Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
The various images bounced against each other until she felt a desperate vertigo, as if she could at any moment pitch backward and plunge head first down the well shaft and drown there, the sky far above her, her last vision but a bright circle set in the dark, no bigger than a full moon. (p. 49)

On the reading front I haven’t done much better (I’m halfway through The Chronicles of Narnia). Although to be fair reading scifi has never been something I’ve really bothered with (which is half the reason I signed up for the challenge…the half other being I’m clearly insane and have to do everything).
I have, however, totally rocked it in regard to watching Sanctuary (for those of you who haven’t watched the show yet, emphasis on yet here’s the blurb from wikipedia “The show centers on Dr. Helen Magnus, a 158-year-old English scientist, and her team of experts who run the Sanctuary, an organization that seeks out non-human intelligent creatures, known as Abnormals, and tries to help and learn from them, while also having to contain the more dangerous ones.”). I’ve rewatched both seasons including the season 2 opening (*sniffle*). I know I’ve said this about a million times before but this show seriously rocks! I’d list a bunch of reasons but I’m not sure I could manage to fit it all in one post, so instead I bring you 12 reasons why I love Helen Magnus (the show’s main character), in no particular order:
image from talkofcake on tumblr - She loves tea
- She has the best wardrobe (shoes included)
- Her cheeky smile
- She has the coolest job ever (her job title has words I can’t even pronounce)
- She grew up in Victorian England
- Her crying will break your heart but she looks good doing it
- Bigfoot is her butler
- She’s well travelled
- Her sense of humor
- Helen in crisis mode is awesome and sarcastic
- Her hair
- She doesn’t look like a drowned rat when soaking wet
