[Teaser Tuesdays]: September 9

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by 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!



I'm so glad I found so many new books (at least 'new' as to me) and already put them on my TBR list:

Already ordered and currently waiting:


17623975          19063          6936382          3636

It was so hard for me to get The Giver with original cover, and eventually I had to settle with the international edition one. I don't know why but for me personally, the original one is more tempting than the newest.

On my TBR list:

3521484          6624871          8470445          8079815


6763730          18054175          8475505          10757749


8922087          8527904          9464733          6665671


82434          9711714


Eighteen books! I don't know how my pocket and myself will keep up with them at the end! But I'm gonna find out soon (a sad story of a frustrated bookworm lol)

Meanwhile, below is my Teaser Tuesday for this week!

It was rather difficult for me to find a proper teaser for this book, since every chapter is so short and there is almost nothing I could write that is not really a spoiler.

This should have been a weekly post, but living on the 21th floor for the past few weeks didn't give me the benefit of proper internet connection.

This are the list of the books I ordered and been waiting to arrive:
  • Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
  • The Selection by Kiera Cass

  • City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare

                                                  New Feature(s) on the Blog                                                  


If you take a look at the bottom of the sidebar, you will find a gadget which displays song I currently listen to or like. I have a habit of reading with music as accompaniment, even though most of the time I'll tend to sing along to the song and forget about the book on my hands lol. The song might be the hippest on the music realm, and might be just a throwback one. Do you share the same reading habit as mine? :D
