My teaser is from Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

He’d said they’d be best friends again, once she was pretty. But the way he’d looked at her face . . . maybe that was why they separated uglies from pretties.

So my teaser this week is from the book, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's been on my bookshelf for awhile now, but I never picked it up. So I'm reading it now.

A part of me wanted badly to tell him what was going on, and I suppose I knew that to do anything else would be to betray the trust we'd built up since the moment I'd reminded him about his polo shirt. And for me to strap up his arm in a splint would have meant my becoming one of the main perpetrators of the joke.

"Talk About It" + Teaser Tuesday

I love memes...

"Talk About It" Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at Thoughts of a Book Junky. You're meant to spotlight new and upcoming authors or books that you're dying to read.

So my pick is The Dead Detective by William Heffernan, which comes out on October 1st, 2010. It sounds like an awesome mystery/thriller with hints of supernatural. It's my kind of book and I can't wait to read it!

Harry Doyle was murdered as a ten-year-old child and brought back to life by two Tampa cops. Twenty years later he has dedicated his life to putting killers behind bars as a homicide detective who has the unwanted ability to hear the postmortem whispers of murder victims. Dubbed "The Dead Detective" by his fellow cops, Doyle now faces his most difficult case - a beautiful murder victim who was a notorious child molester. It is a case that will shake Harry to his very core.

 I just recently finished the Twilight series and I remembered that I owned The Host. I never had the chance to read it, so I'm doing so now.

That's how we realized you were here, you know, she said, thinking of the sickening news headlines again. When the evening news was nothing but inspiring human-interest stories, when pedophiles and junkies were lining up at the hospitals to turn themselves in, when everything morphed into Mayberry, that's when you tipped your hand.

I wonder what news headline they are talking about, I need to go finish reading this. I'm only on page 44.
