Taste Testing Tuesdays (40)

Good morning (or whatever time it is where you are), everyone!

Welcome to another installment of Taste Testing Tuesdays here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers!  Taste Testing Tuesdays was inspired by 'Teaser Tuesdays', a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

On the menu this week ... one book that will be making the rounds on a blog tour here next week and another I'm hoping to finish in time for a "Friday the 13th" post (we'll see).
Let's have a taste!

She looked around the kitchen for a possible weapon.  She spotted a nine-inch chef's knife.  Lethal -- but the though of actually stabbing anyone, even in self-defense, frightened her too much.  She settled instead for a small cast-iron skillet.  The notion of fracturing a skull was somehow more appealing.  -- pg 92, The Chill of Night by James Hayman (ARC)

High expectations for this one after reading his other novel The Cutting some time ago.  Have to admit though, the characters background story was a bit disturbing....

It's one of only a handful of books that I've read that is written in prose.  I have to say, though I appreciate poetry, telling a novel length story through that style is a bit much....but we shall see as I an scurrying to read this one for a feature on Friday....

We are the ones who see witches.
The good folk nearly plead,
"Pray tell us who be the witches,
who are the devils in our midst?"
--pg 110, Wicked Girls, A Novel of the Salem Witch Trials by Stephanie Hemphill

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

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 participants can add the book to their TBR.*

Until next time....happy reading!
