I actually finished reading this book yesterday, after reading about 300 pages of it on my flight home from Perth on Sunday night. I was already a big fan of Jennifer Donnelly's writing, although previously I have liked her Victorian saga novels, The Tea Rose and The Winter Rose, a bit more than her previous YA book. I loved this book, and so I wanted to share a teaser with you all from it.The teaser comes from page 150:
I put the diary down for a moment and close my eyes. I see that girl, too. In my mind. I hear her voice. And I want her to tell me the rest of her story.
Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!
By the way, check out my blogoversary giveaway which closes very soon! All the details are here, and if you are interested in sharing some of your favourite holiday memories, songs, recipes, books, traditions etc, then please sign up to the Virtual Advent Tour.
I really enjoyed The Winter Rose, perhaps I should look at this. It's difficult finding just the right book for across country flights!
ReplyDeleteI took my e-reader and read that on the way over, but I started this during take off with the intention of just reading it for 10 minutes, but just kept on going with it for the next 4 hours!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the Wild Rose!
oh.. i can't wait to read this one.. heard really good reviews for this one..
ReplyDeleteJenniffer Donnolly is an author new to me and I am going to try to track down some of the books you have mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI want to know the rest of the story too...this is very intriguing

ReplyDeleteTeaser Tuesady: Remedies by Kate Ledger
I really, really liked this book, but a couple of my friends hated it! It was the first book of hers that I've read, but I want to read the Rose books! Here's my Teaser from Firelight.
ReplyDeleteThat is good. I'm not sure that I've read her before. I'll have to take a look.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser for today is from How to Wed a Baron.
Hi Marg,
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser lines, I was intrigued to know more. I had to visit Amazon to read the full synopsis, so that I could put the lines into context.
This is not an author I am familiar with, but definitely wouldn't mind trying this book sometime.

I am so excited about this one and can't wait to start it. I also have The Tea Rose on my shelf and since you mention that it's great as well, I am going to have to add it to the TBR stack. Thanks for the great teaser!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a great teaser...I haven't read this author yet, but now I must!

Great teaser. Now I want her to tell me the rest of the story! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWanting to know the rest of the story - I know that feeling well.
ReplyDeleteOh, excellent. :) A mark of a good book is that the characters really seem alive.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a great book to drag you in like that. The diary sounds engrossing too. Thanks for visiting me. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like its going to be a great story. Nice teaser!
ReplyDeleteI want to read this book! :) I actually read about it somewhere earlier this year and thought it sounded interesting, but then forgot all about it. Now I'll put it into my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Tiina
Great teaser! I love stories within stories and this sounds like a book that got just that(I'm guessing she is reading someone's diary?).
ReplyDeleteA story to tell, always great:) Seen this book on many blogs lately. I've got The Tea Rose in my shelf, but haven't read it yet...
ReplyDeleteI have this book too, I got it as my scorpio b day gift from Mrs Q. Ohhh can't wait to start it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Teaser - very evocative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by SunnyReads!
I'm not familiar with this author. Thanks for stopping by earlier!
ReplyDeleteHmm, now I'm intrigued. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteNow I want you to tell me the story! I like this teaser.
ReplyDeleteI loved Revolution, except for one big spoiler-y thing about the end. It was my first novel by Jennifer Donnelly, and I'd definitely read more!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this teaser - it's so evocative! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing teaser. ^_^
