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!
From page 83-84:
"Each f you has come here to make a fresh start. After lunch, you'll be casting away your old clothes, and by the end of your three-week stay here in the Incubation Suites, you'll have cast away your old lives as well."
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Books I've Read So Far In 2013
I love this topic. I've read a lot of mediocre books so far this year, but I've read a bunch of really good ones too. Not all of these were published this year, but I did read/ finish them this year. BTW, these are IN ORDER. I actually started keeping my books in order on my Goodreads list a few years ago. It makes determining which are my favorites so easy. I can also look back at past years to see what my top 10 were.
Eleanor & Park by
Rainbow Rowell
I don't know how much more I can talk about my love of this book. I found it to be perfect in almost every way. That is why it is my favorite book so far this year.
Review
The Moon and More
by
Sarah Dessen
Another list, another Sarah Dessen book. Try to hold your shock that this is one of my favorite books so far this year. I found it to be so different than most of her other books, and yet very similar.
This Is What Happy Looks Like by
Jennifer E. Smith
Ms. Smith is starting to become one of my favorite authors. Her books are so engaging and memorable. Just thinking about this books is making me want to read it again.
Review
Mockingjay
(The Hunger Games #3) by
Suzanne Collins
So there are a couple of books that I was totally late to the party in reading. The Hunger Games books were one of those things. I made it my mission to read at least the first book before last year ended and I succeeded. I didn't finish reading this one until the beginning of January. I loved it.
Dark Triumph
(His Fair Assassin #2) by
R.L. LaFevers
I loved Grave Mercy, and wasn't sure the rest of the series would live up to it. I was wrong. This is just as good as GM, and I loved it.
Review
Everbound
(Everneath #2) by
Brodi Ashton
Another book where the sequel lived up to the first one. I love it just as much and I am so excited for the final book. Is it January yet?
Unravel Me
(Shatter Me #2) by
Tahereh Mafi
There seems to be a bit of a pattern here. The difference between this and the two above is that I actually liked this book more than I liked the first book. This book was awesome. Once again I'm on pins and needles for the final book.
Looking for Alaska by
John Green
Yet another book that I can't believe I waited so long to read. I laughed, I cried. I cried while laughing. So real, and so good.
Alice in Zombieland
(White Rabbit Chronicles #1) by
Gena Showalter
I was really looking forward to this book and I was so happy it didn't disappoint. I'm sure my crush on Cole had something to do with it. I am eagerly awaiting the next one.
Perfect Scoundrels
(Heist Society #3) by
Ally Carter
I love Ally Carter. Her books are just so much fun. It makes me sad that this won't be on my top 10 list by the end of the year, but I'm happy I can feature it now.
