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!
When rich and handsome Bing Lee comes to town, along with his stuck‑up friend William Darcy, things really start to get interesting for the Bennets—and for Lizzie’s viewers. But not everything happens on‑screen. Lucky for us, Lizzie has a secret diary.
The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet takes readers deep inside Lizzie’s world and well beyond the confines of her camera—from the wedding where she first meets William Darcy to the local hangout of Carter’s bar, and much more. Lizzie’s private musings are filled with revealing details about the Bennet household, including her growing suspicions about her parents’ unstable financial situation, her sister’s budding relationship with Bing Lee, the perils of her unexpected fame, and her uncertainty over her future—and whom she wants to share it with.
“Thank you, Mr. Bennet! I am supremely gratified that my darling fiancee has agreed to become my permanent life partner,” Ricky said so gleefully that little flecks of mashed potato ended up in his George Lucas beard. (The definition of a George Lucas beard being a beard grown to indicate a maturity that one’s boyish features or a naive aspect might otherwise belie. See also: lack of chin.)
~ p. 129, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su & Kate Rorick
Salvation is surrounded, monsters at the gates, and this time, they’re not going away. When Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan set out, the odds are against them. But the odds have been stacked against Deuce from the moment she was born. She might not be a Huntress anymore, but she doesn’t run. With her knives in hand and her companions at her side, she will not falter, whether fighting for her life or Fade’s love.
Ahead, the battle of a lifetime awaits. Freaks are everywhere, attacking settlements, setting up scouts, perimeters, and patrols. There hasn’t been a war like this in centuries, and humans have forgotten how to stand and fight. Unless Deuce can lead them.
This time, however, more than the fate of a single enclave or outpost hangs in the balance. This time, Deuce carries the banner for the survival of all humanity.
“So it won’t bother you if I find someone else?”
His jaw clenched, and I saw the muscle move before he got it under control. “I thought you said you’d fight for me.”
“And you said it’s too late.” I offered him a faint smile along with his watch. “So it’s a good thing I don’t intend to listen to you.”

I was running blind and hoping that the journey ended with Fade beside me.
When next I woke, the world was a blur of snarls and yellow fangs.

What are you reading this week?
They both sound so great!
http://carabosseslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/09/teaser-tuesdays.html
The first one is for sure! The second, I need to catch up on the series, but word is that it’s pretty great too.
Horde is FANTASTIC! The entire series was wonderful.
Book books sound good, but Secret Diary appealed to me a lot. Sounds like it’s funny.
My Tuesday post features The Gods of Second Chances.
It is. The book is actually based on a YouTube series that tells P&P through a series of vlogs and an effective use of transmedia (like Twitter, Facebook pages, Tumblr). It’s a pretty great series
I’ve got The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on my Kindle as well but haven’t started reading it yet, don’t know why. It’s probably because I’m apprehensive about adaptations of one of my favourite books! But the teaser is great! I’m not so sure about Horde though! Thanks for sharing
hope you have a great week!

Thanks for visiting, Julie!
Have you seen The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube? Because this book is pretty much a companion to that (though it stands well on its own), and the web series is an excellent adaptation. Well, at least I thought so. lol
I’ve read Horde and enjoyed it, and I have The Secret Diary in my to-read pile. I really want to get to it soon!
Here’s my teaser:

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!
Great teasers! I’m a big P&P fan, so I love checking out any adaptations. I hope you enjoy them!
My Teaser.
Thank you and if you haven’t watched The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube, I’d recommend it before reading this adaptation. It’s not neccessary, but I think it’d be more enjoyable that way.
Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve heard of both of these. Horde is on my summer reading list but I’m still unsure about Lizzie. Might need to think again.
Here is my tease – http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/09/02/teaser-tuesdays-79-an-apex-predator-novel-shark-station-nyet-by-carolyn-mccray/
Awesome! I hope you enjoy Horde and definitely think about The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. The show is fantastic and I’m totally going to read the companion when I have a bit of time. Dani has told me it’s completely awesome! =)
Yeah, I need to catch up on the Razorland series, and it was on the summer TBR stack… which is now the fall TBR stack. WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO?!?! *shakes fist*
