Teaser Tuesdays & It’s Tuesday, Where Are You? – October 20, 2009

I’m still reading the same two books, although I hope to finish them both by tomorrow. Not a lot of reading time lately – I REALLY can’t wait for the Read-a-thon.

Fire by Kristin Cashore

At night, when she struggled with sleep, Cansrel and Archer kept changing places in her nightmares. Cansrel, his throat torn apart, was suddenly Archer, staring at her just as balefully as Cansrel always had.

A prospectus? What kind of drug dealers have a prospectus?

I am being held by an evil boy with different colored eyes who can control people with his words. (Fire)

I am also purchasing $9,000 worth of marijuana to sell in a last-ditch effort to save my family from financial ruin. (The Financial Lives of Poets)

I am also in Trenton, trying to figure out what my ex-husband, Dicky Orr, has done with $40 million. And also I sent Joyce Barnhardt an exploding beaver. (Lean Mean Thirteen, Janet Evanovich – on audio)

    OMG, the exploding beaver! That brought a belly laugh to my Tuesday morning!

    I can sympathize with you Carrie. If not for my audio books, I’d get no reading done. My life is chaos. I would love to lock myself in a room for even 6 hours to read! I’m off on a cruise with the girlfriends this Friday. I don’t know how much reading I’ll get done, but I’m intending to be very lazy!

      Sandy – I stayed up way too late last night and finished Fire (I did this post before I went to bed). It was fantastic – even better than Graceling! I’m hoping to get my review posted tomorrow. Not sure what to do if I finish Financial Lives of Poets – don’t really want to get in the middle of another book before the read-a-thon.

  5. Yikes- that teaser from Fire sounds a bit gruesome! I’ve been really curious about this book – isn’t it part of a series?
