Here is my teaser for the week:

"W.O had not only recovered from his dystentery, he had also become adept at theft. The rest of the #4 gun squad paid no attention when he slipped off, leaving them to dig emplacements, because he returned with goodies: four pounds of bacon on one trip, and a few days later, almost two gallons of dough."     ~p.107-108, The Pacific by Hugh Ambrose

Here is my teaser for the week:

"She thought it would be safer if she were simply to pay a short visit to the vaults on a minor inspection and tell Warren to come to her at their meeting spot by the river. The information was far too dangerous even to convey in the safety of the empty vaults."  ~p.365 of Blood of the Fold by Terry Goodkind

I am still reading Blood of the Fold this week. All of the Sword of Truth books are pretty long. This one is 623 pages. I am hoping to be done by the end of the week so that I can read the book for my Thrill Me Book Club by next Wednesday. I'm afraid that I've hit a bit of a reading slump lately. What do you do when you hit a reading slump?

Teaser Tuesdays - March 16

Taken from Miz B.'s, Should Be Reading blog:

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B. of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two "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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

Here is my teaser for the week:

"'Valdora laughed. 'Oh the poison won't kill you. Just a little something to incapacitate you until I could bind you up all helpless in a web. You'll not die so easily.'"  ~p. 435 of Blood of the Fold by Terry Goodkind

I cheated a little and put more than two sentences because I thought the quote was so awesome!

Blood of the Fold is Book 3 of the Sword of Truth series. We are currently reading it on the Fantasy/Science Fiction Book of the Month group on Shelfari. If you are interested in the series, you can buy the books in boxed sets of three on Amazon or Barnes & Noble which I highly recommend. It's much cheaper than buying them individually, but you also have to buy them online to get them cheap. They are much more expensive in-store at Barnes & Noble.

"'He was brought in unconscious, bleeding to death, so there was no time to use less stringent methods of anesthesia. It'll take awhile to revive from the chemicals.'"  ~p. 211 of The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey

The Rowan is the Book of the Month in the Anne McCaffrey and All Her Worlds group on Shelfari. I have to admit that I wasn't jazzed about reading it when I saw the cover, but I am really enjoying it. I can't wait to start on the next book in the series, and I'm not even finished with this book!

I am reading Bridget Jones's Diary for the Read the Book, See the Movie Challenge hosted at C.B. James' blog. I'm enjoying the book so far, and now I'm really aching to see the movie again.

"'Everything he does has the ring of American audacity. He pushes and shoves with little or no finesse, taking credit where none is his, claiming kills when he had nothing to do with them.'"  ~p.259 The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

I am reading The Bourne Identity for the Read the Book, See the Movie Challenge hosted at C.B. James' blog. So far, nothing that I've read reminded me of the movie, but I haven't seen the movie in years so I'm going to rewatch it.

I am still reading Stone of Tears this week. I hope to be done by Thursday. It's almost 1000 pages, and I just don't read as fast as some people. It's really good so far though! I'll post my review as soon as I finish!
