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
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (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 TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I started reading Shatter Me not so long ago so this is going to be what I share two sentences from. Since I have it in eBook, I'll be basically rolling not opening, but I'm sure it'll be fun! :D
The Book:
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

The Teasers:
"They think they can wash away my memories, my loyalties, my priorities with a few hot meals and a room with a view."
"I try to stay as close as possible to his body because I'm certain Warner has given them orders to bring me back alive."
(Since I'm not there yet where I scrolled to, I even made myself curious . :D)

I'm strongly believing that it's going to be one of mine, too. I love it! (I love when other bloggers read what I do, too, and adore it, just like me, too :)) My pleasure.
