"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 (53)


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 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!

Croak
by Gina Damico
Publication Date: March  20, 2012


         Restless, she began walking down the muddy road, not even sure if she was going in the right direction.  A bear would soon arrive to eat her soon, no doubt.  She certainly hoped Mr. Truitt would be happy upon learning that her bloodied corpse had been found in a muck-filled ditch.
(Pg. 19)

This book is so hilarious!  I love the attitude that Lex gives out (by the way she's named Lexington, and her twin sister's name is Concord; love it!).  The premise of this town of grim reapers was too awesome to pass up, and I can already tell I'm going to love Lex's Uncle Mort!  Can't wait to get further in; definitely a recommended read by just the first 4 chapters!

    I've read other teasers from Croak, and I love that it seems to have a dark sense of humor. :) Thanks for reminding me I need to get this one on the TBR!
