I’ve actually finished After You by Jojo Moyes but I just love her writing so much that I couldn’t resist using it for this weeks teaser. It’s the sequel to Me Before You which I absolutely loved, and while I’m not sure I loved this quite as much, I would definitely recommend you give it a read. It’s one of those stories that just sticks with you.

My Teaser

How could I convey the way those short months had changed the way I felt about everything? The way he had skewed my world so totally that it made no sense without him in it?

Having finished The Ask and The Answer at the weekend I’ve just started Monsters of Men, the final part of the Chaos Walking Trilogy, by Patrick Ness. I’m absolutely loving this series and can certainly see why it’s won so many awards. Anyway, here’s this week’s teaser.

My Teaser

War makes monsters of men.

“Wrong,” says the Mayor. “It’s war that makes us men in the first place. Until there’s war, we are only children.”

This week I’m reading the second book in Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking series, The Ask and the Answer. Really enjoying this series, the writing style is so unique and draws you into the world and the story.  It’s a world where you can hear the thoughts of the animals so I was very tempted to go with a couple of those sentences (which do make me laugh) but decided on the following teaser.

My Teaser

I burn with the stupidity of how easy they trapped me, how easy it was to use her against me. I burn with the shame of crying at the beating (shut up). I burn with the ache of being taken from her again, the ache of her promise to me, the ache of not knowing what’s going to happen to her now.

This week I’m between books. I just finished A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab and am suffering from an almighty book hangover. It is such a good book I need a couple of days to recover from it before I start anything else or post a review. In the meantime here’s a teaser from it.

My Teaser

“My life is mine to spend,” she said. “And I will not spend it here, no matter how nice your city is, or how much safer it might be.”

If anyone hasn’t read it yet I would definitely recommend.

This week I’m reading The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. It’s about a librarian who travels to alternate realities to retrieve books. Bit of a mixture of detective story, science fiction and fantasy with some steampunk thrown in for good measure.

My Teaser

Irene paused, considering what words she could use that wouldn’t get her into trouble later if repeated elsewhere. She personally liked Coppelia, but words such as Machiavellian, efficiently unprincipled, and ice-hearted didn’t always go down well in conversations.

This week I’m reading Clockwork Prince, the second in the Infernal Devices series. I love Cassandra Clare’s writing so there was no way I could limit myself to just two sentences.

My Teaser

His breath against her ear made her shudder with each deliberately spoken word. “I have wanted to do this,” he said, “every moment of every hour of every day that I have been with you since the day I met you. But you know that. You must know. Don’t you?”

If she doesn’t want him I do.

Happy reading everyone.
