First Date

Author: Krista McGee

Published Date: January 10th 2012

Published By: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Religious/Inspirational

Summary from Goodreads:

Addy Davidson discovers God's unexpected plans for her life when a reality TV show turns her quiet existence on its head. The orphaned daughter of missionaries, Addy is quite content to stay in the shadows and never draw attention to herself. But when she's selected for a reality TV show to try to become the President son's prom date-a show she didn't audition for-she's suddenly in America's spotlight. The lights, the make-up, the competitions, and the blogs discussing every move she makes all make Addy incredibly uncomfortable. But through her time at The Mansion, Addy comes to realize that first impressions aren't always right, that hiding out may not be what God had planned for her life, and that her faith should affect everything she does. It may just be that her selection wasn't random at all and that she's on this show "for such a time as this." Add to TBR

And here's my teaser:

"You're going to be on television, Addy," Mr. Lawrence said, as if it were a good thing. As if all seventeen year-old girls dreamed of being told that and Addy should jump up from her seat, squeal, and thank him for the opportunity.
-Addy, 1% on Kindle, First Date by Krista McGee

I received the eBook from Thomas Nelson Pub. and I'm excited to see how the story will unfold for Addy. What's your teaser today?

Along for the Ride
Author: Sarah Dessen
Published Date: June 11th 2009
Published By: SPEAK (First published by Viking Juvenile)
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary

Summary from Goodreads:
It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.

A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.

In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.

And here's my teaser:

"I wondered if emotions were like menstrual cycles, if you got enough women together. Give it time, and everyone was crying."

-Auden, p.49 ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen

I'm really liking this book and I'm so excited to see how Auden and her relationship with her dad and stepmom will turn out. Most especially her relationship with brothers Eli and Jake.

Do you have a teaser today? =)

If you had visited my site in the last couple of days, you've probably noticed that I'm S-T-I-L-L reading Wanderlove. It was a busy and stressful week for me, and obviously, I wasn't productive with regards to my reading. So yeah, again... here is my teaser from the same book I featured last week on my Teaser Tuesdays. (But hey, I'm halfway through already! it's something you know ;)

My Teaser:

“Bria, I found this for you.”

My expression must betray my disgust. The backpack looks like it’s been through a war. A war in a swamp. A war in a swamp involving fireballs and monsters with fangs…

“We can sew straps on your garbage bag if you prefer,” Rowan says.

My Teaser: 

"I've found it's the best way to travel. Heading to whatever place intrigues me, you know? If I feel like sunbathing, I go to the beach. If I'm hungry, I hike a Mayan ruin..."

My Teaser:

I don’t think often on my father’s body strung out through the reddening surf. Instead, I remember him as he was before the race: afraid. 

I won’t make the same mistake.

My teaser for today is from A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies, which I am enjoying and loving right now. I wanted to include all the clues which Cassie stated for Skye but that would be cheating. I already broke the rule of two sentences here if you've noticed *wink!

My Teaser: 

 

"Skye has a crush", she announced.

"What, I do not!" I cried. 

"Prepare to be proven wrong. Clue number one: You were late for homeroom. You're never late for homeroom. Clue number two: Your arrival happened to coincide with the arrival of two hot new guys--who you apparently rescued. Saving them from the horrific fate of of being lost and having to wander these halls for all eternity."

My Teaser: 

“Have you kissed many boys before?” he asked quietly. My cheeks flushed, but my voice was steady as I answered. “One.” At this, Noah leaned in impossibly closer, the slender muscles in his forearm flexing as he bent his elbow to bring himself nearer to me, almost touching. I closed my eyes and felt Noah’s five o’clock graze my jaw, and the faintest whisper of his lips at my ear. “He was doing it wrong.”

My teaser for today is from the third book of the The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner.

My Teaser:

“Awwww,” Minho said. “That’s almost as sweet as that time she slammed the end of a spear into your shuck face.”

“True love indeed.” This from Frypan, followed by his deep bellow of a laugh. “I’d hate to see what happens when these two have their first real fight.”

My teaser is from the popular series by Richelle Mead, The Vampire Academy Series. I know that I'm so left behind already, so I'm trying to catch up! Hope you still find it enjoying =) 

My 1st Teaser:

"Don't let them talk to each other," he warned the guardian who escorted me to the back of the plane. "Five minutes together, and they'll come up with an escape plan." 

-Dimitri Belikov, p.12 Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

My 2nd Teaser:

"Do you cut your own hair?" I ask. 

He tilts his head to the side. "Talk about your non sequitur." 

"Because it looks like you do," I continue. He looks at me for a long time , and when I realize he isn't going to say anything, I take another pull off the cigarette and say, "It looks ridiculous, by the way."

p.16 Saving June by Hannah Harrington

What's your teaser today? I'm excited to see! I have a feeling that my TBR will pile up again today!

Teaser Tuesdays is one of my most favorite meme because I get to read exciting teasers from different books that my fellow bloggers are currently reading. It never fail to increase my TBR pile tremendously! ((grin))

So now, for my teaser, something from Hourglass by Myra McEntire. Here it goes...

He bent down, burying his face in my neck. I reached back to grab onto the iron bars behind me to hold myself up. My jacket slipped off my shoulders. I was pretty sure I was on fire, and at that moment I would have sworn that bursting into flame was a glorious way to go.

My teasers are from VARIANT by Robinson Wells which I just finished, and from Beautiful Disaster which I immediately started after Variant =) 

Beautiful Disasters have lots of highlights and I wanted to quote everything but that would be against the rule. So I just picked up in random. Sorry, it's a bit longer than 2 lines... Here it goes:

What's your teaser? I've always been excited to peek! =)
