Teaser Tuesdays #6 – Assassin's Blade


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!

Yessss I am the dumbest dumbo for rereading the ToG series noww when HoF is already out in some stores (I'm late rereading Lux too.....which is probably why I still haven't read Opposition.....don't kill meeee *whines* XD), but since I have to wait a few weeks for Amazon to hurry up and ship my HoF copy, I do have an excuse for the slow start. Kinda. Not really. *frowns*
Anyway *coughs* I just started Assassin's Blade ;) Funny enough, this is actually the first time reading AB, since I originally read the novellas (minus The Assassin and The Healer) separately before the bind up was available....
Thus I present my TT of Assassin's Blade by the one and only Sarah J. Maas ;)

“With nothing else to distract her, Celaena eventually returned to thinking about Sam. Even weeks later, she had no idea how she’d somehow gotten attached to him, what he’d been shouting when Arobynn beat her, and why Arobynn had thought he’d need three seasoned assassins to restrain him that day.”

AND:

“Arobynn encouraged cutthroat behavior. Even when they were children, he’d set her and Sam against each other, use their victories and failures against them. He’d made her see everyone but Arobynn and Ben as a potential enemy. As allies, yes, but also as foes to be closely watched. Weakness was never to be shown at any cost. Brutality was rewarded. And education and culture were equally important—words could be just as deadly as steel.”

Share your TT's!

4/30 PreWednesday Issue#2 Random Updates Dayy!



Issue #2. Makes it sounds like some kind of newpaper XD Oh and I Luurrrrvvee the banner, Bellzie!! Looks awesome *thumbs up* I dunno how to do those kind of things *pouts*

Anyhooo, quite a few things have happened this weekk!

  • We have a Twitter account now! Ta daaa *flourishes arm*:  FM's Twitter :D It was supposed to be @Fangirlingmisses, but twitter apparently thinks its too long, so it's now fangirlingmisse, without the "S", which makes no sense at all, whatsoever. Rahh. And Twitter's character limit is so short, it's really hard to actually write anything useful XD 
  • HEIR OF FIRE'S NEW COVER!!!! It got released a few days ago, remembah?? I shall show it to those who haven't seen it yet on their official FB page- *pauses dramatically*....*crowd waits*....*smirks* Wait till the end of the post. *cracks up* LETS TORTURE OUR READERS XDD *crowd throws tomatoes* ...okay okay..geez so violent.   



The lovely green one on the left hand side is the US cover version, and the left is the UK's. Which do you prefer? I kind of like the UK's betterr.. the ice green/blue colour in the background is soooo pwetty. and LOOK she has a BOW!! :D CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT *pulls hair* GIMME. NOW. *jumps around with Belle* AHHH!!!!! :DDD *dies*

  • I'm currently rereading the Darkest Minds because it's so awesome, and if you haven't read it....*puts knife to throat* READ. IT. NOW. *smiles sweetly* I personally (and lot of you should be agreeing with this statement...*shoots a look around threateningly*) think it's THE best dystopian book ever written. And I've read a lot of dystopian books. It's fresh, new, suspenseful, and the romance is slow and real unlike mostt..*cough* Not naming names XD Just remember, MY LIAM. Or i'll hunt you down in your sleep. 
  • If you haven't seen the other 5 Misses around, it's because they're slacking. Chop chop, dearies XD 
  • I think that's pretty much it....I should keep notes of interesting things next time o.O Can't remember anything. Maybe you can add sumfin, Bellzie or Mazza xD
