 My Teaser:

"Her magic gave a strange lurch, as if it was being pulled from inside her.  As if there was a hand sliding up through her ribs, stripping the magic away from her very core.  She felt as if she was being turned inside out and scraped clean."

My Teaser:

"William, Simon, and I walked about the room.  Jars and jars lined the shelves with strange preserved jellyfish, creatures I've never seen before.  I stepped back, almost collided with a preserved chimpanzee's head floating in a large glass jar near me, its eyes milky white."

My Teaser:

"She wasn't contagious.  Her infection gave her that knowledge.  No tongue triangles, no blisters with dandelion seeds, nothing that could reveal her true nature.  That made perfect sense:  if she showed these telltale symptoms, the humans would kill her.  Not being contagious was actually a form of camouflage."

~ p.  214, Pandemic (Infected #3) by Scot Sigler

My Teaser:

"That's what many people remember about the 1980s:  neon fashions, the jumbled faces on a Rubik's Cube, Duran Duran videos on MTV.  But the real spirit of the decade was the valorization of work:  relentless industry as the supreme virtue."

~ p. 48, "Last Night at the Viper Room:  River Phoenix and the Hollywood He Left Behind" by Gavin Edwards

My teaser:

"Asher had little regard for young ladies, having yet to encounter one who wasn't a hardened schemer, but a curious feeling of tenderness settled over him as he carried Elsie Atherton toward the college buildings.  With her head resting against his chest, all that mattered was to have her peaceful and smiling again."

~ p. 28 - "The Dark Between" by Sonia Gensler
