“Teaser Tuesdays” is a weekly meme run by MizB over at Should Be Reading have fun with us and play along.

Here’s how it works:

1. Get the book you’re currently reading
2. Open it to any random page
3. Share 2 “teaser” sentences from anywhere on that page (Be courteous of your readers — DO NOT INCLUDE SPOILERS!)
4. List the title & author of the book so people can add it to any future reading lists

This week I’m pulling teasers from The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen.

“Ok,” I said, “You’re forgiven.”

Do you want to tease? If so post one of your own.

J. Kaye has constructed the 2nds Challenge whereby participants are asked to read 12 books between January 1 – December 31, 2009 that are either second in a series or the second book you’ve read by an author previously discovered.

Current Status:

The Art of French Kissing – Kristin Harmel

J. Kaye, the end all be all of book challengers, created one that I’ve decided is totally and completely made just for me. You see I’m a girl who loves a series. I like to meet characters and get to know them and watch them navigate their lives over time. So I’m all about this great 1st in a Series Challenge where participants are required to read 12 books between January 1 – December 31, 2009 that are the first in a series.

Titles Read for this Challenge:

I now have further justification to read scads and scads of Young Adult novels (as if I really need to have it anyway *shrugs*).   This justification comes in the form of J. Kaye’s Young Adult Book Challenge which asks participants to read 12 novels in this genre between January 1 – December 31, 2009.

Of course I’m already half way through the challenge and I’m just posting this up now, but I’ll keep adding to the list beyond the 12 required to keep track of just how much YA I’m reading over the year.

Current Status:

The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
The Forest of Hands and Teeth – Carrie Ryan
20 Boy Summer – Sarah Ockler
