"So you're saying...you're saying that you're half angel," I said slowly. "Yes.""Mom, really, come on." I wanted her to laugh and tell me that the angel stuff was some kind of dream she had, like in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy wakes up and finds out the whole Oz thing was a big, colorful hallucination from getting conked on the head.
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand is SO good so far. I am having the hardest time putting it down. Last night I wanted to forfeit sleep and today I want to forfeit laundry and cooking. Oh and I love that her mom is part-angel too!
I love the skepticism. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteI saw this somewhere just the other day and was wondering about it. I'm still wondering... :-)
ReplyDeleteI am not certain how I would react if my mother said such a thing to me. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesdays-voltaires-calligrapher.html
ReplyDeleteI have this one waiting to be read, so I'm so happy to hear you're really enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I love her tone. Sounds like a character I could totally relate to...well, ya know, except for the half-angel bit, but Mom is rather saintly in her own way... *ponders* ^_^
ReplyDeleteOoh, great teaser :) I've seen this book around and I think I added it to my TBR on a whim, but I'm glad to know that you're liking it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my teaser! I'll tell V that we all miss her!
