Teaser Tuesday: March 29, 2011

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. It is a meme that lets you see what your fellow bloggers are reading and gives you a glimpse at books you may want to read. Anyone can participate so long as they follow the rules:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
4. PLEASE DON'T SHARE SPOILERS! Try not to give away too much with your selection.
5. Share the title, author, and page numbers so that others can add it to their to-be-read list if they want.

My teaser of the week:

"Aislinn stayed silent until it was time to go to afternoon classes, her fingernails digging small half circles --like slivers of the sun-- into her palms. She concentrated on the pain of those suns, only partially visible in her skin, and wondered if she had any chance at all of escaping from Keenan's attention."

This selection comes from page 87 of the Nook edition of Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. So far, I'm still having trouble deciding about this book. I will say that I was absolutely thrilled to see Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market" referenced. It's one of my favorite poems.
