"A delegation of roaches appeared and bowed low.  The humans got to their knees and bowed back, so Gregor did the same." page 149

My book is When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

I was freaked.  Mom was freaked.  She took the morning off and had the locks changed.

Dare ya NOT to read it after that :)

Teaser Tuesday - kinda late!

Maggie Stiefvater has a new book named Ballad coming out October 1st, 2009.  I've read Shiver, and I can't wait to read this one!

Here's a teaser to get your interest up!

He turned towards me. For a long moment, he stood facing me. I was held, anchored to the ground – not by his music, which still called and pushed against the music already in my head and said grow rise follow – but by his strangeness. By his fingers, spread over the ground, holding something into the earth, by his shoulders, squared in a way that spoke of strength and unknowability, and most of all, by the great, thorny antlers that grew from his head, spanning the sky like branches.

 Then he was gone, and I missed his going in the instant that the sun fell off the edge of the hill, abandoning the world to twilight.

I'm reading Wake by Lisa McMann

"His eyes narrow as they search her face.  She can see his eyes are puzzled.  His face flushes slightly, but she's not sure why."  (gave you a bonus sentence)

Mine is:

I forced myself to look at the moon. I think I was afraid I'd see it had grown even bigger, that it really was lumbering its way to earth to crush us all to death.
