From page 2 of Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston:
After centuries spent imprisoned , locked in the chains of uneasy, enchanted sleep, the Wild Hunt was awake.
Obviously I just started this. Kelsey finally convinced me that it was past time I read this and after very little protest, I gave in. I love anything involving fairies and this one sounds different than the few other fairy books that I have read so I can’t wait to really start reading it. Hopefully it won’t take me very long to get into the story.
What are you reading this Tuesday?

Teaser Tuesday: Wondrous Strange
* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall to a random page.
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
* Share the title of the book that you’re getting your teaser from… That way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
* Please avoid spoilers!
From page 2 of Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston:
After centuries spent imprisoned , locked in the chains of uneasy, enchanted sleep, the Wild Hunt was awake.
Obviously I just started this. Kelsey finally convinced me that it was past time I read this and after very little protest, I gave in. I love anything involving fairies and this one sounds different than the few other fairy books that I have read so I can’t wait to really start reading it. Hopefully it won’t take me very long to get into the story.
What are you reading this Tuesday?

Yah glad you started it 🙂 Enjoy!
Linger- Maggie Stiefvater
“After I got into the car with Grace’s father, he drove me to the cluttered alley behind the bookstore where my Volkswagen was parked,navigating carefully so that he didn’t hit his mirrors on the rash bins on either side. He pulled to a stop just behind my car, his silent face illuminated by the flickering streetlight that hung from the second story of the store.”
