 Once In A Full Moon

Ellen Schreiber

"After volleyball practice, I left the school gym and this thing jumped out of the bushes at me."

"What thing?", Ivy asked.

"A thing! A creature."

Unearthly

Cynthia Hand

Not now, I think, as if the vision in a person I can command. The next line of my speech flies out of my head. I begin to see the outlines of trees.

Please, I think at the vision desperately. Go away.

Frostbite(Vampire Academy #2)

Richelle Mead

""Stay back," I warned. "Stay away from him."

They kept coming.

"Stay back!" I yelled. They stopped. Except for one.

"Rose," came a soft voice. "Drop the sword."

My hands shook. I swallowed. "Get away from us."

"Rose."

The voice spoke again, a voice that my soul would have known anywhere. Hesitantly, I let myself finally become aware of my surroundings, let the  details sink in. I let my eyes focus on the features of the man standing there. Dimitri's brown eyes, gentle and firm, looked down on me.

"It's okay," he said. "Everything's going to be okay. You can let go of the sword."

My hands shook even harder as I fought to hold on to the hilt. "I can't." The words hurt coming out. "I can't leave him alone. I have to protect him."

"You have," said Dimitri.

The sword fell out of my hands, landing with a loud clatter on the wooden floor. I followed, collapsing on all fours, wanting to cry but still unable to."

Sorry it's so long. But I wanted you guys to read the whole thing.

Fixing Delilah

Sarah Ockler

Patrick laughs. "All night, too. Afraid to be alone with me, Hannaford?"

"No." Yes. "Just wondering about, Em."

"She can't save you," he says, pulling me into another kiss as we slowly make our way to Main Street.

Wintergirls

Laurie Halse Anderson

"Do I joke with you about food?"

I am so hungry I have to stay strong--bend, but not break. "One muffin."

"Two muffins. You need the carbs."

"One and the eggs."

She takes another deep breathe. "Deal."

City of Ashes(Mortal Instruments #2)

Cassandra Clare

Clary snapped the compartment open and frowned. She took out a shiny pamphlet, the kind they keep stacked in clear plastic stands in the hospital waiting rooms. "How to Come Out to Your Parents," she read out loud. "LUKE. Don't be ridiculous. Simon's not gay, he's a vampire."

The Body Finder

Kimberly Derting

Everything had just changed for Violet. Knowing this girl . . . and knowing what she was capable of doing to help, even if it was futile, and even if it turned out to be dangerous, she knew she could no longer just sit around and wait to see if--or when--they found Hailey.

Violet was done waiting around for someone else to find the pyschopath who was preying on these girls. She was going to do something, even it she had to sneak around to get it done.

So..what are you teasers for this week?

So, there's more teasers this week than I thought. I hope you have fun reading all of them :)

First, the two I'm reading right now, Heist Society and Matched.

Heist Society

Ally Carter

"There are two dozen truly great museums in the world. Maybe two dozen and one if you don't mind the crowds at the Lourve, Kat's father always said. But, of course, even great museums are not created equal. Some are nothing but old houses with high ceilings and gorgeous moldings, a few security cameras, and minimum-wage guards. Some hire consultants and get their equipment from the CIA."

Matched

Ally Condie

"On a whim, I pick up the artifact, twist the base, look inside. I know Ky saw me reading the poems in the forest. Did he also see me open the compact?

What if Ky left a message for me?

Nothing."

Now, a couple from books I read between last Tuesday and yesterday, that I haven't shared teasers with you guys.

Prom

Laurie Halse Anderson

"'The only reason you helped Dad was to get back with me.'

TJ braked for a red light. 'Yep. I'm sorry.'"

Linger(The Wolves Of Mercy Falls #2)

Maggie Stiefvater

"Cole should've been looking at me like I was crazy, but he was just looking at me. Like he didn't seem to get that this was a rejection."

Nightshade 

Andrea Cremer

"'So what are you doing tonight?' Shay asked as we walked out of Big Ideas.

