Teaser Tuesday: “Let’s Get Lost” by Adi Alsaid

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!

My Current Read:

“Well, everyone needs at least one long road trip in their lives,” Walter said. “I was probably about your age when I did mine.”

Months, he thought to himself, his fingers practically buzzing at the touch of her skin. I’ll be thinking about her for months. 

What teasers are you sharing this week?


Don’t forget to tell me in the comments or on twitter; @LittleMemoirs. You can also use #LetsGetLost on twitter if you’re reading it! 


happy reading!

Teaser Tuesday: “Time Between Us” by Tamara Ireland Stone

Teaser Tuesdays, as hosted by MizB on Should Be Reading, is a weekly meme where bloggers, or anyone, can come up with two (or however many you want) teasers of their current read, without giving away any spoilers, but enough to entice readers to add it to their TBR lists.

Description: Anna and Bennett were never supposed to meet: she lives in 1995 Chicago and he lives in 2012 San Francisco. But Bennett has the unique ability to travel through time and space, which brings him into Anna’s life, and with him a new world of adventure and possibility.


As their relationship deepens, the two face the reality that time may knock Bennett back to where he belongs, even as a devastating crisis throws everything they believe into question. Against a ticking clock, Anna and Bennett are forced to ask themselves how far they can push the bounds of fate, what consequences they can bear in order to stay together, and whether their love can stand the test of time.

Fresh, exciting, and deeply romantic, Time Between Us is a stunning, spellbinding debut from an extraordinary new voice in YA fiction.

 Dad cups his hands against the glass and looks into the driver’s window. “How on earth did you lock your keys in a car that’s in reverse?”
Even from this distance I can see how young he looks. Younger than the first time I saw him. 
What’s your teaser tuesday?

Top Ten Tuesday: Authors Who Deserve More Recognition

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly
meme created at The Broke and the Bookish, where bloggers come up
with their Top Ten Lists on different questions/subjects.


This week we’re talking about Authors who deserve more recognition. There are tons of amazing Authors out there that deserve a whole lot more of recognition than they get, but these are the ten that I think could definitely be the author of your next favourite book…if you haven’t heard of them/picked their novel up, that is. Onwards!
 
 
 
1. Rachel Vincent
Anyone who has ever read one of the Soul Screamers books will know what I’m talking about. Rachel writes with realistic paranormal factors that wrap you up in the storyworld, which is something I love.
2. Melissa de la Cruz
The Blue Bloods series is seriously addictive. Melissa sure knows how to write a series of incredibly enthralling plots and characters.
3. Essie Fox
I only just read Essie’s book “Elijah’s Mermaid” a few months ago, and after reading it, soon got her previous book too. Pick up a copy and you won’t be sorry.
4. Christopher Pike
Sort of a popular horror YA writer, Christopher’s books are already quite big, but they deserve so much more recognition than they have right now.
5. Morgan Matson
Morgan’s book “Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour” is one of my all time favourite Summer reads. The world needs a little more amazement and you get them in the storyworld’s of Morgan Matson’s.
6. Sarra Manning
She writes YA and Adult, Sarra is multi-talented when it comes to a good book. Adorkable is seriously cute and more people need to pick it up!
7. Carrie Vaughn
Kitty’s adventures are always a pleasure to read, and I’m surprised that I haven’t seen Carrie’s books around more. They’re addictive.
8. Sarah Singleton
I bought two of Sarah’s books on a whim and it was the best spur of the moment ever. The Century is definitely a favourite of mine.
9. Lara Chapman
Flawless is hilariously amazing and anyone who doesn’t have it is seriously missing out! It’s got everything you want in a YA read; friendship, drama and romance…
10. Cynthia Hand
Unearthly…what a novel. I haven’t seen Cynthia’s novels around blogs very much but I’m sure that won’t be for long! Unearthly was out a while ago (and some other of her books) but it’s still worth a read, I loved it!
 
I hope
you loved my TTT list, and please do post your links below and tell me what you
think of my list and I’ll stop by your posts, too! I also follow back on bloglovin! (GFC is gone, so *please *follow using the button below or on the side of my blog…)

happy
