Happy Valentine's Day! + Teaser Tuesday (72)

Or, Happy Pan-Universal Be Who You Are Day, formerly titled Interplanetary Be Who You Are Day, in case you don't like Valentine's Day.

At any rate, have an awesome Tuesday!

**********

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly, bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

• 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!

This week, my teaser is from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. He's one of my favorite authors; you may have also heard of him as one of the brothers who runs the popular vlogbrothers YouTube channel. He signed all the pre-orders of this book, which I still struggle to comprehend because there were 150,000 of them. Wow. Geez. Anyway, on with the teaser.

I might have been nervous--what with sitting in the car of a strange boy on the way to his house, keenly aware that my crap lungs complicate efforts to fend off unwanted advances--but his driving was so astonishingly poor that I could think of nothing else.
   We'd gone perhaps a mile in jagged silence before Augustus said, "I failed the driving test three times."
   "You don't say."

What are you reading right now? Got a teaser to share?


Also, I should have mentioned this on my blog before (bad me), but be sure to stop by My First Book since there's a guest post I wrote about Writing Relationships!
