Teaser Tuesday



Hosted by: http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/?s=Teaser+Tuesdays

* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall open to a random page.
* Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
* You also need to 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!

My Teaser:

Without time to contemplate the bitter coldness now swiftly stealing over her body, or how far she ventured from the antechamber that led back into the Sub-Station and precious oxygen, or to note the horrified expressions on the faces of both Mrs. Jennings and Miss Steele, Elinor grasped the sea scorpion with both hands, crushing its carapace between her protective gloves, tugging mightily to dislodge it. Still the thing clung, its claws firmly embedded in her neck.

~ Page 233, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen & Ben H. Winters

    I am not sure whether to read these books or not. I feel I should read the Austen books themselves first really!

    I think perhaps I should read the originals before I venture into this series. What a neat idea, though. Mine's here.

    I haven't seen this cover before. I don't think I'm going to jump on the popular Jane Austen side.....

    Awesome teaser. I'm going to have to skip the book though. The zombies were enough for me.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
