Teaser Tuesday- May 17, 2011

Sorry I've been so out of sync, y'all. There is just so much going on right now to wrap up the year, but I'm back for Teaser Tuesdays!

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!

"His face was the color of winter sky just before it rained. Clary watched him go, biting her lip hard-it was the first time since her mother had gone to the hospital that she realized maybe Simon wasn't too happy either."

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare, pg. 17

I'm totally loving this series so far. Simon is my fave :)

Have an awesome Tuesday, everybody!

Teaser Tuesday!

I got the following meme from Dana Huff's blog.

"The empty frames looked like bones picked clean. Clary felt a scream rising from the back of her chest: 'Mom!' she shrieked.  'Where are you? Mommy?' "

Pg. 49 of  City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

So far, I am about 266 pages in (if you're on GoodReads, you may follow my progress here) and it is AMAZING! There is a spoiler that I've already figured out (silly English teacher in me), but I hear it gets better. The plot is phenomal. There are so many twists and turns.

Clare's writing is just out of this world, especially for a young adult novel. I love her use of metaphors, similes, and imagery especially.
