Jake is Reading...
Blood Ninja by Nick Lake page 29
The wicked barbed steel of a shuriken whined through the air past Taro's head, nicking his ear. He fired an arrow that went wide, just as the good Ninja's blade struck in front of him, as quick and lethal as a snake, gutting a man who had been about to stab him with a dagger. Taro felt that the world and the air surrounding him had grown sharp edges, and waited only for him to fall on them.
Gregory is Reading...
The Faceless Ones by Derek Landy page 221
There was a moment of silence. "You're such an unbelievable show-off."
"I learned it all from you."
Alyssa is reading...
Ice by Sarah Beth Durst page 223
The vines had absorbed her pack, mukluks and all, like an amoeba. She wasn't likely to forget that. How was she supposed to escape from a living prison when a magical being was the jailer and she had no equipment and no supplies?

I've only heard of Ice.all 3 have great covers.
Oh that last one sounds gooooooooooooooood!
I look forward to Jake's review of Blood Ninja, I bought it but haven't read it yet :)Ice also sounds quite interesting!
I'm a bit behind the times and am currently reading Scott Westerfeld's Uglies. Not sure I'm lovin it that much. I'm over half way through and finally things are starting to happen. The choices you have listed definitely sound more exciting.
Although ALL are great...I'm going with number 2 as my fav....something about it just grabbed my attention. Thanks for sharing! (gotta love Teaser Tuesday...)
I'd already heard of the Skulduggery Pleasant series & have them on my wishlist but these are all great teasers & I'll have to check out the other books too :o)
You are evil LOL I just added all three books to my wishlist! The teasers alone sound too interesting to pass by the books...
Oooohh, these sound excitingg! :P
Fantastic teasers! And all 3 books have great covers, I especially love Skulduggery Pleasant.
I've heard of Ice, but not the other two. They all sound great!
Blood Ninja?!?! I haven't heard of that, but it looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Ice and Blood Ninja sounds awesome; wish I had picked Blood Ninja up last time I was at the bookstore. I still need to read the first Skulduggery Pleasant book. :)
I want to read Ice, too :)
Oh I LOVE Ice! It's super fantastic! And the quote from The Faceless Ones was hilarious!
Great teasers! I really loved the second one though! I've seen Ice around, but haven't read it yet. Look forward to your review! :)
Awesome teasers! I really like the sound of them all (especially the Ninja book, because it has a NINJA in it---which is just awesome)!
Can't wait to see the reviews :)
I love the cover of Blood Ninja! It seems pretty violent, though. I'll be waiting for a review!

I am really interested in Ice. I've heard good things about it. Great teasers!
Great idea! Love the snippets :)
What great teasers! Blood Ninja's teaser is pretty epic, sounds violent though.
Great teasers, all the books look really good.
I already want to read Ice, and Blood Ninja looks pretty good as well. I remember when you posted about your new avatars, I didn't know what the skullduggery guy looked like but now I do! :)
Ice looks stunning but I haven't heard of Blood Ninja, so must Good read it.
I hope the reading goes well.
Seahn
Great teasers!
Jake, Blood Ninja sounds exciting. Gregory, Skulduggery sounds like quite the witty guy and Ice is currently sitting on my shelf, so I can't wait to hear your opinion of it Alyssa.
They all sound like good books, but if I had to pick one right now I'd go for The Faceless Ones by Derek Landy. Looks like my kind of book.
Breiab

The cover of Ice is awesome. seem so cold !
I read Ice like a week ago and loved it :D! Its such a beautiful story i almost cried at the end.
All 3 teasers grabbed my attention. Blood Ninja sounds awesome and I'm looking forward to your thoughts on Ice, Alyssa. Happy reading!
I read Ice last month, it's such a beautiful book. Bear ♥
I love all of your teasers! And I just adore what you all read. I especially love the "Ice" cover, reminds me of The Golden Compass.
Good ones! :0)
LOL, I loved the Skulduggery Pleasant tease! I'm reading Playing with Fire right now, and there are so many lines I could tease! That series is hilarious. :)
I also liked the one for Ice. I need to read that soon.
I've only heard of Ice as well. I'm looking forward to reading that one, will have to check out the others. Thanks for the info!

These all sound like good books. Thanks for the teasers (:
Really good teasers specially ICE, I really want to read it ^^
Blood Ninja sounds like something right up my alley.
Blood Ninja sounds totally awesome! I'm looking forward to the review of it!
I have heard a lot about Ice, a little about Blood Ninja but this is the first time I've encountered Skulduggery Pleasant. They all look like they belong on my wishlist
Ohhh, I so need to read Ice and Blood Ninja!
The Faceless One also has the coolest cover!
Ohh great teasers! I've only heard of Ice, but they all sound awesome!
I've only heard of Ice, but not the other two. It would be good to read it :)
Very clever idea. Blood Ninja and Ice look like very interesting reads.
Hmmm, I've never heard of any of these, interesting.
Great teaser!
I've been meaning to read Ice lately.
Oooh, Ice. I want to read that one so badly. Though the cover doesn't capture my attention, the teaser kind of makes me intrigued :D
Teaser Tuesday is a fun idea. But I'm having trouble figuring our how to open my Kindle to a random page. I guess I need a Tuesday when I'm reading a print book.
I keep looking at Ice with longing but my TBR stack is so tall I don't dare add anything else until I whittle it down. Luckily, ice is in my HS Media Center so I have easy access to it.
