Teaser Tuesday (8)

 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!

"Honestly, I don't know how some of these stories got started," Lucius complained, adjusting the van's radio, probably looking for Croatian folk music but settling for classical on the public radio. "Hollywood, I suppose."

Again, another flip and point find. I am actually very excited to get into a new vampire romance. I get so nervous about them. I sometimes feel like I'm cheating on Twilight! 

It is exciting to read something that can be fun and lighthearted, yet slightly morbid. My idea of fun! Should be amazing!

Tease me!!!

In My Mailbox (6)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme created by Kristi at The Story Siren that gives readers the chance to share the books they bought/received/swapped/rented over the past week.

This week, the hubby and I went on what we like to call a "Goodwill Run." I am a major fan of Goodwill and love love love to shop for the next great find! This week, it looked like someone cleaned out their bookshelf of some pretty rad YA books. 

Me + GoodCheapBooks = Loved

I hit the YA jackpot! Unfortunately I am on a budget, so I had to leave some lovelies at the store. :(

But, I did score some fabulous reads. At least I hope.

 I don't think that I have ever read a novel about fairies. But, I have had my eye on these ones for a while. And I figure it they would be a nice start to what is sure to be my fairy book addiction. How beautiful are these covers?? Just gorgeous.

I am usually kind of iffy when it come to vampire books. I love love Twilight so much that it is difficult to pick up another novel. It is kind of like new boyfriends. I will always compare the new one that got away, except in this case, my "old boyfriend: lives on my shelf. 

Anyways, this one sounds kind of fun, and I like to add fun lighthearted books in here and there so I don't get jumpy.

I have been putting off Blue Bloods for a while now. While I was shopping the shelves, it just kind of jumped out at me. Fate?? I guess we will see when I sink my teeth into this one!
