Merry Christmas 2013

I've been MIA a lot here lately, (I completely forgot the last TWO Teaser Tuesdays - I'm so embarrassed!), but I wanted to make sure to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten all you readers, and to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!




Stay safe, drive carefully, and enjoy the holiday!

Teaser Tuesday - World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, by Max Brooks

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just:
* 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 and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) Lists if they like your teasers!

I started reading World War Z last week, and so far it's OK.  I'm not 100% sure that I'm down with the format, or style of the writing, but so far it's pretty good. 

The Tease:

"I looked up, through the car's window, the hole in the dead man's skull, and the window on the other side, and that's when I saw the first one.  I spun around and saw five more coming at me from all directions.  And behind them were another ten, fifteen.
I took a shot at the first one, the round went wild."

I've just started World War Z this weekend.  I've been wanting to read it for awhile, then kind of forgot about it, then my interest was renewed when the movie came out earlier this year, then I forgot about it again until this weekend when I found it on sale!  So far it seems to be pretty good, though I've just barely started.

The Tease:

"The driver's eyes had a different look, the same one as me, the look that maybe money wasn't going to be much good for much longer.  I slipped the man an extra fifty and wished him luck.  That was all I could do."
