Teaser Tuesday
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB ofShould Be Reading. Anyone can play along! 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My teasers:
"Finally standing on her legs after so long without using them,Helen felt a bit unsteady.Her vision was reeling,and she rested against Lucas for a moment,her arms wrapped around his neck."
~Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini,Location 2359 on kindle
"Please just go away,Lucas,"she begged."You just helped me,and I'm really grateful.But I still really,really want to kill you"
~Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini,Location 639 on kindle
As you can see there were no page numbers on my kindle so I've written down the location.These teasers are from the uncorrected version of the novel.Changes can be made in text and grammar.
TOP 10 TUESDAY:
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish.
So in no particular order.There will be spoilers!!!!
- When Jane and Mr.Rochester meet in the end of Jane Eyre.I swear I almost cried(Jane Eyre)
- When Peeta says I love you to Katniss in his peculiar and romantic way.(The Hunger Games)
- When Puck says “I wouldn’t defy Oberon for just anyone. But, for you…” He leaned forward, touching his forehead to mine. “I’d come back from the dead for you." to Meghan.I died seriously and I'm not even Team Puck.(The Iron Daughter)
- When Jace kisses Clary in the Seelie Court.I could literally feel his anguish and I felt for him.(City of Ashes)
- When Edward comes back with Bella from Volterra and tells her he loves her.I believe the exact words to be "You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy".Yes, the line's lame but still....(New moon)
- When Jack thanks Saba for saving his life(on a whim) with a kiss.The surprise on her face would have been priceless.(Blood Red Road)
- When Cal tells Sophie that he said yes because he thought she was fun and he thought he already knew her because her dad kept on talking about her.(Demonglass)
- The way Max acts around Fang once she starts developing feelings for him(Maximum Ride series)
- When Ron and Hermione finally kiss!!!!! (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and The jealousy between Hermione and Ron in Half Blood Prince was so cute !
- When Chloe says "You were just worried about me" An exhale, relieved that I had understood. "Yeah" I turned. "Because you think i'm worth it" He put his fingers under my chin. "I absolutely think your worth it" But you don't think you are" His mouth opened. Shut. "That's what this is about, Derek. You won't let us worry about you because you don't think you're worth it. But I do. I absolutely do"(The Reckoning)
OMG yessss I died when Puck said that too -- but I am totally Team Puck ;) And the Ron/Hermione kiss should be on EVERY list! That was like an OMG FINALLY moment :) I also thoroughly enjoyed that one chapter with Archer and Sophie in Demonglass ;)

ReplyDeleteI tweeked "awww" to be moments that give one pause. Here's my Top Ten "Awww" Moments. I hope you'll stop by and see what you think.
I loved that part in the Reckoning! I missed this week's Top Ten because I haven't been in my computer all day, and it was such a fun category!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really good teaser. Sincerely! I can't wait to read this book now!
ReplyDeleteI SO agree with you on 4 & 9! It was about time Ron & Hermione did it, and it couldn't have been more perfect.
