Coming Up...

I wanted to prepare you all for what's coming up. Every first Tuesday of the month we are going to do a Teaser Tuesday. The rule is you open up a book you are currently reading (that is not our book of the month) or a book you have already read, to a random page and post a couple of sentences or small paragraph on the blog with the title and author name and page number as well. What this will hopefully do is get each other interested in different books. I am totally borrowing this idea from another book group blog, so all the praise goes to http://exclusivebooks.blogspot.com I am loving her blog and may use some of her other ideas. She also finds discussion questions from book review sites and posts them as well. Another good idea! Here is an example of Teaser Tuesday that I found on her blog:

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
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

I could hardly grasp the idea of being imprisoned between life and death for thirty years. Everyone he knew would have aged. Many would have died.

Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore Pg 67

Since there are several of us as authors on this blog you can put your name in the title of your post, for example, "Liz's Teaser Tuesday" though at the bottom of your post it does say who posted it, but if you want to make it absolutely clear and easier for others to figure out then go for it. :)

Also, I want everyone to visit the above mentioned blog, she has really good ideas, and since I am new at this I am using her blog as a template. You can all post things on here whenever. Like if you have a book recommendation or want to do a review on something you read, and posting a picture of said book is always helpful. Just do a Google image search.

Feel free to also post comments or questions about the book we are currently reading. I want us all to have an active part in this. This is a way to help draw us closer together as sisters while sharing our love of books, and it's such a fun way of doing so. :)
