The Kari AnnAlysis

Happy Teaser Tuesday friends and foes! In the world of booky blogs, today is a HUGE day because it’s the release of Mockingjay. I, however, haven’t started on this series. I ordered them all in hardback, the first two won’t be here until Friday, Mockingjay, still no date yet! Bah. Anywho, back to what I’m reading as we speak, The Starlet by Mary McNamara.

I am going to warn you that I am going to use a curse word in this tease, but it’s my favorite quote of the book, so close the eyes of your kids.

Pg21: “Jesus Christ,” Gabriel said, looking for a moment as if he would drop her where he stood. “What is Mercy fucking Talbot doing in your car? And why did you bring her here? God almighty, Jules, you were only gone for five hours! Where did you find her?”

Although I am over halfway through this book, I’m still not sure how I feel about it. It’s got death and drugs and superstars, but it’s just Mehh so far.

This week’s Teaser Tuesday comes from Firefly Lane. I had never heard of this book until my cousin name dropped it. She was in town over the weekend, and I was just finishing up another read, so I dove in. It seems to be a really quick read, but the nausea I was fighting. It’s hard to read anything, let alone quick, with an upset belly.

Pg13: “They weren’t really lies, really, just exaggerations. Anything that would make her mom someday say she was proud of her”

I had a hard time picking out just a couple of sentences for this one. Every area that I found a quote I liked, you had to have a couple in front and behind to make it make sense. Hopefully this one suffices… and intrigues!

What are you teasing this week?

This week, I have not one, but two Teaser Tuesdays! I am reading two really good books right now and want to share a tease from both.

The first comes from Running Dark by Jamie Freveletti:

Pg1: ”

The second tease comes from Missing Mabel by Nancy Mehl.

Pg10: “My mother still couldn’t understand why I’d left college to go to beauty school and ended up working on “dead people’s hair, for crying out loud.” Mom is a successful neurosurgeon who is absolutely horrified by my career choice.”

I am loving both of these books right now! What are you reading?

This week’s Teaser Tuesday comes to us from Rebecca Maizel’s ARC of Infinite Days. I normally don’t add a cover, but I love this one, so that’s why it’s here too.

Pg 5: “I didn’t look a day over sixteen, yet if someone had calculated on that particular day — I officially turned 592.”

I think this is the first time I have ever gone under the required two sentence tease! 

What are you reading?

Happy Teaser Tuesday friends. You all know the rules. Open your current read, pick a couple of sentences to tease us, without spoilers. You also know I cheat and find really good ones. This week’s tease comes from The Center of the Universe: A Memoir by Nancy Bachrach.

Pg 87 “Dear Nantucket Dockmaster,

We can’t come in July
And here’s the reason why.
My Captain has just died.

            Sincerely, 
            Mrs. Hornstein
PS: Please return my twenty-five-dollar deposit“
