Teaser Tuesday



Teaser Tuesday ask you:

Grab your current read.

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!
  • My Current Read is Northern Lights by Nora Roberts which I started a few months ago and put it down to read something else. There has been a TV Movie that was on lifetime this past week so I plan on reading it to finish it up anyways although I know the ending based on the movie.

    “Her Breath Steamed out as she fired again and obliterated what was left.”

    “Then she picked up her spent shells,walked back inside and replaced the rifle.”

    Book Description--

    From Publishers Weekly
    Roberts shines again with a nuanced tale of the Alaskan wilderness and the appealing eccentrics who cluster there. Former Baltimore cop Nate Burke accepts the unlikely post of police chief of Lunacy, Alaska (pop. 506), to stave off the depression caused by divorce and the traumatic death of his partner, for which he holds himself partly responsible. His early days in the close-knit town are quiet except for minor disturbances and a dalliance with a feisty bush pilot, Meg Galloway. Then Meg's father, who disappeared 16 years before, is found frozen in a remote mountain cave, an ice ax in his chest. The discovery that Pat Galloway was murdered—most likely by a local—shakes up the town and drives his murderer to commit a second, cover-up killing. Though state authorities dismiss that death as suicide, Nate pursues it as a crime—a decision that puts him at odds with many outspoken Lunatics, as the townspeople call themselves. With quiet inexorability he fields the flak, uncovers long-forgotten events and finds a tough but loving balance with the fiercely independent Meg. Though billed as romantic suspense, the novel forsakes artificial genre conventions in favor of a wry, affectionate look at community bonds, generational wounds and soul-testing landscapes. The result is a richly textured novel that captures the intimacy of smalltown police work, the prickliness of the pioneer spirit and the paradox of a setting at once intimate and expansive, welcoming and hostile, indisputably American and yet profoundly exotic to those in the Lower 48.

    Danielle Steel 
    Nicholas Sparks  
    Patricia Cornwell
    Nora Roberts
    James Patterson

    I would love to Eventually read all the works from all my favorite Authors but with a 2 year old running around sometimes thats just not possible.  I’m Currently reading “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer and “The Shack” by William P. Young . Yes,I know to completely different books. LOL a little good and a little evil   Anyways,I’ve not reading much since having a child 2 years ago but,trying to get back into it once again….

     

    I wanted to tell all of you that keeps up with my blog(s) about a Great Program that you should really invest in especially if you enjoy reading as much as I do. Its called Stanza please click on the link to get more info. Its FREE app you Can get through the Apple iTunes App Store with the same name. There are various Sites I guess you can call them through the app you can go to to get Various Ebooks to read. If you love reading and don’t want to have to carry a book around with you then this is the App to get. Now don’t get me wrong the Kindle is on my wishlist and it would be great to have but,this is an alternative if you already carry an iPhone or iPod Touch around like I do!  There is over 100,000 books and periodicals you can read and if you get the Stanza program for the Mac or Windows you can sync even more books to your read list. I’ve found some great ebooks at GeturBooks that you can save to your computer and then you can open it with the Computer Stanza program where you can choose to Share it and then you sync it through your ipod or iphone. If you want more help just leave me a comment and I would be glad to help your further. If your into reading then this is the program for you and I HIGHLY recommend it! I’ve read the first Part of Twilight in a few mins time. Its highly addictive…I plan on using it more in the future so check it out today!!
