This week's teaser is from Airman by Eoin Colfer
"Flame was climbing the parapet wall, blackening the stone with its fiery licks. Crossbeams, carpets, files, and furniture tumbled into the hungry fire, feeding it. Conor lifted the princess, dragging his friend upright."
I really loved Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, so I had high hopes going into this book. I'm disappointed so far. The characters aren't nearly as developed, nor is the writing as smooth. I'm hoping that both issues will get better as the book progresses!

| I am totally drooling! Just LOOK at it! |
Being the massive bookworm that I am, its a bit depressing that I don't own an e-reader of any sort. I really like the entire Nook series, and was really thinking of buying one until "BLEEP!" I looked at the prices. Holy bleep, I can't afford any of those! SO, I'm really hoping that I win this giveaway! :D That way I can please my inner tech-junkie, and still not break my bank. Or two.
Here is the link (http://www.sparklingreviews.com/2011/10/nook-touch-and-case-giveaway.html) , so go check it out! I'm hoping that if I don't win, at least one of my readers will! :)

This week's teaser is from Fire by Kristin Cashore
"Under the vast sky, magnificent with stars, Musa and three others played cards in the
light of a candle, as they had the night before. Fire held onto the tent opening to counter the
vertigo she felt when she looked up at that sky."
I really love Kristin Cashore's writing. It's so eloquent! Fire is an absolute treat to read. Also, on a side note, look at that cover! It's gorgeous! I seriously am at war with myself over which cover I like better - the original, or this reprint. Which do you prefer?

This week's teaser is from Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
"For the first time in her life, Alanna stopped fighting. She had used up all her air, all her strength, all her magic. She was weaponless."
Dun dun dun DUN! I love this series so much guys, you don't even know. Tamora Pierce is seriously one of my favorite authors ever - she creates such strong female protagonists! If you haven't already, go read some of her books. You won't be disappointed!
