Teaser Tuesday #8


Teaser Tuesday 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!

My Teaser:
"She didn't understand the things her mom was screaming. It all blended together into a nonsensical jumble."

P.g 129 (of epub format) "The Torturer's Daughter" by Zoe Cannon

WWW #5


WWW Wednesday is a meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
You just answer these three questions:
What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What are you planning to read next?

What have I recently finished reading?

The author sent me an e-copy of this book for review and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for the sequel. John Kerry was also nice enough to be my first ever interviewee, so please check that out. (Review) (Interview)






What am I currently reading?

The author sent me an e-copy for review and its way more enjoyable than I had anticipated. It's a very original book about pixies. 








What am I going to read next?

I'm looking forward to reading this book so much, the author sent me an e-copy for review. It's dystopia which is my favorite genre & I think it will be a great read.

Waiting on Wednesday


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the spine.

Seventeen-year-old Eva is a chosen one. Chosen to live, while others meet a swift and painful death from an incurable virus so lethal, a person is dead within days of symptoms emerging. In the POD system, a series of underground habitats built by the government, she waits with the other chosen for the deadly virus to claim those above. Separated from family and friends, it's in the PODs she meets David. And while true love might not conquer all, it's a balm for the broken soul. 
After a year, scientists believe the population has died, and without living hosts, so has the virus. That's the theory, anyway. But when the PODs are opened, survivors find the surface holds a vicious secret. The virus mutated, infecting those left top-side and creating... monsters. 
Eva and David hide from the infected in the abandoned PODs. Together they try to build a life--a new beginning. But the infected follow and are relentless in their attacks. Leaving Eva and David to fight for survival, and pray for a cure.
expected publication date: June 4th 2013
