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!
