Debby's Tuesday Teaser

I know it is not Tuesday yet, but if I don't post it now, I will probably not get it posted. This book is the third and final book in The Hunger Games trilogy. We read The Hunger Games a few months ago.
Not only does he hate me and want to kill me, he no longer believes I'm human. It was less painful being strangled. Around me the recovery team members scribble like crazy, taking down every word. Haymitch and Plutarch grab my arms and propel me out of the room. They lean me up against a wall in the silent hallway. But I know Peeta continues to scream behind the door and the glass.

Our New Read

Our new book is Eats, Shoots & Leaves The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. :) Here is what it says on the back cover.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

It sounds like it should be hilarious and informative. Debby Mitchell chose the book so we will be meeting at her house on Tues. Feb. 15th at 7 p.m. to discuss it. Hope you all enjoy it.

(The panda background was for you Alecia) :)

Liz's Teaser Tuesday

"The volcano?" Drizzt asked, and Bruenor kept nodding as if it was all coming clear to him.
"Aye, that's it. That's the beast."
"They told you that?"
"No," Bruenor readily admitted. "But that's it."
"You can't know that."
But Bruenor kept nodding. "Ye feel the earth moving beneath yer feet," he said. "Ye seen the mountain growin'. It's waking up. The beast. The beast o' Gauntlgrym." He looked Drizzt directly in the eye and nodded. "And they're askin' for me help, elf, and so they're to get it, or I'm a bearded gnome!"
He nodded with even more determination then rushed for his pack, fumbling with his maps. " And now we're knowing the general area o' the place! It's real, elf! Gauntlgrym is real!"
"So we're going to go there?" Drizzt asked, and Bruenor looked at him as if the answer was so obvious that Drizzt must have lost his mind to even ask.
"And stop a volcano?" Drizzt explained.
Bruenor's jaw hung open and he stopped fumbling with his maps.
After all, how did one stop a volcano?
