This week's Teaser comes from:
"I am just sensation. This is what he does to me - takes my body and possesses it wholly so that I think of nothing but him. His magic is powerful, intoxicating, I'm a butterfly caught in his net, unable and unwilling to escape. I'm his.....totally his."
There is so much controversy over these books. I'm really glad to be finally reading them for myself so I can have my own opinion. So far, I really like these books, for more than one reason. At the same time, I can see why they aren't for everyone. But I do think some people are going to extremes over their dislike for the series. I say, a book is a book, and you should never discourage people from reading. As long as it's age appropriate, especially in this case. "Someone who chooses not to read had no advantage over those who can't read". Anyway, I like it and would recommend it. As long as you are open minded.
I was wondering what people thought of those books as well! I haven't been able to read them yet, so thanks for the teaser!

ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them as much as I am when you make your way to them :). Thanks for stopping by and sharing your teaser!
DeleteIt seems like everyone is reading these books now. I figure it's because it's going to be made into a movie. But even then, there's not much info about the movie. Either way, I don't think they're my type of books. I still really like your teaser, though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my teaser :)
Ya, these books are everywhere now. Some people are making such a fuss that it just draws even more attention to the books. They are removing them from libraries in some places. I think taking away a book just makes people want to read them even more haha. Glad you enjoyed the teaser and you are most welcome for the visit! :)
DeleteVery nice teaser. I SO need to read these books. They sound amazing! :)

Thank you very much :). They are quite a fun read, I am really enjoying them! Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteI read both awesome reviews and horrible reviews about them. So I went ahead and read them, and liked them. A lot. There were parts and certain elements that bothered me, but they didn't take away from my overall like of the trilogy. That's a cool teaser :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Ya, there sure is a lot of good and bad out there, and everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion. But I definitely think people should it for themselves before the go on rants. Ive seen some rants from people who haven't even read it and are only going on hear-say. Anyway haha, I'm glad you liked them!I really like them to :) And you are most welcome for the visit :)
DeleteI haven't read these books, so I'm not really in a position to have a major opinion, but I'm glad you like them :)
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser (:D)
Much thanks! And thanks for stopping by and sharing your teaser :)
DeleteInteresting teaser. I'm not sure if I want to read these books or not. It's nothing to do with the controversy over them. I'm just not sure that they're my thing and I have so much other stuff waiting to be read. Thanks for stopping by earlier and happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about so much stuff waiting to be read. I have so many unread books on my shelf, but yet I keep borrowing and buying more lol. Oh books, why must you be so awesome!?!
DeleteThanks for returning the visit! :)
Interesting teaser. You are right there are a lot of opinions about these books but ultimately everyone should be able to form their own opionion. I still haven't read these but I'll get around to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the teaser and stopping by librarymosaic.
Absolutely. If you don't like it, that's cool. Everyone has their own opinion and likes, but some people will just go with what others are saying without giving it a chance and that's a little sad. I realize its not for everyone, but it's a pretty good series. Hope you enjoy them when you find your way to them :).
DeleteThanks for returning the visit!
I have heard quite interesting things about this series! This teaser makes me want to read it!

Ohhh, this book! I keep hearing about all over the blogosphere and I'm switching back and forth from curious to scared LOL but I'm really happy that you're enjoying it! That teaser actually sounds kind of passionately sweet, and the paragraph you wrote was really helpful and informative!
