Teaser Tuesday II

And well, am here, yet again, posting the Teaser Tuesday at 10:53, late again! But well better late than ever right?

 The new Teaser for today will be from my current read City of Glass. 

"Clary," Luke said. "Clary, are you alright?"

His voice sounded thick, strange. She looked at him, and the breath died in her throat. His ears had grown long and pointed, his teeth razor-sharp, his eyes a fierce yellow...

- City of Glass, pg.65

And that's it for today mates! You like it? Have some of you actually read the book? I'm in the process, not even in this page yet, but I like the series in a general sense so looking forward for this page and more. 

And since I don't want to do a new post I want to share with you guys a piece of poetry I found today, read, and loved. It's a poem by Emily Dickinson called Because I could not stop Death.

Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me;

The carriage held but just ourselves

And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste, 

And I had put away

My labor, and my leisure too,

For his civility.

We passed the school, where children strove

At recess, in the ring;

We passed the fields of gazing grain,

We passed the setting sun.

Or rather, he passed us;

The dews grew quivering and chill,

For only gossamer my gown,

My tippet only tulle.

We paused before a house that seemed

A swelling of the ground;

The roof was scarcely visible,

The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each

Feels shorter than the day

I first surmised the horses' heads

Were toward eternity.

I think it's enchanting. I like it, do you? Hope the post wasn't to long, but I just had to share it with all of you. Kind of like when your a kid and you find out Santa Claus is not real, you need to know if the other kids knew it too, and if they did what they're thoughts are about it.

Put Twenty Boy Summer on the Map

Twenty Boy Summer has escaped from its boxes before the official June 1 release date and has already been spotted in the wild at a bookstore near Buffalo, NY. Now through June 30, we’re tracking sightings of TBS all over the country. If you spot the book in a bookstore or library, take a picture or video and enter to win a cool TBS Beach Prize Pack!

Guidelines:

1. Take a picture or video of Twenty Boy Summer on the shelves in the store, kiosk, or library
2. Email it with your first name, store/library name, and the city and state where it was taken to sarah.ockler@gmail.com with the subject “TBS Map Contest”
3. For an extra entry, take a picture or video of the book with YOU in it, holding it or pointing at it or singing to it or doing some other creative (but not illegal) thing 

Pics and videos will be posted at SarahOckler.com along with a Google map showing all of the places Twenty Boy Summer has been spotted in the wild. The more times you find and document TBS in different stores
and libraries, the more times you can enter!

The contest is open to U.S. residents only. Participants under age 13 must have a parent/guardian enter for them. We’ll randomly select a winning entry from all of the entries on July 1 and will notify the winner by email.

Good luck and happy book hunting!
