Teaser Tuesday 10/25/11

Sorry I haven't posted these for a while. I've been really busy with marching band/colorguard. I'll try to do it more often!

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!

This weeks teaser is from The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa. I just got the book around noon and i'm already almost halfway done! Here it is! This quote is by the wonderful Grim and Puck:
"If I end up in the river because some idiot decides to rock the boat-" he flattened his ears at Puck, who gave him a wide-eyed look of innocence "-I know several witches who would be happy to bring down a particularly potent curse on said idiot's head."
"Wow, if I had a favor for every time someone said that to me..."

Day with Ash/Day with Puck

Julie Kagawa is doing a signed ARC giveaway for The Iron Knight. Go here to learn what to do to enter.

Ash and I would take a nice stroll through a garden or nice park with a little pond with birds and many trees. We would buy mint chocolate chip ice cream cones with fudge on top and sit down between the trees by the pond to eat them. I would ask him to teach me how to sword fight, because I am incompetent when it comes to those kinds of things. I would try to figure out more about him, such as his feelings throughout the book, his biggest fears, when his birthday is, how long he's been alive, his hobbies other than sword fighting, what his childhood was like, etc. Even though he would probably just ignore the questions, I would still try, hoping to get at least one answer out of him. We would then go to an amusement park, preferably Lagoon, and ride all the awesome roller coasters and other rides. At the end of the night, he would take me home and I would give him a hug (at least ;) ) before he left. That would be my day with Ash.

My 11 year old sister's entry:
First, Puck and I would let 30 zebras, 20 ostriches, and 25 penguins loose and let them roam the streets. They would all be glamoured fake, but the humans wouldn't know that. Then we'd get a creature from Nevernever and parade it around the streets, causing havoc. Then we would throw rocks at ducks and watch their reactions. We would then turn random people into different things. We would go to the nearest ice cream joint and spike the ice cream with faery wine. Puck would then drag me to go find Ash to provoke him somehow. He, of course, would be very excited about that. I would not like that because I like Ash, both as a friend, and I think he's hot. Then I would get to know Puck better. Lastly, he would take me home and leave. That's what I would do if I could spend a day with Puck.
