Teaser Tuesday: Paranormalcy

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 "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists!


This week my teaser is from Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. I've read a few hyped-up books lately that didn't live up to my expectations, but I think this one is going to break my losing streak. I'm only 50 pages in, but already I'm really enjoying it. The story gets right down to business, I'm digging the set-up, and Evie is a trip! From page 10:

Paranormalcy"Man, high school must be awesome." I found myself wishing I could be part of normal drama for once. Paranormal drama didn't have nearly as much kissing.






And look at that! I kept it to two lines for once!
Got a teaser? Please leave a comment with a link!

    This was a fun story. I love her unrealistic view of high school. I have two this week. My YA teaser is from Five Flavors of Dumb and my adult teaser is from The Iron Duke. Happy reading!

    I have got to read that book! It's on my kindle, just have so many books stacked in the tbr pile before it. Maybe they'll get shoved aside.

    I loved this one. I loved her obsession with pink. I hold a similar obsession.
