Teaser Tuesdays (25): Mockingjay

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme that was started by MizB from Should Be Reading.

If you would like to participate in Teaser Tuesday, all you have to do is take the book that you are currently reading and open it to any page. Then you choose any two (2) sentences from that page to share with the rest of us!

This weeks teaser comes from page 151 of Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games) - Library Edition by Suzanne Collins.

"So, what do you think they'll do to them?" I ask.
Prim sounds about a thousand years old when she speaks.
"Whatever it takes to break you."

I loved the first two books in the series and so far, this one is soooo good. Really. I am at the point that I am going to be reading this to others to get them to read the series. It's so great to read a book that is this good!

Leave us a link to your teaser, we'd love to see it!

Waiting on Wednesday (25): The Clockwork Three

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is The Clockwork Three by Matthew J. Kirby. It's due out October 1, 2010 from Scholastic Press.

Book Description

Three ordinary children are brought together by extraordinary events. . .

Giuseppe is an orphaned street musician from Italy, who was sold by his uncle to work as a slave for an evil padrone in the U.S. But when a mysterious green violin enters his life he begins to imagine a life of freedom.

Hannah is a soft-hearted, strong-willed girl from the tenements, who supports her family as a hotel maid when tragedy strikes and her father can no longer work. She learns about a hidden treasure, which she knows will save her family -- if she can find it.

And Frederick, the talented and intense clockmaker's apprentice, seeks to learn the truth about his mother while trying to forget the nightmares of the orphanage where she left him. He is determined to build an automaton and enter the clockmakers' guild -- if only he can create a working head.

Together, the three discover they have phenomenal power when they team up as friends, and that they can overcome even the darkest of fears.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

Teaser Tuesdays (24): Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme that was started by MizB from Should Be Reading.

This weeks teaser comes from page 37 of Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly.

Apart from that guitar, which I very much want to play, this party has possibilities: bored rich boys, jealous rich girls, plenty of illegal substances, maybe even a loaded gun.

If I'm lucky.

Leave us a link to your teaser, we'd love to see it!
