Teaser Tuesday (on a wednesday): Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play, and the rules are simple:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This week's Teasers are from Dreamland by Sarah Dessen.

     I started up the aisle toward her, popping the lens cap off my camera, already lifting it to my eye and adjusting the zoom so that her profile took up the entire frame. Then she leaned in, reaching forward, and as her breath came out in a sudden, white puff, she closed her eyes, reacting to the cold. I snapped the picture, catching her in that one instant with a simple click.

     And I saw myself, then, setting out across uncharted territory, places Cass had never been or seen or even heard of. My world was suddenly wide and limitless, as vast as the sky and stars I'd been dazzled by earlier, and it all started there with the door he was holding open for me.

Geek Chic This Week (7/9/12)

Geek Chic This Week is a feature here at Geek Chic to talk about the books I received this week, whether bought, borrowed, or fallen from the sky! It's inspired by the Story Siren's In My Mailbox.

Okay. So. Several things.

First off: I'm a day late with this. I know. I keep failing with blog stuff lately! I will make excuses with the fact that my family is moving soon, so I've been a bit busy. So bear with me!! (I feel like I'm always saying that lately! But thanks, you guys!!)

Secondly: This GCTW is going to cover the past two weeks. 

Third: My camera is dead, and I can't take/send photos on my phone right now, so I don't have any pictures of my actual books.

Fourth: I've been trying suuuuuper hard not to get too many books lately, because I have SO MANY other books to read. Plus, I should really stop getting books from the library, because since I'm moving soon (see above), I probably won't have time to read them all...

And finally: TODAY IS MY YOUNGER SISTER'S BIRTHDAY!! Biiiiig birthday shoutout to my SUPER DUPER AWESOME SISTER, LILLYBELL!! You guys, she's a teenager now. LIKE, A TEENAGER. So yeah. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LILLY!

Okay, on to the books!!

FROM THE LIBRARY

-Unleashed by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie. Werewolves! Werewolves=cool.

-Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday. SO. FLIPPING. AWESOME!!! I'm absolutely DYING to read the next book. Awesome teen sleuth-age, kinda like the Charmed Life series by Jenny B Jones or Clarity by Kim Harrington. Oh, and a hot guy. YES.

-Dreamland by Sarah Dessen. I've been meaning to read this one for a looong time, but I kinda forgot about it until a friend of mine suggested I read it :)

-Fated by Alyson Noel. I'm kinda reading this one right now, but I'm having trouble getting into it...I don't know if I'll finish...

-Struck by Jennifer Bosworth. Looks cool!!

-The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen. I read this one. It was really good :) I really want to read Falling in Love With English Boys, which, I realized AFTER reading this one, kinda came beforehand. Ha.

-Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe. This one seems like fun :)
