Teaser Tuesday - it's Tuesday!


ugh!  It's Tuesday on a week away from work, and I thought I was going to be able to focus on reading- instead I seem to be fighting yet another cold, and unable to focus on reading, or even watching a show.  
On the positive side, I don't have to get dressed for work or be anywhere, so I have time to just...get over a cold.  :)
And the weather is nice in the afternoon - cold morning and nights, but we are having beautiful afternoons. :)
It's Tuesday, which also means that it is time for Teaser Tuesdays hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading.
We grab our current read
turn to a page,
post two sentences from the page
No Spoilers (very important)
Then post a link on MizB's post in comments.

My current read is The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong.  The Awakening features Chloe Saunders, a necromancer who has recently found her necromancer skills....at the moment, she's in quite a predicament...

The Awakening
Young Adult/urban fantasy
from page 157

'     My father was offering a half-million-dollar reward for information leading to my safe return.  There was a picture of me-last year's school photo.  And there was one of him, at what looked like a news conference.'
I hope to read some teasers, today!

Teaser Tuesday!


Some of my favorite writers are writing new and exciting things.

Ilona Andrews (the hubby/wife team) are is continuing the Kate Daniels series and starting a completely new series with Avon - one that doesn't fit any of the current genres... this is something I'm looking forward to.

J.A. Campbell - writer of The Clanless series (there is a third Clanless novel coming) and those fun Doc the Vampire Hunting Dog, is continuing the Dog trend by writing more about Doc's ancester, Brown.  Brown is the dog who helps her owner hunt ghosts...and therefore she is Brown, the Ghost Hunting dog; and there's a SciFi element coming soon to Brown's story.  I love SciFi.  I'm telling you, this woman can write.  She writes fantasy, urban fiction, urban dog fiction, historical dog fiction, young adult, steampunk, dragons, anything she puts her mind on, she can make a story out of it.  Watch out for whatever she comes up with next!  I'm anticipating .....

I'm excited about these upcoming new reads....
but in the meantime...


Tuesday Teaser is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.  We read, We post a snippet, We tease.  
No spoilers

click on cover for excerpt
I've been reading Dead Things 
page 185

' "You've got this look on your face like a dog trying to figure out physics."
  "Just thinking. Looks different in the daytime." And when it's not on fire with a burning Toyota  jammed through the front. '

A little different, and interesting... I'm enjoying this so far.  :)


Tonight's LOL Catz are from the Cheezeburger site.  The only one I captioned is the one I used as the Teaser Tuesday badge...  but I wish that I had come up with the other Basement Cat captions, aren't they good?
