September Wrap Up (3 of 3)

CMash September 30, 2010 6 Comments

September is coming to a close and it hasn’t been kind, both in reading and personal. But like real life, one has to take the good and the bad, learn from both and move on. I debated even if I would do a monthly wrap up since I only read 1 book and couldn’t finish 2. As I sit here reflecting, I realized how much we had to personally deal with and why I had so much difficulty and could not focus on reading. All I can hope is that October is more productive, it couldn’t get much worse.

TUESDAY

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!

The Voices screamed, Turn left! Turn left! The rocks, the ocean. Dive in the ocean. The water will save you from the knife. No, she screamed, I’m not ready to die.
