Teaser Tuesday: Shatter Me

Hi, everybody! :)

Teaser Tuesdays is an awesome meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading that lets us be major teases for a day. It's really fun, and I love to participate whenever I'm reading a book I feel the world needs to hear about!

The Rules: 

• 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!

Shatter Me by Maggie Stiefvater

MY TEASER:

I have no idea where I am. 

I only know that I was transported by someone in a white van who drove 6 hours and 37 minutes to get me here. I know I was handcuffed to my seat. I know I was strapped to my chair. I know my parents never bothered to say good bye. I know I didn't cry as I was taken away. 

I know the sky falls down every day.

~Juliette on pg. 1-2

I just started this one last night and I already know it's going to be one of those books that will take forever to write a review for. It's absolutely AMAZING! I love Tahereh Mafi's prose, and the way some of Juliette's throughts are written with a strike through it. :)

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

MY TEASER:

And there is the girl. When I first see her and her dun mare from my vantage point on the cliff road, I am struck first not by the fact that she is a girl, but the fact that she's in the ocean. It's the dreaded second day, the day when people start to die, and no one will get close to the surf. But there she is, trotting up to the knee in the water. Fearless. 

~Sean Kendrick about Kate/Puck Connolly on pg. 97-98

I'm almost done this book and I can't even tell you how much I'm LOVING it so far! Maggie Stiefvater is such an amazing author and this whole "killer water horses" thing is genius! :)

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

My Teaser

"Trains are great dirty smoky things," said Will. "You won't like it." 

Tessa was unmoved. "I won't know if I like it until I try it, will I?" 

"I've never swum naked in the Thames before, but I know I wouldn't like it." 

"But think how entertaining for sightseers," said Tessa, and she saw Jem duck his head to hide the quick flash of his grin.

~Will, Tessa, and Jem on pg. 75 (cited from an ARC and is subject to change)

There is honestly nothing better than Shadowhunter humor (except maybe Will Herondale)! I didn't want to give any spoilers away, but I can't wait until you guys can buy this in December too  — it's SO GOOD! :)
