Teaser Tuesdays {Cinder}

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 two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1)My teasers:
"Iko rolled to her side, clasping her metal grippers over her chest. "Prince Kai. Check my fan, I think I'm overheating!"
chapter one, audiobook version of Cinder by Marissa Meyer


So I totally broke one of my reading rules with this book. Usually I don't like to start a book when I know it's the first in a series. I like to wait until at least a couple books are out. But I saw this audiobook at the library over the weekend and thought, "Why not?". (And luckily the sequel will be out in less than a month so yay for that! ;) I popped in the first CD on my way home and as soon as I heard the above lines, I knew I was hooked. I love Iko! I wish she were featured more. But I am really enjoying this story and can finally understand all the rave reviews I've read about it! Ms. Meyer is an excellent writer. Plus Rebecca Soler is doing a fabulous job with all the voices and characters. I think she's half the reason I'm having so much fun! :D Have you read it? What did you think?

    This book was really popular when it first came out. It didn't seem like my type of read, but you had an interesting teaser. Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

    Sounds like a gripping story! I think the narrator on audio books can make or break a story. Thanks for stopping by.
