Teaser Tuesday (7-5)


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. Share the title and author, too.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys---
I looked at Andrius. "Thank you," I said. I put my mittens on his cheeks, pulled his face to mine and kissed him. ---p. 232
I am really enjoying this book, a historical novel set in Russia during the same time period as World War II.  I am surprised by this teaser myself as I haven't read that far ahead yet.
People discussed the war and how the Germans might save us. For once the bald man said nothing. I wondered if what he said about Hitler was true. Could we be trading Stalin's sickle for something worse? ---p. 72
I decided to add another quote because the first one made it seem like the book was a sweet love story.  Far from it.
