Teaser Tuesdays #26 - Scars


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

 I've been kind of debating this read for this week because of the dark subject matter, but I'm so eager to read it now just through skimming it. 






"I make a light mark against the paper, then another, giving in to the longing. A girl's face appears, her mouth sewn shut with zigzags of black thread. In one hand is the needle, and in the other is a stitch ripper, its point jagged and sharp." ~ Scars by Cheryl Rainfield

I greeted his tombstone the way I always did—with a swift kick. The release of frustration was more than worth the sharp pain in my toes. The polished marble tilted to the left because of all my visits; a crooked tooth in the rows of pearly white graves. ~ Colors Like Memories by Meradeth Houston

I'm actually only just starting the first book(Charles) in the series, but everyone on the cover is just so pretty! Also, since I'm going to read them all this week I figured the series cover was the better choice. *Stares at the cover*









"He felt like he was going to be sick. The surface of the coffee rippled, and he thought of the water lapping at the edge of the pool where he found Abby. Floating. That sickening thread of blood spooling out into the water." ~ Alibi Volume I: Charles

Teaser Tuesdays #21 - Bonds of Fenris

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

I'm pretty sure this is going to be my favorite book quote this month, so I had to share it with you all.





“As a child, you can wish for anything. But as you grow up, one by one your wishes slip away from you, becoming unattainable. You pick and choose the most precious to hold on to, and let the silly ones, the dumb ones, the less-than-thrilling ones fade into oblivion. But then you’re down to only the precious ones. And when life asks you to give up another, what do you do? How do you decide which of your precious wishes is the most important?” ~ Bonds of Fenris by S.J. Bell

His eyes rolled back into his head, hands clenched into fists at his sides as his mind formed one thought, and one thought only. That he wished he were dead. ~ Intangible by J. Meyers pg. 20

Ross Copperman- Bleeding Love 

It's Ross Copperman! I love this guys voice. I was so happy I was finally able to buy this cover of his. His voice is always full of emotion when he sings. If an artists would ever have to write me a song(because ya know, that happens in real life) he'd definitely be a top pick. His lyrics never hold back to me. He always just puts emotions out there in a poetic way even if it's the sappiest thing ever! He can seriously do no wrong in my book.

"One box caught my attention. It was long and narrow, like the other boxes, but instead of words, it had strange symbols printed down the side. Curious, I wrenched off the lid and reached in, shifting through layers of plastic and foam, until my fingers closed around something long and smooth." ~ The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa pg. 128

Jason Walker- Echo

I may be in the minority here, but I did not watch The Vampire Diaries. I started when it first aired because I love Boone aka Ian Somerhalder, but due to me always wanting to punch Elena I never got past episode five. In comes Netflix and down goes whatever productivity I had during my days. All I've been doing after dinner for the past two weeks is watching a few(okay, sometimes more than a few) episodes of TVD every night. Not only have I become addicted to this show, it's also heavily increased my usage of the Shazam application on my phone. This song is from a fairly recent episode(Season 3), but I knew I had to have it instantly. I even went as far as rewinding a few times to properly get it tagged. Two questions...One, what are you guys listening/reading this week? Two, can someone please bring me a Jeremy or Tyler? Thanks.

I happened to come across this song this week and it was insta-love. Sometimes you need those songs that make little sense. What's weird is that in a way, it kind of does make sense in certain circumstances. I absolutely adore Blair's voice because it sounds unique, yet also eerily familiar. What do you guys think?

Pulling this out because it's what I've had on repeat all week. I've had a huge girl crush on Joss Stone for years now. She is one of those artists that plays after a super long time, and totally reminds me why I love them so much. She's all kinds of adorable and her voice is just SO soulful. I originally wanted to share her White Stripes cover, but I couldn't find a video that'd let me embed. Either way, listen and love  her as much as I do!

"It felt as if a wintry wind had swept in behind him, and the sun that still shone on the back of my neck seemed to have lost its heat. I had forgotten my promise to see him this morning, which by itself would have cast me in disfavor, but that indiscretion became insignificant in light of my other misdeeds." ~ Allegiance by Cayla Kluver page 82

I've been on a huge 90's/early 00's kick this past week thanks to Spotify, and I must admit I've been reliving the days of boybands. I'm not the least bit ashamed to admit if Nsync were to do a reunion tour, you would totally see me in line. Anyways, this brings me to my song. As a teenager O-Town was my other go to when I needed a fix. Sadly they didn't make it very long in the world of music, but they're still continually played on my shuffle of tunes. As my favorite song never had a video made for it, I went for their last song. I truly did enjoy their sound and wished they were still together. Who were some of your 90's/00's favorites?

Finally! NetGalley let me get my hands on a copy of Spellcaster a few days ago. Really, I think they made me wait on purpose for a month to torture me. It really isn't nice of them to keep me away from getting my Brendan Salinger fix. Though it is a nice V-Day present since he's been missed. 




"A person- at least, I think it was a person- in all black with a black hood covering the face- was standing amidst the tree, the figure obscured by the shade. 

And then the figure started running toward me."
~Spellcaster by Cara Lynn Shulz, page 50

I'll be celebrating my V-Day gorging on chocolate deliciousness and watching one of my favorites, (500) Days of Summer. Between Brendan Salinger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I'm sure to be a big pile of saptastic wonderfulness this week! Every time this song comes up on my playlist (sidenote: 500 Days seriously has one of the BEST soundtracks ever) I have to do a little happy dance in honor of the movie. I think it captures what being in love would feel like so well! Okay, I don't know if I'd feel like Harrison Ford, but maybe the female equivalent would be Audrey Hephburn or someone? Either way, this song is filled with all kinds of amazingness that you just can't ignore!
