Ann:
Tuesday Intro:
"Stupid Princes," I muttered as I stalked down the green flecked quartz and marble hallway. "Why is it that when I don't want them, they're practically popping out of the closets? But the one time, the one time I actually need a knight in overpriced armor, they're nowhere to be found?"
Teaser:
"Everything was pitch-black; the only light came from my flaming hair."
The intro makes the main character seem like more than just an ordinary princess who only cares about princes. The teaser doesn't give much away but it does make the book sound really interesting and I cannot wait to read more.
Clare:
Tuesday Intro:
"Bog bodies."
Teaser:
""Why is there blue stuff on your face?"
Clare took a deep breath and counted to ten before she opened her eyes. "I was partying with Smurfs. I wanted to fit in."
I feel a bit mean with the first quote but it's so much more intriguing as one sentence, I haven't started reading this so I didn't want any explanation for such a ridiculous sentence.
I love the second quote because it just sounds so sarcastic and I love sarcasm in characters!
Hahaha I love the beginning for Once Every Never! It's just so absurd but amazing! Spelled sounds hilarious as well, especially the 'overpriced armour' comment. Thank you so much for making me laugh today! I think I'll have to check both of these out! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great week!

I just finished reading Spelled yesterday and passed it on to Ann so I can assure you it's definitely funny and I recommend it. I am looking forward to Once Every Never because Bog Bodies is just great. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great week too :)
DeleteI'm intrigued by Spelled - fantastic cover, and the Intro makes it sound like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser for this week: http://justasecondblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/teaser-tuesdays-august-18-2015.html
I only just started reading Spelled today and am not very far into it but so far I am enjoying it.
DeleteBoth made me snicker! And both sound like fun reads!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/08/18/teaser-tuesdays-126-ghosts-among-men/
Love your teaser! And I am really enjoying funny books at the moment - I read a lot of tragic books earlier this month so I think its a relief to laugh at one! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThanks! I enjoy a break from all those scary ones I read. LOL
DeleteI am terrible at scary books! I'm so easily scared I need to have a dose of comedy with any scary book! I am such a wimp! :)
DeleteBoth books sound interesting. My teaser this week comes from Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOoh I read the first book in that series but my local library didn't have the rest of the series! I may have to get back into it! Thanks for visiting
DeleteThose both sound like good reads. :)

My teaser
Love the cover on your teaser! Thanks for visiting
DeleteI love both the quotes. 'Bog bodies' indeed. Love the slippers on the first cover. I need me some of those!!
ReplyDeleteThe 'Bog Bodies' made me laugh when I read it so I thought it would be perfect as it was. And the shoes are just as awesome inside the book! I had major shoe envy all the way through. Thanks for visiting
DeleteThese both look like fun....I love the shoes on the first cover. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are in the book as well and the main character treks all over the place wearing them! For that if nothing else I admire her so much! Thanks for visiting
DeleteSpelled intrigues me. I love the cover and enjoyed the teasers shared. It sounds like something I might like.
ReplyDeleteThe second teaser for Once Every Never had me laughing out loud. That's great. :-)
I definitely recommend Spelled. And I got my little brother to pick a page at random and point and that's what we got - which worked way better than I thought it would. Thanks for visiting
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the teaser even if the books aren't for you! Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI love the Smurf reference- that made me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile as well! I haven't got that far in the book yet but I'm hoping it will live up to the promise of the Smurf reference :) Thanks for visiting
DeleteHmmm, Juli, this one is new to me, but I'd need to read more as I'm not totally sold on the intro yet .
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting our blog. You should think about trying it because you will never know if it is a book you will enjoy until you pick it up and read it.
DeleteNot so sure about this one. Here is my TT

Thanks for visiting. I loved it maybe you should think about trying it. It is always good to try new things.
DeleteI like the sound of both of these and intrigued by the 'bog bodies'
ReplyDeleteThe 'bog bodies' were indeed awesome. Or at least the story was! Thanks for visiting
