Teaser Tuesday (13)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:


        • 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!


My Teasers:
The Scorpio RacesI lean close to the stallion's ear and trace a counterclockwise circle above his eyes as I whisper into his soft ear. 
 "Sean!" my father snaps, and the cappall's head jerks up quickly enough that his skull nearly strike mine. "What are you doing with your face next to his today? Does he not look hungry to you? Do you think you'd look fine with half a face?" 
But I just look at the stallion's square pupil, and he looks back, his head turns slightly away from me. I hope he's remembering what I told him: Do not eat my father.

In My Mailbox (13)

Welcome to this weeks IMM!
In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren.


This week I got:
Scorpio Races - Maggie Stiefvater (Amazon/Goodreads)
The Scorpio Races
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. 
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. 
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.

Squeal!!! 
I've been pining for this one all month and I finally got my hands on it.  I'm so happy! It sounds absolutely incredible! And I just know that it's going to be an awesome read! After all it's by Maggie Stiefvater ^_^


That's all from me this week.
What Did You Get In You Mailbox?
