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

1. Grab your current read

2. Open to a random page

3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

4. 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!)

5. 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 this week is from page 130 of hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I'm actually not even this far into the book; I just started last week. However, it's not really grabbing me, so I decided to read ahead a bit. Not too far ahead; just enough to see if this is actually worth reading! It looks like it might get interesting here pretty soon:

"I thought you'd been kidnapped!" Vee went on. "I thought you'd been abducted! I thought you were murdered!"

My teaser this week comes from page 8 of Thirsty by Tracey Bateman. Enjoy!

He knelt over her, reached out his forefinger, and drew a line down the side of her neck. His heart rate picked up in anticipation, like a young lover preparing for a first kiss.

My teaser today comes from page 255 of ArchEnemy by Frank Beddor. This is the third book of The Looking Glass Wars which is a reimagined, steampunk-ish version of Alice in Wonderland. The two previous books were awesome, and so far I'm really enjoying this one as well.

"To try and save them would be to reveal yourself to Arch," Dodge warned. "You'd be risking your life and imagination and everything we fight to achieve for Wonderland. There's nothing you can do for them." He gestured to where the images of the Liddells had just been. "Unfortunately."

My teaser today comes from page 43 of The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. I've seen a lot of people reading and loving this book, so I thought I'd give it a shot. So far (34 pages into it!) I'm really enjoying it! Read on:

"There is always a choice, Mary," Sister Tabitha says to me, standing with her feet braced against the steps, the lower half of her body still concealed belowground. "It is what makes us human, what separates us from them."

Here is the crock pot chili and homemade cornbread I made for dinner this evening. The chili is the "Presidential Chili" from Stephanie O'Dea's crock pot cookbook, Make it Fast, Cook it Slow, and the cornbread is from the September/October edition of Clean Eating magazine. Both were really easy to make and both came out perfectly delicious!

For the chili I used extra lean ground turkey (original recipe calls for ground chicken), and most of our home grown red and green bell peppers and our tomatoes. I was really excited that the meal came out so well and look forward to trying more crock pot recipes throughout the winter.
