Teaser Tuesday!

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!

My teaser for today: Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford

p. 14 - "Teenage guys from all over the area show up at Meriian Pool now, like it's church. Religious attendance, absolute devotion, and everybody wants to get saved."

I Got my Prize - Thanks Kristen!

I just wanted to send out a thank you to Kristen for the awesome book that I won from her contest at Bookworming in the 21st century! I am planning to start it today on my way to the superbowl party!

Another contest! -- Soul Screamers!

I just joined a contest at Library Lounge Lizard - Soul Screamers written by Rachel Vincent- I have recently discovered these books and loved them! Check out the contest and the books!

I am a WINNER! (at least this once)

I am finally a winner - if only for this one moment. I am pleased to say that I have won first prize, which is my choice of book (up to $25 on amazon.com), in a contest from Bookworming in the 21st Century called 600+ follower contest.

I rarely win anything, although I do love to occasionally "donate" at the casino, so I was very excited to find that I did actually win. I thought that choosing my prize would be easy, my wish list on amazon is pages long...but choosing just one - - which one.... so I finally decided that I would choose a book from an author that I love to read, but isn't YA, Tami Hoag . The book is Deeper than the Dead.

I seem to readily buy books that I can share with the students, but seem to wait to buy books just for me. This was a great way for me to be selfish and choose something for just one person. Thanks so much Kristen!
