Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by MizB of Books and Beat.
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
Multiple teasers for this one!! Because as you all likely know, I ADORE this series!! One's a bookish one that will resonate with a lot of us booklovers and the other is a Janco teaser at its finest!! ;)
"He gripped the page to rip it free from the book.
Yelena stopped his hand. 'The library won't like that.'
Since so many student magicians had spent long hours in here researching over many years' time, magic had infused every inch of this place--the library was very protective of the books." p 364*
Janco picked up the top half of a broken mannequin.
'This place went bust.'
Everyone groaned at the bad joke.
'Come on, guys. That's a classic.'
No one agreed.
Ari turned to Valek. 'Please tell me you need Janco to travel far away from here for a dangerous undercover mission.'
'Let me guess,' Yelena said. 'He's been driving you crazy.'
'Janco and boredom don't mix well.' p 408*

10. ALEXANDRA BRACKEN--yup, I didn't read her first series for some reason. Didn't grab my interest and I've reached the point of being picky about what reads I want to read. There's over 300 of them in my house so far! LOL!
9. LISA MAXWELL--didn't read her first book either. This one caught my eye because Peter Pan retelling! With Captain Hook as a hero on top of it. And yes, I totally envisioned Colin O'Donoghue as Hook!

7. SARAH AHIERS--a few debut authors made this list...whoops! Lol! I loooved this one though and can't wait to see what else Sarah will write in this world!
6. APRIL GENEVIEVE TUCHOLKE--picked her up when I heard she was coming to St. Louis earlier this year. Her books were definitely intriguing! They were mysterious and rather good! Can't wait for more from her either!
5. ALWYN HAMILTON--another debut author that I fell in love with!! So awesome!!
4. MARIE RUTKOSKI--binge read her Winner's Curse trilogy this year, best decision ever! Because holy cow those endings!! Total cliffhangers! Yay for binge reading!!
3. NATALIE D. RICHARDS--this was her first YA book if I am not mistaken...unless those contemps I just saw on Goodreads were actually YA, but I digress. My first time reading her and I quite enjoyed this one!
2. KERRI MANISCALCO--oohh this one was SOOO good!! I loved it! So mysterious and that ending! Man! I didn't see it coming!!
1. KIM LIGGETT--this one was pretty good. I wasn't as creeped out as I hoped to be, but I definitely plan on reading more from her!
