Teaser & Top Ten Tuesdays

Here are the rules:

1. Grab your current read

2. Open to a page
3. Pick out 2 lines that are SPOILER FREE
4. Name the title, author, etc.

Definitely going to tease you all today! I couldn't decide between these two teasers and naturally when that happens I share both!!

"'Faster, my love faster.' He laughed when I snarled. 'If it pleases you, I can push harder from behind.'" p 31

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!


Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want To Live In

*in no particular order

**NOTE: Now I LOVE these books, but some of the settings wouldn't necessarily be ideal. For the dystopians, obviously I wouldn't want to be stuck in those kinds of hostile locations. I'll explain a bit with each title, why it wouldn't be an ideal place to live!

1. Angelfall by Susan Ee--a world ruled by angels who aren't too thrilled with humans? Pass.

2. Divergent by Veronica Roth--where to begin with all the factions and issues (with society) with this one! Pass.

3. Doomed by Tracy Deebs--basically the fact that some nutjob makes technology obsolete completely and shutting down Earth as we known it! Pass.

4. Black City by Elizabeth Richards--a world ruled by vampires? With troubled human relations? Pass.

5. God Save the Queen by Kate Locke--set in the past, plus there are goblins, vampires and werewolves? And other nasty political issues? Pass.

6. Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly--another world ruled by angels and angels don't like humans? Yeah, pass.

7. Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter--uh...zombies running rampant at night? No thanks. Unless Cole's there to protect me! And I was like 10 years younger!

8. Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes--it's in the past-ish, plus there's so much political upheaval going on, especially in Rebel Spring. This is not a place to visit during these trying times! Pass.

9. Dying Bites by DD Barant--moreso the parallel world Jace goes to! Too many paranormals running about. Not safe at all. Pass.

10. Benighted by Kit Whitfield--a read from long ago, but in this one, humans make up 1% of the population, the other 99% is werewolves. Yeah, pass.
