samantha Van Leer

Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer is a fun fantasy read. Did you ever read a book and think to yourself "I wish that character was a real person I could talk to"? Sure you have. Well, in this book a young teen girl reads a children's fairy tale book and falls hard for the young prince. Together they hatch a plan to meet! Yes, I said together. How is that possible? You will have to read the book to find out. I got into this right away and especially liked the conversations between the girl and the prince. I enjoyed this one very much!

"Kill Decision" by Daniel Suarez

Unmarked drones are attacking America, causing many deaths and havoc to take place.  This leads to an unlikely alliance between Odin, a special force Sargent and a woman who studies warrior ants--I kid you not!  This book isn't as good as his first, Daemon, which I loved, but did keep me interested all the way with good twists and turns.  I recommend i!

"Unlocked" by Karen Kingsbury is Inspirational Christian Fiction

Great Christian Fiction--Favorite read for July!
Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury is an inspirational and heartwarming read that I truly enjoyed!  It's a love story about an Autistic high school boy, Holden, with a kind heart and a high school girl who is kind to him and notices his interest in music.  I especially liked Holden's prayers and the faith He has.  He became Autistic (quirky and uncommunicative) when he was three years old and his parents feel as though they lost the real Holden and want him back! 

This book deals with bullying, suicide, friendship and family struggles.  This is Christian fiction at its best, showing how Christians can make a difference! I highly recommend this one to teens and parents.

"Some Kind of Fairy Tale" by Graham Joyce

I loved Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce! Tara has been missing for 20 year; then on Christmas morning, she shows up at her parents house. When she tells her story about where she has been, her parents and brother don't buy it. Her old boyfriend, who everyone figured did her in 20 years ago, is thrilled she still has feelings for him. When she goes for counseling at her brother's request, we get some answers . . . or do we? Is this girl really Tara or an imposter? Great writing, good page-turner. (Gerard's review, rating: 5 plus stars)
