Teaser & Top Ten Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Purple Princess of The Purple Booker


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


Just a side note, this book takes place long before the Hollows series started with Dead Witch Walking. I think it's roughly 1964. Definitely before 1969! ;)


"A feeling of alarmed urgency broke over him, but Kal kept his breathing even. His theory that bacteria could safely insert genetic code into mature cells would have as much chance of being developed now as a man had of walking on the moon." Kindle loc.8%*

TITLE: The Turn
AUTHOR: Kim Harrison

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 2017 Debuts I'm Excited For...So Far!


*in no particular order


Well this is kind of shameful...I don't always know about debuts so far in advance. Usually it's when I start to see other bloggers reviewing them and whatnot that my interest gets piqued. So shameful in some ways. Hopefully that will change as the year goes on! So here are a few authors that I know of that I know I want to read! 

4. FROSTBLOOD BY Elly Blake--I actually read this one already but I really liked it! It's just my kind of fantasy read!
3. POISON'S KISS by Breeana Shields--been seeing this one around lately and I admit to being intrigued!!
2. CARAVAL by Stephanie Garber--I came late to this game of wanting to read this one! But by the time I realized I'd like to read it, my wait was just over a month or two! So yay? LOL!

1. VALENTINE by Jodi McAlister--learned of this one from a fellow blogger and it sounds soooo awesome!!! It's got a murder thriller twist plus some Greek mythology (ish) working in!!

  10. Great list! I didn't take part in TTT this week because I'm so bad at keeping up with debuts. But I'm definitely going to use this week as an opportunity to find out about them! I've seen Caraval around quite a lot recently so I'm definitely going to look that one up.

  12. I don't often read fantasy, but this sounds like a good one. The cover is definitely striking!

  14. I thought you had an ARC of Caraval, no?

  15. I haven't read anything by Kim Harrison! I like the book's cover though. :D

    I adored Frostblood and Caraval! Some 2017 debuts I'm looking forward to reading soon are Wintersong, Daughter of the Pirate King, and Royal Bastards. Fantasy for the win!

    Wonderful post, Jessica!

  20. I don't know if I'd keep reading The Turn. It sounds like a trope I do not enjoy, but I hope you do!

  21. Nice teaser, bet it does get developed.

    Don't be ashamed- I don't know about that many debuts this year either. Just not something I purposely seek out.
