Tuesday Teaser

I have just this minute read the final word of Magpie Hall by Rachael King....still enjoying the moment for myself...but will leave you with this teaser from...lets see now...flicking the pages...and stop....page 165...


"The bird appeared to hover above her shoulder blades, all curves and dipping wings, waiting to take flight. She was completely silent, and the sound of my breath filled the room."

You can read more about Magpie Hall and the authors first novel The Sound of Butterflies at her rather lovely website here.

Next on my pile of books is one I picked off the new books shelf at the library. It is called Tell Tale by Sam Hayes

"Three desperate strangers bound by one shocking secret. Who will live to tell the chilling tale?"

It took me forever to find this book but it is on Book Depository free shipping worlwide right now.

Just thought i'll share in case others have looked as it is a UK book.

Interesting looking first book -- I would pick it up just for the cover alone! :)
