"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Teaser Tuesday (10)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be ReadingAnyone can play along! Just do the following!
  • Grab your current read.
  • Open to a random page.
  • Share a few teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
  • MAKE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (you don't want to give too much away and ruin the book for other readers)
  • Share the title and author too, so that other readers can add your book to their TBR list if they like your teaser!

Occasionally I read a book that ISN'T a YA book.  I know, weird right?  But it is true.  The book for this week's Teaser Tuesday is one such book.  In fact it was recommended and bought for me by my best friend.  Pretty awesome best friend!

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
    
“I wake up to my ringing phone, and for a second I am disorientated in my own apartment.  Then I hear Darcy's high-pitched voice on my machine, urging me to pick up, pick up, please pick up.  My crime snaps into focus.  I sit up too quickly, and y apartment spins.  Dexter's back is to me, sculpted and sparsly freckled.  I jab hard at it with one finger.”
(page 12)

I'm only on chapter three, but I'm loving it already!  Read the synopsis here! I really want to finish the book before the movie starring Kate Hudson (Darcy) and Ginnifer Goodwin (Rachel) comes out on May 6.  Watch the trailer here!

  5. All that and it is only page 12. I can hardly image the adventure that will lay within the rest of the book. Great Tease this week!
