Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To play along just do the following:
The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan.
There are several witty and funny headings ready for what just happened, but the reality is that I was completely uninspired by my current reads to pick a teaser and then I started (not so) absently browsing and miraculously (as it happens) ended up on my trusted book retailer site. And while I was wondering which book to pick, I thought about books I desperately want to read ... like Sarah Rees Brennan’s Unmade, which isn’t out until September. Next thing I know, my kobo is updating with my latest purchase ... must be the Irish elves at work ... or something. But honestly, those first two sentences are sort of perfect and if I can’t trust my fragile reader’s heart into the hands of ... oh, wait, what have I done?! (For the record: I know what I did and I’m perfectly fine with it ... more than that, should have done this much earlier) *walks happily glum into certain despair*
What are your latest impulse buys? Or do you have an iron-clad purchase regimen? Let’s hear from you in the comments.
To 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!
The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan.

The pipe under the sink was leaking again. It wouldn’t have been so bad, except that Nick kept his favorite sword under the sink.

I'm not sure it's my kind of book, but I"m glad you are enjoying it. I don't do a lot of impulse buys. I tend to over-think everything.
I'm spotlighting The Moon Sisters this week.
