Teaser Tuesday

TUESDAY
Happy Tuesday everyone!!  If you live on the upper east coast, I hope you are safe and shoveled out from the blizzard yesterday.

I will be away from my computer today, at least until hubby can figure what out what is wrong with it.  Booted it up this morning and kept getting the dreaded blue crash screen.  I am using hubby’s computer at this minute, but since all my blogging sites are stored on mine, it is making me quite frustrated.  So if I don’t respond, you will know why.

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!


  “Look, Keeper,” Norman said, “I don’t mean to go ballistic, but if Pelton’s busted you, that makes me an accessory.  No matter who’s in the wrong, that makes me liable for manipulating the evidence, too.”
  “You knew the risks.”
  “I never imagined anything like this.”

I took out my wallet, slipped out a business card, and handed it to him.  Then I leaned into his ear.  “Doctor,” I whispered, “let’s hope your patient makes one hell of a miraculous recovery.”

Before I share my wrap up with everyone, I would like to thank Katrina for hosting this challenge.  Katrina:  you did a wonderful job and it was so much fun.  Thank you!!!
 
WRAP UP
Did you finish reading all the books on your fall reading list? If not, why not?
Yes..I completed this challenge.
Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?
I did have to change my original list.  I signed up for and listed
12 books that I wanted to read.  However, 2 of them
were a DNF so I added 2 more to replace those.
What was your favorite book that you read this fall? Least favorite? Why?
There were a few.  Books are like children, can’t have a favorite.
But the ones that stood out were: Love Always, Hobby and Jessie,
And One Last Thing, Last Writes and, of course a
James Patterson book, Private
Did you discover a new author or genre this fall? Did you love them? Not love them?
Yes.  New authors that I am looking forward to reading
 more fromand they are the authors of the above books: 
 Sara Robinson, Molly Harper and Sheila Lowe
Did you learn something new because of Fall Into Reading 2010 – something about reading, about yourself, or about a topic you read about?
Other than I am a self proclaimed challenge junkie lol.
It would have been from the memoir Love Always, Hobby and Jessie.
Since the author and I are close in age, it gave me insight into my parent’s
life at the time that they dated, married and had children. 
 What was your favorite thing about the challenge?
The weekly questions.  Am hoping that Katrina will 
host this challenge again and maybe even have others.
Again, thank you Katrina for hosting this.

After the call, John must have gone back to Blake,, because they emerged together about an hour later.  Blake had an odd look about him, but John, seemed calm, bordering on emotionless.

Week #12 (and final) Question:
So, for our final question(s), choose one or more of the questions below to answer. Your pick!

I am choosing to answer all.

Do you write in your books?

The only time I wrote in books was when I was in college and needed to highlight and/or take notes for important points from my text books. But when reading books for enjoyment…absolutely NOT.

Can you read in the car?

Yes, if I’m not the driver lol otherwise it could be quite dangerous

Does the rest of your family enjoy reading?

Unfortunately, No. There are only 2 people in my family that read and both live out of state. My cousin and my son’s gf. That’s why I love being part of this book blogging community!!!

What’s the longest you’ve gone without reading?

A few years back, I went into a major slump due to real life issues, whereas I didn’t read for over a year.  But once I picked up that first book, all of the addictive traits of an avid reader returned.

Week # 11 Question:
Do you ever read the end of a book before you actually get there? Have you sneaked a peek at the last page or two to find out what happens? Or do you faithfully avoid the final pages until you’ve “earned” them by reading to that point?

My Response:

NO..NEVER!  I wouldn’t dream of doing that.  In my opinion, that defeats the purpose of reading for enjoyment, pleasure, relaxation, fun etc etc.
