Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 


This week's teaser is from Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, pg 74:

"Are you sleeping? Sam's voice was barely a whisper, but in the dark room where he didn't belong, it was like a shout. I rolled in my bed where he lay on the floor, a dark bundle curled in a nest of blankets and pillows. His presence, so strange and wonderful, seemed to fill the room and press against me. I didn't think I'd ever sleep again. "No."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You already have."

He paused, considering. "Can I ask you two questions, then?"

"You already have."

Sam groaned and threw the one of the small soda pillows in my direction. It arced through the moonlight room, a blackened projectile, and thumped harmlessly by my head. "So you're a smartass, then."

I grinned in the darkness. "Okay, I'll play. What do you want to know?"
I'm almost done with Shiver and I keep asking myself, What took me so long to read this? It's just as good as everyone keeps saying it is! Thanks to the Z girls for pestering me to pick this up. I'm so grateful, haha! Thanks to you, I've fallen in love with Maggie's prose. (And Sam ♥)
