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!
Don’t be jealous, it sucks. I can’t control it. My mind is a mutinous SOB that takes over when I go to sleep. I’m just a girl trying to get some shut eye while it decides to throw a rager that can land me just about anywhere in the world.
The base of the Eiffel Tower.
The shore on the coast of Ireland.
The third baseline at Wrigley Field.
Sounds exciting and fun right? Wrong. My not so superpower is unpredictable, uncontrollable and annoying as hell. It’s also how I met Nick.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Nick is mine.
Nick is extraordinary as well. He can’t feel fear. Never has, never will. It’s worked out for him as a PJ in the Air Force, one of the most dangerous jobs in the military, but where it’s not helpful is with his social skills. Nick is cold, distant and apathetic.
He’s also my hero. And if he’s to be believed, I’m his.
I first met him when he died and that wasn’t even the weirdest moment of our relationship. Neither is this moment here and now, trapped together in an island prison on the Behring Sea. It’s a long, strange story between his death and this prison. One full of sheep, docks, Jabberwocks and a very special stone. I could tell it to you if you’d like to hear it. I’ve got time…
What is it with people this morning stating things that should be questions? Give a girl a break, guys. I just woke up on the hot asphalt ten minutes ago after traveling my corporeal being through the fibers of time and space using only my mind. What have you done ? Peed and brushed your teeth? Congrats. Here, have a Pop Tart and leave me alone.

If you love something, let it go. If it steals your car, it never really liked you to begin with.

“If you hope to influence students’ attitude toward reading in a truly substantial way, you must first know something about your children. How positive are their attitudes? What are their likes and dislikes? How do their friends and family feel about reading?”
