Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.
To play along just do the following:
Talon by Julie Kagawa.
Do you hear that whooshing noise? That’s my good intentions going out the window, don’t mind them if they rush past you. I wanted to wait until the trilogy was complete before I started this book even if I already had it on my shelf, because I know what the author will most likely do to me again ... two series have taught me that. But then I found out that there are going to be five books and there is no way that I was going to wait that long. So emotional roller coaster torture it is.
I really like Julie Kagawa’s kind of humour. It’s not always laughing out loud funny (though it can be that, too), but also surprised snort laughing. Kind of like what Ember does to Garret the first time they meet. I predict disastrous heartbreak with wrongful accusations and terrible misunderstandings. Maybe even a severe dose of triangularity. And don’t correct me, if I’m wrong. In that case, I’d like to be surprised.
Whom could you have eaten for breakfast lately? Alternatively tell me if you’re giving a series a head start before you catch up to it at the moment.
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!
Talon by Julie Kagawa.

“I’ll be back at 0500. If you don’t hear from me in a couple hours, I’ve probably been eaten by a dragon.”
“Fine. If you don’t hear from me by then, it’s because I hope you were.”
— Part I/10
“Kristin, I swear, if I have to watch you try on shoes for an hour, I’m going to eat your boyfriend. With a fork.”
— Part I/19

I haven't read the series. I should. Your teasers made me chuckle.
My TT
I haven't read this, but I do like her writing. Enjoy!
LOL. I like the sounds of this one!
My teaser this week is from an inspirational novel, which I really enjoyed:

This was a good story. My YA teaser this week comes from Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George. Happy reading!
I understand about good intentions going out the window. LOL That happens to me sometimes too.
I do like these teasers quite a bit and have been curious about this author for some time now. Thanks for sharing!
I love that cover -- simple and yet striking. I haven't heard of this series, but it sounds like a good one.
My Tuesday post features SERENA.
Oh my god, this sounds freakn' awesome. So, so, so up my alley. Is the second teaser from the dragon's POV? Awesome.
