Teasers & Top Tens – June 3, 2025

By Denise @ Life With No Plot on June 3, 2025 • ( 2 )

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 The God of the Woods by Liz Moore.

A certain energy was appreciable in the air; it was the energy of teenage hormones, of sidelong glances, a taking note of who had changed over the past year, and in what ways. It wasn’t just the campers, but the counselors, too. All over, they were sidling toward one another, whispering in each other’s ears, making gestures Tracy could not understand. Each one of them, she would learn, was a celebrity in his or her own way; campers strove earnestly to learn facts about them, about their home lives and romantic prospects and heartbreaks; these facts were then traded eagerly as whispers in the dark.

I remember those days of summer camp. The one I went to was a church camp, so it was a bit different, but also very similar. Minus the suspicious disappearances, of course.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is a “Summer Freebie,” so I chose:

Ten Books With Sunshine on the Cover

When I think summer, I think sun (and being too darn hot). While these books may not be summer specific, the covers still give you the feeling of the sun, whether it’s bright and bold or soft as a sunset.