'Outlining this essay.' I tapped my notebook. 'I'm starting to fall behind because of...everything.'

'Can I come over?' he asked, holding up a full page of notes. 'We could do it together.'"

Undead and Unappreciated(Undead #3)

MaryJanice Davidson

"'Well we're going to try!' I hollered back. 'We can't not try!'

He shrugged. 'As you wish.'"

So..Those are my 6 teasers for this week. A lot, I know. Oh well. Hope you enjoyed :) Make sure to leave your link so I can come visit you!

Like I promised, there are 3 teasers for this week. One from The Book Thief, one from Kisses of Midnight and the other one from Room.

Kiss Of Midnight

Lara Adrian

Gabrielle stared at him. "Your father was not only a vampire, but an alien besides? Do you have any idea how insane that sounds?"

Room

Emma Donoghue

"Are you hurting?" I shout.

"No, I'm just trying to enjoy my first shower in seven years."

The Book Thief

Markus Zusak

"In the blue corner," he quietly commentated, "we have the champion of the world, the Aryan masterpiece--the Fuhrer." He breathed and turned. "And in the red corner, we have the Jewish, rat-faced challenger--Max Vandenburg."

There you have it! My three teasers for this week :D

4 Books to share teasers with you for this week :) One, I've already finished(Safe Haven), but I thought you guys deserved a teaser from it :) Here they are!

Runaway

Wendelin Vann Draanen

"Monday, October 11th

Took a shower in that bathroom near the beach(used the hand dryer as a hair dryer--ahh!), scored an amazing submarine sandwich(and paid for a quart of milk), and saw Hog."

Dead Until Dark

Charlaine Harris

""He is older than me. More to the point, he is stronger."

'Nobody's stronger than you," I said stroutly.

"I wish you were right.""

The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner

Stephanie Meyer

"I glanced around to make sure no one was waiting for the bag, because I thought Fred would probably be curious, too. Riley caught my eye, smiled the tiniest bit, and jerked his chin slightly toward the corner where Fred was. Which made me want to do the exact opposite of what I'd just been planning, but whatever. I didn't want Riley to be suspicious of me."

Safe Haven

Nicholas Sparks

""He'd been drinking and holding a gun again and she was too scared to say another other than to ask him to come to bed. But that was when she knew that if she stayed, the husband would eventually kill her.""

I couldn't make up my mind what book to do between My Sister's Keeper and Vampire High, so I'm going to do a teaser for both! 

First off, we'll do My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

"She didn't ask me to file a lawsuit."

"Then what did she ask you?"

Page 459

And lastly, we have Vampire High by Douglas Rees. 

After that, I didn't need anybody to tell me that Horvath had it in for me. But Justin did anyway.

Teasers of the week :) Next week I should {hopefully} have The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo or Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy. Not sure. Maybe both! ;) Have a great week!

I'm only about 75 pages in, but so far it's really great! Thanks everyone who recommended this one to me :)

This week's question comes from Elijah on Shelfari. The question is: What genre do you read, and why?

My answer: Another good question! I like to read romance or horror. Sometimes mysteries too. I find romance books easy to relate to. Or imagine what's going on. Horror is nice to settle down to scare me. Always enjoyable!

What about you?

My teaser this week is from Coraline by Neil Gaiman.

Beside the decapitated rate, a smug expression on its face, was the black cat. It rested one paw on the gray glass marble.

 Title: The Familiars
Author(s): Adam Jay Epstein & Andrew Jacobson

Jack's legs slid over, his feet coming to rest on the floor. He was still half asleep, not yet fully aware of the tenseness of the situation. Aldwyn sprang to his feet, his ears focused on a low rumbling in the distance.
"I can hear hooves in the sky,", said Kalstaff. "I fear that danger is coming sooner than I expected."

Page: 97
Chapter: 6; Midnight Visitors

See you guys next week for ANOTHER teaser!
