Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: ~Grab your current read ~Open to a random page ~Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on the page ~BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! ( make sure that what you share doesn’t give away to much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) ~Share the title & author too, so that […]

I just signed up with NetGalley and was approved for most of the books that I requested, so I thought this challenge would be perfect for me. It’s hosted over at Red House Books. Since I’m starting halfway through the year, I think I’ll aim for green star status (reading and reviewing 11-20 books in 2013). Hopefully this isn’t too ambitious.
