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 a few teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
- MAKE SURE NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (you don't want to give too much away and ruin the book for other readers)
- Share the title and author too, so that other readers can add your book to their TBR list if they like your teaser!

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
“Wait—did you—You just yawned!” The vampire’s arms, raised over his head in the classic Dracula pose, dropped to his sides. He pulled his exaggerated white fangs back behind his lips. “What, imminent death isn’t exciting enough for you?”
“Oh, stop pouting. But, really, the widow’s peak? The pale skin? The black cape? Where did you even get that thing, a costume store?”

I heard so much good stuff about this book that I had to pick it up. After reading the above lines I was hooked. The writing is super funny and pulls you. White does an amazing job creating new mythology and transforming old supernatural cliches. I couldn't get enough of Evie, who while very innocent is such a teenager! If you haven't read it yet, go get a copy! Also, look out for the next book following Evie, Supernaturally, coming out July 2011
I love the humor, that pulls me in every time. yet another to be added to my TBR list. I am now following you site as well...you have some intriguing and interesting posts, i look forward to reading many more.
