Teaser Tuesday #40 and Top Ten Tuesday #30




Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading. Bloggers choose two
sentences out of our current read to peak others' curiosity.



Normalish Normalish by Margaret Lesh

  

Teaser:

As if my life weren't horrible enough- so much so that a list of ways in which it blows would just be overkill at this point- Becca has been acting strange (stranger) Lately.



Fifteen-year-old Stacy questions the strange world of high school, love, her role in a harsh universe, and life, in Normalish.

People tell you high school's so great and wonderful, but they're lying. It's mostly horrible and full of disappointment. It sucks. Your best friend abandons you. The jerk you're in love with pretends to be into you, and then the big dump. The boy you've really clicked with as a friend decides to go all crushy over you, so you break his heart just like yours was -- smashed into little pieces. Your sister goes mental, and you get involved with a guy who’s even crazier than she is (who you know is a very bad idea, but you do it anyway). Math only adds another stink of failure to the whole thing.

High school blows. Just ask freshman Stacy. She’d want you to know.



Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme created here at
The Broke and the Bookish that features a great bookish top ten every week.

This week is a fun one for me. I love Debuts and I love to search through the new ones for the new year. Here are some I am really looking forward too. (it was hard to narrow them down!)

  4. You MUST read Splintered if you haven't. I loved it. It took forever for me to leave the characters behind and move on to another book.
