Teaser Tuesday: 8/23/11



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should 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!
    Yara's Teasers:


    OK today I will be posting a few teasers, Why you ask. Well I finished some good books before today and I think they deserve their own teaser today too. My teasers for today will be from Watched by Sharde Richardson, Everblue by Brenda Pandos, Frost by Marianna Baer and Sweetly by Jackson Pearce. That's right you counted four. Enjoy!

    "Fine." She let out a quick gust and straighten up. "When am I going to turn into a mermaid?"
    I blinked for a second, confused why she thought she'd spontaneously change. Then smiled, filled with relief. "You mean because we're promised?" I chuckled.

    "Off Highland Street?" the dean had said. "That's Frost House. A four-student dorm. Reserved for senior boys."
    "Boys?" I hadn't considered that possibility.
