Teaser Tuesday and Tuney Tuesday--March 20, 2012

 

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 Teaser: Both hands, squeezing, sliding, stroking. It never ends, this desire. Not for me. (pg 236)
Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions
 Enthralled: Paranormal Diversons


My Song: Holding on and Letting go by Ross Copperman

Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody really know if its the end of the beginning?
The quiet rush of one breath
Is all we're waiting for
Sometimes the one we’re taking
Changes every one before..

[Chorus]
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go

Sometimes we're holding angels
And we never even know
Don't know if we'll make it,
But we know,
We just can't let it show

[Chorus]
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go

Yeah, we're letting go

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go

[Chorus]
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go.

It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't
It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go


Response:

This song reminds me of the book Delirum, that I just finished reading. I just think it's a really beautiful song, and defines Lena and Alex's relationship. I don't want to give anything away, but if you've read Delirium, you probably get it. Delirium is a book I want to own, and I can't wait to read Pandemonium. I also really want to buy this song on itunes and put it on my ipod. I keep repeating it on youtube and it's driving some people I know crazy. Laugh out loud, yall.. Hold on and let go. How to do that at the same time, is the question. I suppose Alex and Lena show us how.

Post your own TT links below and I will check them out sometime this week.

It's also the  first day of spring! Did you see how cute Google looked today? Wishin' yall a very happy season, love ya Rachel
