Teaser Tuesday:  Flawed Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Jenn @ A Daily Rhythm . Here are the rules: grab whatever you're reading, open to a random page, select no more than two sentence (NO SPOILERS), share the title and author, and GO! Here's today's teaser: "I've learned that to be courageous is to feel fear within, every step of the way.  Courage does not take over, it fights and struggles through every word you say and every step you take.  It's a battle or a dance as to whether to let it pervade.  It takes courage to overcome, but it takes extreme fear to be courageous." --page 107           Flawed by Cecelia Ahern I'm a big fan of Cecelia Ahern's books and this is her first foray into the YA genre.  It's pretty good so are! Happy reading!

Here's today's teaser: "They are rough and hurried, like they don't consider eyelids worthy of gentleness.  It makes you realize how little in life we touch one another's eyes.  Maybe your parents will hold an eyelid up to get out a piece of dirt, or maybe your boyfriend will kiss your eyelids, light as a butterfly, just before you drift off to sleep.  But eyelids are not like elbows or knees or shoulders, parts of the body accustomed to being jostled." --page 63           If I Stay by Gayle Forman Been meaning to read this for a while now...finally getting around to it. Happy reading!

Teaser Tuesday...Adventures in Arranged Marriages

This week's teaser comes from Ally Condie's Matched , the first in a series! "I smiled back.  There's no point telling her that I'm thinking about the wrong boy.  No, not the wrong boy.  Ky may be an Aberration but there's nothing about him that is defective.  It's our Government and their classification system and all their systems that are wrong.  Including the Matching System" (220). I'm kind of excited for this read :)
