Teaser Tuesday: Room by Emma Donoghue


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two "teaser" sentences from that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others!
* Share the title and author so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:
Technically, as you can see on my sidebar, I am currently reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.  However, I haven't really started it already so I thought I could still share a teaser from Room by Emma Donoghue.  I really loved this book, and I will be posting a review shortly.  Watch out for that!

'The way she says it, it's strange.  I think she's pretending.  "You have to know.  You know everything."'

-page 59, Room by Emma Donoghue

   
 

The Culprit
Nina is busy reading. When she's not too busy with her books, she works as a nurse and gets hit by little boys and girls that she poked with a needle. Her hobbies include reading, sharing great reads with her mother/brother/boyfriend/friends, and practicing how to dodge children's fists.

    I've read mixed reviews about Room, Nina. I guess it is the type of book you have to read for yourself to make a decision on.

I just have to tell you, ARGH feeds on awesomeness, so if you can, drop him some awesome here, and I promise to give some awesome back :D

Right now, because of my really busy schedule, I'm cutting back on receiving awards. So until further notice, me and ARGH would not be accepting awards. But thank you for thinking of us, we really appreciate it!
