"A month later, after the first big waves of deaths, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a five-step list of symptoms to help parents identify whether their kid was at risk for IAAN. By then half my class was dead." 1%

And because I'm loving this so much, here is a second one:

"I heard a scream, and didn't realize it had belonged to me until that same black monster's head swivelled toward us. Liam  jumped at the ten gun barrels that swung our way. The first bullet was close enough to nick his ear as it whistled by. There wasn't even time to turn and run." - 66%

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!

" "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 =)

"But somehow I do keep moving forward, farther into darkness, until cold steel clamps down on my leg. I scream as it digs into my skin and beings drawing me back - back to the light and the men in boots, back to the Guild." - Loc 188 5%, Crewel by Gennifer Albin

"I should have noticed something was wrong. Even though the cleaner chamber was receding further and further behind me, the sound of machinery remained. The humming grew louder as I walked, but I was so relieved at my escape that I didn't give it a second's thought.
And so when I reached an intersection of the tunnels and rounded the corner to come face to face with a pixie, I could do nothing but stare stupidly."

"He stormed across the room, stopping inches from me. His hands touched each side of my face. "What are we doin', Pidge?" My eyes began at his belt and then rose over the muscles and tattoos of his stomach and chest, finally settling on the warm brown of his irises. "You tell me." "

"Before I could slip away, Goody's phone jangled, and his message button flashed fire-engine red. "Hold your caballo. It's the Batphone." Goody swiveled to face me, "Commissioner Gordon again. Wants to know if you're in."

"The bald man howled, released his grip, and Masaro kicked the rat-faced man square between his legs. The fellow let out a high-pitched squeal and sank to his knees. Masaru dropped a hook across the bald man's jaw, sending himbackward into the bar to land on a pile of broken beach glass. He was picking up a table to clobber the rat-man when Yukiko's voice rang out over the chaos.

 " 'I like it,' Augie said imperiously.
'Mom's going to kill you,' P.J. said, trying to keep a straight face. 'Mom said coloring your hair is like drinking. Once you start, it's hard to stop.' "

"By the time Rae Ann and I pulled into the parking lot, we were weary, muddy, mystified, battle-tested, and hankering for food. Our last sustenance had been around nine o'clock. Deep fried chocolate cake stuffed with Twinkies and ice cream in Grafton."
"I've chewed this gum so long I'm putting flavor back  into it."

Unfortunately due to uni I only finished one book since last week, leaving me with the other two I started still to be read. As I posted teasers for them last week, I'll skip doing them again this week. Since I did finish one book, I have started another, so here is the teaser for that one. =)

"I wait for Augie to disconnect when I hear three quick shots, followed by two more and Augie's piercing screams."

"She wanted  to leap from her horse and run to them, or to simply scream that she wasn't a part of this prince's court, that she has no hand in bringing them here, chained and starved and beaten, that she had worked and bled with them, with their families and friends - she was not like these monsters that destroyed everything. That she had done something, nearly two years ago, when she had freed almost two hundred slaves from the Pirate Lord. Even that, though, wasn't enough." Throne of Glass by Sarah J Mass - Location 475 10% Kindle Edition

"She tried to keep the misery at bay, thinking of the bamboo valley, the warm stretches of green grass and crystal-clear water, shimmering  with heat. But thoughts of the valley brought her back to her father, the bitter words they had shared before the Thunder Child fell from the skies. 

The slap on her cheek.

The hiss through gritted teeth."  Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff, p118.

"I was feeling better, much better. I shouldn't have been recovering this quickly. I had been hurt before, badly. It didn't just fade, not like this." Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton, p56.
