Teaser Tuesday- February 28th, 2012

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Here's my teaser:
I have two this week! 


My first teaser is from Jenn Bennett's, SUMMONING THE NIGHT (Subject due to change since this is from an ARC. I gave as little I I could away, but just enough to make you want more;) ) 

A gruesome sight. But what was written on the cement above the skull sent an army of chills down my spine: - Page 131

Next teaser is from Ken Newmans's, THE PALADIN

"I hope you will pardon my shiner," he said with a smile. "Sometimes when me and Jesus are struggling with Satan, the old boy gets a lucky punch in." - Page 119

What's your teaser??

Cover Art: *2 New Covers*

Release Date: June 5th, 2012

Synopsis:Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near-impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one unlikely refugee. Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life– a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha… and the secrets of her heart.

Tom Hiddleston as Algaliarept Algaliarept Tom Hiddleston as Algaliarept

Does anyone else think that Tom Hiddleston would play Algaliarept perfectly? I've seen a few other choices, but when I came to think of it, there's not much face on Al's character on the internet. You see a few photos of cartoons of him, but you mostly see Kirsten and Trent. I'd love to see your choice for Al? Maybe it's a cartoon or a model or of course an actor. I just want to see what you guys think. 

Now, here's my choice..

I just did a quick fix to make his eyes more snake like.. So you'd see a bit more of what I thought.

If he had those glasses on in the previous photo, it would have been perfect.

I know I just did a post on him as the MOTW, but I had to voice my thoughts on this! hehe
