Teaser Tuesday (25) Circus Galacticus


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!



Circus Galacticus by Deva Fagan
Publication Date: November 15

Find on Goodreads

My Teaser:

pg.29 "It's not only good looks; it's something more, a spark so raw and powerful it shakes my core. I fell like my universe suddenly got a whole new dimension."

I am honestly not sure how I feel about this book. I thought after this line, a fantastic romance would ensue that would completely sweep me off my feet. No such thing happened... yet. I am only 168 pages in so far. But, the writing is a little chaotic so far, so I am just... unsure. We will see I guess.

Teaser Tuesday (24) The Probability of Miracles & Practice Cake


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!



The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder

My Teaser: 

pg. 145 "'See what I mean about the damsel-in-distress thing?' said Cam. 'I think it's a problem for you. You're like a help-aholic,' she said, catching her breath as he hoisted her to shore and made sure she got her footing."

This book really made me cry. It was out of my comfort zone, and totally worth it.



Practice Cake by Dalya Moon

My Teaser:

pg. 2 "I needed the job, but I also had a really inappropriate impulse to lean over and lick the boy's neck, to find out if he tasted like icing sugar."

pg. 4 "He was pretty great, like one of those Greek statues, but with too many clothes on."

Practice Cake= Adorable, funny book! I love it. The writing is great and fun, and Dalya is a sweetheart <3

Teaser Tuesday (23) Carrier of the Mark


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!




Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon


My Teaser: 

pg. 205 "I felt a strange surge of power run through me. The cool feeling ripped through me like electricity, and Rian and Adam were flung through the air. They landed on their backs twenty feet apart."


I really do like my book. Unfortunately, it is losing my interest. But, I do feel like something big is going to happen soon. Plus, I love Megan and Adam together <3
Small update! I don't think it is the book I am losing interest in. I think I am have an ADD kind of week o-O Yup, pretty sure that is it!

Teaser Tuesday (22) Clockwise & Feyland: The Dark Realm


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!



Clockwise by Elle Strauss


My Teaser:

pg.2 "Everyone has to live with something. For instance, my hair is the unmanageable kind of curly, the color of burnt toast. Imagine waking up every morning looking like the lion king, or having to spend a disproportionate amount of you allowance on hair products that don't deliver."

I am not too far into this one yet, but I am really like it. It is so cute!



Feyland: The Dark Realm by Anthea Sharp


My Teaser:

pg.5 "The queen laughed. It was the sound of ice shattering on a black lake. 'Of course I can. This is my court. My realm. You are but a visitor. Please- drink.' She waved one delicate hand at the goblet."

I peeked at this one when I first downloaded it, and I am in love with Anthea's writing already. I am excited to dig further into it

Crave by Melissa Darnell
 
"A new wave of pain rose up to slam into my stomach and chest, wiping the smile right off my face. This was an ache I knew far too well. It hit me every time he came within a hundred yards of me, usually before I even saw or heard him."
pg. 23



I had some difficulties with this book not working right on my Nook. And I was soooooo sad! But, it is working again, and I can finally finish reading it because I love it so far!










Ashfall by Mike Mufflin


"Together we lost the old world, slipping from that cocoon of mechanized comfort into the hellish land we inhabit now."
pg. 7



This one pretty darn good so far. A lot of destruction.

The copy I have is only 223 pages, and I am getting pretty close to the ending. In short, this books is very interesting and just got even better. I have a feeling I am going to be up late finishing it.

I don't know if I'm just not enough into it or not, but I have no clue what is going on! In kind of a good way though. You can definitely feel the MC's chaos and confusion.

I just started this one Monday, but it is pretty short so I think I will be done with it sometime tomorrow. It is fairly cute so far, and very fast. And I love the cover!

 Goodreads 

"'Magical flying lights and a ghost. It's been a busy night for you.' 'You have no idea.'"
pg. 91 

I am liking this one alright so far. It is a little strange and a lot different than many books that I read. I like it that Dylan is broken down and emotional; the only direction for him is up. I can't wait to see a romance begin. I can almost taste it coming. :D

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater


"I fell asleep to the scent of my wolf. Pine needles, cold rain, earthy perfume, coarse bristles on my face.
It was almost like he was there."
pg. 25
I am absolutely loving Shiver so far! Why oh why has it taken me so long to finally read them?? Well, I am definitely enjoying them now.

Misfit by Jon Skovron
 
 
"Well, that's it then," she said quietly. She sat down next to him on the hard mountain rock. "We're in deep shit. Because I love you, too."
pg. 53
 
This was taken from chapter 4, and I have to say I completely loved! this chapter! I am still not too sure about this book, but this part helped a lot.

"She [Jael] walked purposefully toward the jumble of wood, stone, and iron. As she started to climb up, sparkling brown eyes snapped open near her foot. Jael gave a little shriek and stumbled backward. The structure slowly began to shift and rise until it had resembled into the shape of a bull."
pg. 29
 
 I am not quite sure how I feel about Misfit yet. We shall see.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
"Great mouse droppings! It's monstrous! What do we do?"
pg. 9
The Tribe is cute so far! It is mostly from the viewpoint from cats. Never read anything like it before, but there is first for everything.

Legacy by Cayla Lynn Kluver
Publication Date: June 21, 2011

"He looked up when we entered, his deep blue eyes appraising us, the lift in his eyebrows his only reaction to our unorthodox arrival. In that instant, my tongue failed me. I had been concentrating so heavily on executing our placn that I had not given a single thought to what I would say should it prove successful."
pg. 134

I just started Legacy yesterday, and to be honest, I am already in love with it.
The norm for me is modern, urban fantasies, books of that type, so to have a book written in a different time and place is refreshing.
I love it!
