Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

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 that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I am still reading the same book, not because it isn’t keeping my interest and/or because it isn’t a page turner, matter of fact it’s quite the opposite. Unfortunately, due to real life real life issues these past few weeks, has put me even further behind in my reading schedule. I apologize to those waiting for reviews.

“Please don’t hurt, Ally. I’ll do whatever whatever you want, just don’t hurt her. I’m begging you.”

FLASHBACK

by DAN SIMMONS

SYNOPSIS:

The United States is near total collapse. But 87% of the population doesn’t care: they’re addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to re-experience the best moments of their lives. After ex-detective Nick Bottom’s wife died in a car accident, he went under the flash to be with her; he’s lost his job, his teenage son, and his livelihood as a result.

Nick may be a lost soul but he’s still a good cop, so he is hired to investigate the murder of a top governmental advisor’s son. This flashback-addict becomes the one man who may be able to change the course of an entire nation turning away from the future to live in the past.
A provocative novel set in a future that seems scarily possible, FLASHBACK proves why Dan Simmons is one of our most exciting and versatile writers.

Welcome Back We Missed Ya Dog Animation Animated Gif

WooHoo !!! Have you heard ???? Someone is back in business!!! I am soooo excited, if I could jump up and down, that’s exactly what I would be doing!!!! I am thrilled beyond words can express. Oh how I remember that day, the day that I got up the courage to email this blogger and ask a ~~couple of~~, ~~a few,~~ many questions, and she was so gracious and kind and answered every single one of them. Then she encouraged me and mentored me to go public and was my very first follower. Well, she’s baaaack!!!! YES!!!! VICKI, from her former blog Reading At The Beach, is back!!!! So run right over to her new place, I’D RATHER BE READING AT THE BEACH and give her a great big {{{{{{ hug }}}}}}…. . I am sure, like me, that there are a lot of bloggers who have missed her as much as I have. WELCOME BACK VICKI!!!!!

This week’s question:

Have you ever read a book that inspired you to take up a cause? What book was it, and what is/was the cause?

My answer:
What a great question. The only book that came to mind was The Left Behind Series. I have always had a deep belief of my religion. I’m not the type to discuss it unless asked, preach about it, ring door bells, etc etc., but when I read this series , a fictional interpretation of The Revelations from The Bible and written by 2 pastors, I have recommended it to so many people. The reason being that these books were written in the late 1990s and I read them approximately 5 years ago, all 13 of them. and in a very short time. I want to share these books with others, for them to make decisions in their own lives.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of A girl and her books and is now on tour.

According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
