Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Grab your current read, open to a random page, and share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
My Teaser:
"But she doesn't recognize herself. Maybe her face isn't any different, but the look in her eyes. Worse than dead, their expression is simply blank."

For the month of October Tune in Tuesday will be featuring songs from soundtracks.
This week I am picking songs from Across the Universe (a movie where they took a bunch of Beatles songs and made a movie around them), and since it's one my favorite movies and I could probably spend the whole month on it I am going to put my top 5 favorites
This is one of the series that I love to read over and over and over again! It will probably always be my favorite!
2. The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld
This is my favorite series of his and I have read this series a lot as well! I enjoy reading his books and I'm constantly looking for ways to get my hands on his books that I don't currently own.
3. Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Out of all of her books this one is probably my favorite! I've been dying to reread this one for awhile now but I just haven't found the time yet :(
4. Saints at the River by Ron Rash
I was assigned to read this book for my Eng 102 class and I did not have high hopes for it because of the cover or the synopsis. It just wasn't in the genre that I was reading at the time. However, when reading this book I fell in love with it. Ron Rash is a local writer and his book takes place in Tamassee, SC (I went to a track meet at their high school). This is a fantastic book and I would definitely recommend it for you to read.
5. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkein
Love! Love! Love! I absolutely love this book!!
6. Burned by Ellen Hopkins
This book is probably my second favorite book of hers. If I remember correctly the male protagonist is totally crush worthy and not many books of her's have that element. I also did not expect the way that she ended the book AT ALL! Total shocker for me!! This is probably one of her saddest books :(
7. The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
This series is probably one of my favorite high fantasy genre books and I enjoy going back and rereading it every so often. Also the fourth and final book is coming out in November so I am definitely due for a reread!!
8. Mad Kestrel by Misty Massey
I read this book about three years ago for my school's SCYABA contest and I enjoyed it a lot! It was one of my favorite books from that year's list! The last two weeks I have had this urge to reread it so that is why it is on the list!
9. The Host by Stephenie Meyer
This is on my list of favorite books and it's obviously my favorite book by the author :P! I was really skeptical when I was first told to read but I'm really glad that I did. It definitely has a slow start but when it gets going it really takes off.
10. This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
This is my second favorite book by Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever is my favorite) and all of her books are must reads! All of the guys will have you in love with them before the book is even halfway done. They are just simply fantastic!

"If someone were to look carefully, the angry red marks underneath the fine cotton of her blouse would be clearly visible. But nobody ever does look carefully."
