R.A.K wrap up

February 29, 2012

I had an awesome time with R.A.K. my first month participating was a success I think, I’ll not be taking part in March but hope to again in April or May.

I sent out Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver to Book Brats.

I got Hater by David Moody which was sent from Beth at Living A Goddess Life. Man was she hard to track down but I wanted to publicly do a thank you so after much internet searching I figured out who it was that sent me Hater. Thanks Beth

Mary at Sweeping Me sent me Seed by Ania Ahlborn. Thanks.

Teaser Tuesday

February 28, 2012

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!)

My teaser is from Blue Monday by Nicci French. I’ve been a big fan of Nicci French for ages now and have read all but one or two of the couples books. Blue Monday I was lucky enough to get an arc copy of and I’m really enjoying it. The mysteries they create are always interesting not to mention their books are easy to read. Great flow.

I’m sharing two teasers because I like them both and couldn’t decide which to go with. Keeping in mind that being an arc these may be different or not even in the finished copy.

From page 61

In the lift, they turned to each other as the doors shut and kissed so fiercely that she could taste the blood on her lip, pulling apart as they reached his floor.

From page 73

“I know you’re there. Don’t pretend. Get through that hole and come round here now.”
