[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!

~p. 66, "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr.
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.

    Wow, sounds like it must move right along then if there are so many spoilers in it! I think my husband read this one.

      thanks for the comment, Karen. Hmm, considering those 530 pages, i think the plot flows with normal pace. What does your husband say about this book? I hope it's a good one! :)

    I'm really curious now. Good tease. It didn't spoil anything and made me really want to read the book.I like short chapters too. The book reads fast then.

    Look at all your lovely finds! I enjoyed The Giver Quartet; will you be reading the entire series? It's good!

    Your teaser has me curious as to why the windows are suddenly covered in blood; gah!

      thanks for your comment, Claudia. Yes, I'm planning to read the whole series. I already ordered the third book actually. the second will be acquired through loan via local library, and i'm still thinking whether to buy or borrow the fourth book.

      err, actually i want to tell you what's happening in the teaser, but it'll be a spoiler then lol
      All the Light We Cannot See is a very good book. You should try it :)

    Yikes! The windows go black with blood? Something tells me this is not a happy tale... I hope you enjoy it, and that you get a chance to read all the great books you've discovered!

      thanks for the comment, Kerry. Yeah, it's not really happy this far. But I don't know, I have the tendency in liking depressing and unhappy stories. Sounds creepy, aren't I? lol
