Teaser Tuesday: To All the Boys I've Loved Before

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly feature hosted by Should Be Reading where we tease our readers with quotes from the books we're reading.

All you have to do to participate is grab your current read, open to a random page and share 2 teasers from that page (make sure there's no spoilers!)

My book this week is:

To All the Boys I've Loved Before
By Jenny Han
Publication Date: April 15, 2014
Hardcover, 355 pages


'Margot would say she belongs to herself. Kitty would say she belongs to no one. And I guess I would say I belong to my sisters and my dad, but that won't always be true. To belong to someone - I didn't know it, but now that I think about, it seems like that's all I've ever wanted. To really be somebody's, to have them be mine.' (page 190)

'"No, I've never had a boyfriend. But plenty of people I know have had boyfriends but they've never once been in love. I've been in love." That's why I'm doing this.' (page 191)



Since today is the release date of this book, I'm giving it full treatment! I got it early, but I'm hoping everyone else goes out to buy it today! Happy Book Birthday, Jenny Han!

Tahereh Mafi

Paperback, 408 pages

Teaser #1

He charges forward, closing the gap between us and tackling me in a hug so fierce he practically cuts of my circulation. "Holy shit it's good to see you," he says, breathless, squeezing me tighter. (page 74)

Teaser #2

"No," I say. "I don't. And I just thought you should know I'm not trying to fix you. I don't think you need to be fixed. I'm not trying to turn you into someone else. I only want you to be who you really are. Because I think I know the real you. I think I've seen him." (page 184)

Ok, these are teasing me! I can't wait to dive further into this book. 

Teaser Tuesday: The Lives We Lost

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!

So my plan for this post was a review of The Lives We Lost, for the Fallen World Street Team, but unfortunately I just received the book today so I haven't had a chance to read it yet (or start it for that matter!) So I'll do the second best thing and tease you all a little with some quotes! This is the second book in the series, the first being The Way We Fall, so if it sounds good, go pick up the first book!

"If I'd had enough blood to give, I would have tried to cure every patient here, but dying in the attempt wouldn't have helped anyone." 

"And outside, the endless wind beat at the walls, and the endless snow rasped against the windows, on and on and on"

First, the virus took Kaelyn’s friends. Then, her family. Now it’s taken away her home.

But she can't look back—the life she once had is gone forever.

A deadly virus has destroyed Kaelyn’s small island community and spread beyond the quarantine. No one is safe. But when Kaelyn finds samples of a vaccine in her father's abandoned lab, she knows there must be someone, somewhere, who can replicate it. As Kaelyn and her friends head to the mainland, they encounter a world beyond recognition. It’s not only the “friendly flu” that’s a killer—there are people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the vaccine. How much will Kaelyn risk for an unproven cure, when the search could either destroy those she loves or save the human race?

Megan Crewe's second volume in the Fallen World trilogy is an action-packed journey that explores the resilience of friendship, the ache of lost love, and Kaelyn’s enduring hope in the face of the sacrifices she must make to stay alive.

Teaser Tuesday: Unravel Me

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

• 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 this week is from the highly anticipated sequel Unravel Me, the second book in the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. Here's a sneak peek:

"I want to say something, something right and steady and reassuring. I want to tell him that I understand, that I want the same thing, that I want him too, but the moment feels so charged and urgent that I'm half convinced I'm dreaming." page 23

"It's like a button in my brain is broken, like I've developed a disease that forces me to apologize for everything, for existing, for wanting more than what I've been given, and I can't stop." page 76

I'm not too far into the book yet, but I'm sure it'll be just as dramatic and crazy as the first. 

Goodreads description:

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

Anyone else in love with this series as much as I am?
