Teaser Tuesday #10

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if I don't get to comment back straight away. I'm still catching up on my STS comments, and there will probably be delays in my comments for a little while longer. I have a lot of assessments due over the coming weeks for uni and that, of course, has to come first. 

Secondly, I want to give a huge THANK YOU to all my lovely followers! I can't believe over 150 people follow me. When I started I didn't think I'd even get 50! You guys are awesome! And to say thank you to you all I want to do a giveaway. I'm not 100% sure when I'll get time to organise it but I promise I'll do one soon. I appreciate every one of you and it's the least I can do for you! 

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!   

" "It has a discriminating ear," observed Orma, a tall, angular acquaintance of my father's who came over often in those days. Orma called me "it" as if I were a dog; I was drawn to his aloofness, the way cats gravitate toward people who'd rather avoid them." 
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, p. 1

I've only just started this and it was chosen thanks to the requests for me to read this on a previous post =)
