Teaser Tuesday

Day #3 of Delilah and Nichole spend time together to write posts, and what a lovely day it is. Sunday we raved about books that we recently added to our every growing libraries, yesterday we discussed those books that we are anxious to read but we just haven't quite gotten around to yet, and TODAY... today we get to talk to you all about books that we are currently reading. YAY. We're going to shake things up a bit and Del is going to go first this time because Nic is currently french braiding her hair. :) Yea, so what we're 22 and still braid each others hair... we're drinking margaritas if that makes it anymore adult. Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. How do YOU participate? It's super simple. Grab your current read, turn to a random page (I always use the portion of the book that I've read to avoid causing any spoilers), pick 2 sentences. See really easy.

Delilah:

Title: Between the Lines
Author: Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer

"This must be what an addict feels like I think, trying to fight the pull of one last, quick read. My fingers itch toward the binding, and finally, with a sigh of regret. I just grab the book and open it, hungrily read the story. "  p. 33

I love this! It pretty much sums up exactly how I feel every time my clock reads 3:00 am and I only have 80 pages left in a book and I set it down telling myself that I will just finish it in the morning only to pick it up again 30 seconds later.




Nichole:

Title: Ripple
Author: Mandy Hubbard

"As the icy water slaps against my skin, the feeling of wrongness just won't leave. For a reason I can't quite name, I twist around to see behind me, and look into the woods. Eyes." p. 120

This book, so far, is SO sad, but SOO good. I can't put it down. If you have ever felt distanced from others or had to lose people you love, you'll really be able to relate to this book (like me!). I have no idea where the story is going and I love that! I'm excited to see where this book goes and how it's going to end. :)

Review'd: Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult

Book Review: 
Title: Between the Lines 
Author: Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer
Published June 26th 2012 by Simon Pulse


Goodreads Summary: 
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult and her teenage daughter present their first-ever novel for teens, filled with romance, adventure, and humor.What happens when happily ever after…isn’t?     Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.     And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He’s a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He’s sure there’s more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.     Delilah and Oliver work together to attempt to get Oliver out of his book, a challenging task that forces them to examine their perceptions of fate, the world, and their places in it. And as their attraction to each other grows along the way, a romance blossoms that is anything but a fairy tale.


DeLibrarie Review: 
This might be the cutest book I've ever read. It was just so sweet! It reminded me SO much of The Great Good Thing by Roderick Townley, which I loved as a child. It was really adorable, but that is really all it is. Don't go into it thinking that you'll be wowed, or that you'll be chomping at the bit to find out what happens... it's just not that type of book. It is one that kept me entertained while I was reading it, but I was never pulled into it, if that makes sense. I also think that it might be geared toward the younger side of the YA spectrum. I totally recommend it though, I really enjoyed it.
