Taste Testing Tuesdays (45)

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 ... a sampling of teasers primed to fit the tastes of a range of readers.  First up, a book I'm reading through in a genre I don't usually read.  Second, a Kid's Fiction book that happens to be the companion to one I read last year.  Last but not least, my rebellious book choice for the upcoming Banned Books Week celebration.
Are ya ready?

Frank grabbed his suspenders, pulled them out, then gently maneuvered them back to his chest without snapping them.  He swallowed and puckered his lips, shuffled his feet, crossed his arms over his chest, all the while looking increasingly uncomfortable.  "You haven't heard yet, have you?"  -- pg 121, Divine Appointments by Charlene Ann Baumbich

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to author Charlene Ann Baumbich AND this the second installment in the Snowglobe Series as this book hits shelves today!  A review of book 1 is set for this week, so be sure to stop back to get a look inside this interesting series...

 

I clenched my fists and focused on a spot on the floor between me and Mr. Cabot.

Above us, Sarah Jane opened and closed her bedroom door again -- SLAM! -- and again -- SLAM!  SLAM!  SLAM!  Reminding everyone that, just because she was upstairs in her room, she hadn't disappeared.  -- pg 119, Scumble by Ingrid Law (ARC)

The first book, Savvy, in this series was a great reading adventure perfect for readers of all ages.  This installment?  As good as gold and even better....

Miss Maudie opened her front door and came out on the porch.  She looked across the street at us.  Suddenly she grinned.  "Jem Finch," she called.  "You devil, bring me back my hat, sir!"  -- pg 77, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Believe it or not, this is the first time I am reading this book in it's entirety.  Just in time too...it's my selection in honor of Banned Books Week!  What book will YOU be rebelliously reading?
