My Teaser for this week comes from Scored by Lauren McLaughlin:

"And now here was Diego, his long legs hugging the scooter, his straight back waiting for her to press herself against it. There was nothing inherently sexual about riding behind someone on a scooter, but she wished Diego had a car, something with a wide front seat, seat belts, and a lot of room between passenger and driver."

Interested? I'm just getting to the meat of the book, so stay tuned to my blog for insight into how I feel once this book is all over.

Teaser Tuesday Fake/Real Post

Okay, I have been a bit out of the loop for quite some time. I decided to use this week's Teaser Tuesday to explain/ show you why. I called it a fake/real post because, well its from a real book, but I'd doubt anyone would want to actually read it. With that said, lets go into the Teaser Tueday

 My TT for this week is:

Book: The Goal
By: Eliyahu M Goldratt

Teaser:
"You're just playing a log of games with numbers and words"
"Increase throughput while simultaneously reducing both inventory and operating expense"

Wow! Doesn't that just make you want to dive in and read this book? No?

Okay, in all actuality, its not a bad book. I have to read it for school, and it's written like a novel so its easier to read than most other business books. I'm actually getting through it rather quickly. The problem is just that I DONT WANT TO READ IT!!! I want to go back to my ghosts and faeries and vampires and werewolves. I want to go back to reading about relationships that are too perfect to actually be real. I want to go back to my own books.

Luckily this book needs to be done by this weekend, so after this weekend, I will be reunited with all my lovely YA and paranormal books.

What's your teaser for this week?

Book: Dead Sky Morning
By: Karina Halle
Publication Date: October 13, 2011

Description: With the Experiment in Terror show finding some success, amateur ghost hunters Perry Palomino and Dex Foray embark on their most terrifying investigation yet. A tiny, fog-shrouded island in the rough strait between British Columbia and Washington State has held a dark secret for decades: It was a former leper colony where over forty souls were left to rot, die and bury each other. Now a functioning campground, Perry and Dex spend an isolated weekend there to investigate potential hauntings but as the duo quickly find out, there is more to fear on D’Arcy Island than just ghosts. The island quickly pits partner against partner, spiraling the pair into madness that serves to destroy their sanity, their relationship and their very lives. 

My Teaser: "'Because I'm not dead.' 'You will be soon,' she said simply, her little-girl voice gone. The frankness cut me to the core."

This week's teaser is from The Moon and The Tide by Derrolyn Anderson:

Description: When Marina learned the truth about her past she thought that the drama was over, but she couldn't have been more wrong. She finds that her whole life has been a lie, orchestrated from behind the scenes by her own loved ones.

Still reeling from the shock, she is confronted with even more betrayal,and takes solace in an increasingly dangerous new habit.

After an accident dramatically exposes her secret to the world, a dangerous enemy with evil plans arrives on the scene. Marina's bravery is put to the test once again, forcing her to use all of her new-found skills to protect her family.

Can good triumph over evil?

Will true love win out over jealousy?

"He was my first boyfriend, my first kiss, and I was hopelessly inexperienced. I heard the other girls at school talk casually about 'hooking up' but it could never be that way with us. We were in love, and that made everything more intense- more risky somehow. He was patient, and I knew I could trust him, but he was human"

In just a few weeks after moving to the small beach town, sixteen year old Marina has nearly drowned twice, enchanted the hottest guy in high school, and discovered a supernatural creature. If she can only manage to survive her increasingly dangerous encounters with unpredictable mermaids, she might just be able to unlock the mystery of her past to learn how to appease the mysterious forces that seem to want something from her...and maybe even find true love along the way.
Between The Land And The Sea is the first book in the series "Marina's Tales". Her story continues on in book two, The Moon And The Tide.

My Teaser:

"'Why did you call me sisthter?' I asked, slurring my words. My vision was starting to blacken at the edges. She paused for a moment, and then said, 'You were born of one like us,' she smiled, 'And so you are a sister.' The blackness descended upon me totally."

That was the last thing I was able to read yesterday (i got rushed to dinner) and I cant wait to see what happens next!!! What are your teasers?

Teaser Tuesday, Read-A-Thon Wrap-Up, My Puppy

Good Morning Everyone and Happy Tuesday!!!

Sorry you havent heard much from me. Between the earthquake last week and the hurricane this weekend, I was too terrified of life to do much of anything. Earthquake + Hurricane = Terrified Sherre. Hurricane=trees that fall=No electricity at the parents house=no wifi=no blog posts. Hurricane+No electricity=no sump pump working= flood in the basement. Luckily, I was at the boyfriends house in which had electricity, nonetheless, terror had me focused on the news and not on my book responsibilities. Shame! I am back to my normal self now and feeling much better. We have gotten back our electricity, (still no hot water though...yea it sucks) and are working on getting the basement back together. Nonetheless, I was able to finish Misfit By Jon Skovron  for the Read-A-Thon on Friday. It was a great book. The book Review will come soon. I was only able to begin Possession by Elana Johnson.
