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.

I wasn't sure when I'd get around to starting my next read enough to note a teaser, so I am sharing one from my last read! This teaser had me LOLing as I know the author is also a fan of this movie!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books with "Curse" in the Title

*in no particular order

10. SEALED WITH A CURSE by Cecy Robson--an awesome urban fantasy series from over 10 years ago now! Wow, I feel old!
9. A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY by Brigid Kemmerer--a great Beauty and the Beast retelling!
8. A CURSE OF QUEENS by Amanda Bouchet--a TBR book, and wow, didn't intentionally put all these blue books on one row! Lol.

7. BY A CHARM & A CURSE by Jamie Questell--another TBR book, I remembered being intrigued by it, but alas, it's still unread!
6. TIGER'S CURSE by Colleen Houck--the start of one epic saga!
5. THE KISS CURSE by Erin Sterling--another TBR book, really liked the first book but haven't gotten back to this series yet.

4. THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski--oh wow, I read this series sooo long ago, I can't remember too much about it now. I do remember the publisher tried to change the cover to something hideous on the final book, but luckily enough reader complaints had them reverting!
3. CURSE OF THE WOLF KING by Tessonja Odette--another Beauty and the Beast retelling, but this time, with a wolf!
2. WOLF'S CURSE by Kelley Armstrong--still need to read this novella duology too that was focused on Elena's kids as teenagers!

1. A CURSE FOR TRUE LOVE by Stephanie Garber--did I fashion this whole theme around this title?

But of course! lol.
