My teasers:

"When people learn I have a twin, the first thing they ask is whether we're identical. Unless, of course they see Alex and me together, in which case their brows furrow and their eyes squint and you can almost see their brains clog with confusion as they stutter, 'Twins? But. . . but . . . you look nothing alike.'"

"Daddy, Shawna says that Emily Parker is your new girlfriend. Is that true?" Chrissy said.

Oh, I thought, staring at the just-slammed door. Okay. Now I got it. Like I said, men are dumb.

My teasers:

"Give me two weeks to work on some cockamamie scenario about engagement rings and shopping sprees and bridesmaid dresses and impossibly dreamy guys, and voila! Hello publication. Not exactly the way I'd dreamed of getting my name (or my cousin's) into print, but like the Stones once sang, you can't always get what you want. So chick-lit it is."

My teasers:

"She turned just in time to see one of the players rushing toward her at full speed, his head craning to catch sight of the wayward ball. She didn't have time to react before he slammed into her. She felt him grab her shoulders in a simultaneous attempt to stop his momentum and prevent her from falling."

My teasers:

"She wished she knew why these girls seemed to be studying her so intently. She detested the way it made her feel⎯uncertain, threatened, and suddenly exhausted. Over the past few weeks she had imagined this moment hundreds of times, the moment she would arrive at her new school and begin her new life, but she had never imagined it would be quite this difficult, this confusing, this intimidating."

My teasers:

"Carlie stares rapt at the camera, perched there on the edge of her white leather settee, alert. It's as if she is but moments away from lunging at the camera. I hope I am correct in believing all the evidence that says she's fine up there without me, because I don't think right now I can watch anymore."

My teasers:

"The casket is closed-talk about a bad hair day-but I am being buried in a red dress. Okay it's more burgundy, but one thing that's putting a smile on my face (only metaphorically, unfortunately) is that for all eternity I will get to wear this dress, which cost way too much, even 40 percent off at Barneys, where I rarely shop because it's generally a rip-off."

My teasers:

"The car is eviscerated. The impact of a four-ton pickup truck going sixty miles an hour plowing straight into the passenger side had the force of an atom bomb."
~p. 13, If I Stay by Gayle Forman~

Tuesday Teasers

My teaser for this week:



"Hey, speaking of Felicia," I said, settling in, "did she ever mention anything to you about the Legacy?"

"The Legacy? No. Doesn't sound familiar. What is it?"
(p. 45)

Tuesday Teasers

My teaser for this week:

"She treats me like a fragile heirloom. Doesn't she know I am the delicate vase that has already fallen off the mantel into a million pieces on the floor? I can't break any more."

Tuesday Teasers

My teaser for this week:



"Janie stopped writing, pushing herself into a memory from her childhood. She hungered for moments like this, when her brain let itself be distracted with events that had occurred before the day her life had come to a grinding, colorless halt."

Tuesday Teasers

My teaser for this week:

"She didn't hear the car until it was almost on top of her. She was approaching her Lexus, right arm extended, thumb on the button of the remote to unlock the driver's door, when a silver-colored SUV came careening around the corner toward her."

Tuesday Teasers

My teaser sentences are:

"You don't understand. I can't tell my mother Robin is lying here like this." Kathryn would blame her. Instantly. Even before she knew that it truly was Molly's fault.
