Here are the rules: Grab your current read. Open to a random (or not so random) 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 Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
I didn't intend to do it this week but as I happen to read something good I couldn't restrain myself from participating in this meme again. My teaser comes from "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. I got so excited because the book deals with the topic I featured in one of my "Thoughtful Thursdays" some time ago - beauty and its influence on us. Here is the quote (a bit long but really worth posting) :The big eyes and lips said: I’m young and vulnerable, I can’t hurt you, and you want to protect me. And
the rest said: I’m healthy, I won’t make you sick. And no matter how you felt about a pretty, there was a
part of you that thought:If we had kids, they’d be healthy too. I want this pretty person….
It was biology, they said at school. Like your heart beating, you couldn’t help believing all these things,
not when you saw a face like this. A pretty face.
A face like Peris’s.
This is book I definitely want to read.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter really liked this series.
ReplyDeleteI like it too - finally a book which makes teenagers and older readers think about our obsession with good looks and beauty.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this series. I can't believe I've yet to do so! Great teaser :)
ReplyDeleteI loved this series. You won't be disappointed.

I've enjoyed so much of Scott Westerfield's books, but haven't seen this in my library yet.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'll check out the book stores next, since you like it so much :)
Thanks for visiting my Diana Wynn Jones teaser at e-Volving Books
I almost bought this book for my daughter for Christmas, but at the moment persuading her to read anything is almost impossible, she'd rather be on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteTracy perhaps you should buy this book for yourself and tell your daughter she can in no circumstances touch it, let alone read it?
ReplyDeleteDeepali do check it - it's good!
Demitra and Melissa thanks for your visit and your comment!
LOL - nah, she'd see through that one instantly!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a clever girl - she took after you I suppose!
