Teaser Tuesday #1 (Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can 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!

"Your hands are so soft." His voice sounded far away. I was losing him again.
"North, if it hurts you, if it's going to kill you-- why do you still practice magic?"
"Because," he said, his eyes drifting shut again," who am I without it?"


I loved this book and the hands comment was oddly sweet to me. It was a weird subject that got turned into something interestingly wonderful. Go read it, there are plenty more of North's compliments where that came from!

P.S. My computer will be in TOMORROW! Can you say excited! I missed him so much and when he arrives, a review is coming your way maybe one about vampires? ;)

Manic Monday

Imagine you can only keep 5 things that you have (people not included). What 5 things would you keep?
* If I could only keep 5 things that I already have it would probably have to be my bookshelf, my cat, my bed, my laptop, and my iPod touch.

What's the hardest thing you've ever had to learn?
* The hardest thing that I've ever had to learn has last week in science class, we learned how to balance chemical equations. I thought that I'd never get it, but with extra studying, it was a thing of the past.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I'm going to...
* Enjoy life for myself. I am young and a Libra. I once read that Libra's are pleasers and this Libra is. I am always worrying about someone else's feeling and thoughts before I make a lasting decision. I can honestly have panic attacks thinking about what someone else will say or think. It has been a big blockade in my life and today is the first day where my living will be my own and not affect by anyone else's.

The Blog Hop

In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and find new book-related blogs that we may be missing out on! This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books! It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs that they may not know existed! So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!

The Hop lasts Friday-Monday every week, so if you don't have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! This is a weekly event! And stop back throughout the weekend to see all the new blogs that are added!


This week's question:
How do you spread the word about your blog?
I first started out with blog directories and then I started commenting on other blogs and had a good outcome! After visiting and commenting on other sites and soon stumbled upon Follow Friday and The Blog Hop and participating has been fun and worthwhile!
