Teaser Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. Here are the rules if you want to play along:

• 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 week’s teaser comes from A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer.

Our weapons have been returned to us, and while it’s made to look like a show of trust, I know it’s not. We are heavily outmanned here in the palace. We will be watched wherever we go.

I’m over halfway through this book and it’s so not what I expected. Definitely enjoying it and absolutely want to see where this is going.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is:

Ten Things Characters Have Said

So many things come to mind, it’s almost difficult to chose. Here are a few that I enjoy.

1. “. . . to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed.” – City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
2. “There’s more to life than staying safe.” – Caraval by Stephanie Garber
3. ‘“Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will,” she says.
   “But then again, if you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.”‘ – Paper Towns by John Green
4. “And if we get caught, I will claim I made you go. At gunpoint. I am American. People will assume I’m armed.” – The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson
5. “People see what they wish to see. And in most cases, what they are told that they see.” – The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern
6. “So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.” – The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
7. “I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.” – Mosquitoland by David Arnold
8. “That’s the problem with letting the light in—after it’s been taken away from you, it feels even darker than it was before.” – The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
9. “Don’t forget who is a friend and who is a foe. And don’t forget, sometimes a person can be both.” – The Rules for Disappearing by Ashley Elston
10. “Ah coffee. The sweet balm by which we shall accomplish today’s tasks.” – Ironside by Holly Black
