Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To play along just do the following:
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry.
In an attempt to reduce the towering Mt. TBR (don’t judge, I’m proudly below 300 books right now) I picked up this recommendation from Summer 2012. Not at all a light summer read, but still swoon-worthy and actually quite gripping. I’ll admit to surprised glances at the clock and to almost missing my bus stop. Sorry boss, I needed to finish one more chapter and public transport didn’t want to wait ... that would have worked out perfectly I’m sure.
There are a few factors in this book that are in serious danger of inducing heavy eye-rolls, but maybe I’m too mellow right now or it’s handled really well. But we’ll see what those two sort-of crazy birds will get into in the last quarter of the book.
How is you TBR faring? Mine is a presence in my life who should contribute to paying the bills. Or at least take out the trash. 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!
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry.

You can live life to please everyone else or please yourself. Come next fall, I’ll be living large at the University of Florida and forgetting that I ever made friends with people like Grace. I’ve made my decision. What’s yours?

I really like the quote: "Sometimes when you see the line, you think it's a good idea to cross id -- until you do." How amazingly true.
Yay on the below 300 books. Between physical books, e-books and the library... I don't even want to count them all up. :) Sounds like a really good book.
Mine for the week: http://www.keeperbookshelf.com/teaser-tuesday-2
Both of these are good ones. I've got this on my TBR. Good for you on lowering yours!
My TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/01/27/teaser-tuesdays-99-empty-cup-2/
My TBR is a mountain that I will never conquer, but I will have a great time trying. LOL Kudos to you for making progress.
sherry @ fundinmental My TT ~ The Lie by Ashley Fontainne
Love the first sentence of the teaser. My TBR grows by leaps and bounds. Glad you're enjoying your book! My teaser is from The Supernatural Enhancements
I feel bad but I've reduced my TBR pile by going through my Goodreads list. I remember when this book was newly released, everyone adored it but I thought it was too soppy for me at the time. I like your teasers though, mine is from The Walls Around Us:
