I recently read Everything I Was by Corinne Demas, and I was charmed by this book. The protagonist is doing her best to cope with her family’s financial hardships, and to make sense of it as well.
“Meg laughed, and I laughed. And although it wasn’t very funny, we kept laughing and when either of us stopped, the other’s laughter started us up again. I don’t know what we were laughing about, really, but for us it was the way we became friends, laughing that way, laughing about nothing.”
I just started reading Malinda Lo’s follow up to the wonderful Ash. Huntress has an awesome cover, and it takes place centuries before the events in Ash. I have high hopes for this one!
Here is the first sentence: “She saw a beach made of ice, and she felt her heart breaking.”
Doesn’t the cover rock??
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!
Love both your teasers and cannot wait to read your reviews of these books.
Great teasers. I read Everything I Was a few weeks ago and I thought it was really cute.
Huntress looks interesting but I haven’t read Ash.

I’ve been wondering about The Huntress! I love the cover and it sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing the teasers, Julie. The beach covered in ice piqued my interest—alot!

The teaser from Huntress is intriguing. Why would that sight break her heart ? What is she thinking off ? …
