Teaser Tuesdays - Beautiful Creatures

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

I had barely made it into my bed before the sun rose, and I was tired - bone tired, as Amma would say. Now I was waiting for Link on the corner.

p. 176 ARC

I know we are suppose to do a random quote, but I picked this for a specific reason. One day I was really tired and I said that I was bone tired. My husband claimed that "bone tired" was not actually an expression and I had made it up. But I said that it was because sometimes you are tired to the bone and therefore you are bone tired. Anyway, when I saw it in this book I ran to find him and read it to him. So there! HA!

    That's such a good phrase, too. You can just feel how tired s/he is.

    Ah yes, I love it when that happens. Although I'm usually the one getting told (seriously, should "satisfiable" be a word?)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!

    I'm really looking forward to reading this book. Of course there is a "Bone tired", just like there is a "Dog tired". I don't know why but there just is heh.

    Wow, I can't imagine anybody not having heard that expression before. It's nice that you actually found it in print. Good teaser!

    Good teaser pick - - love the cover!
    I've always heard of "bone tired" but maybe it's a southern thing?

    good for you! It's always nice to be right. great teaser too. I always pick my teaser. I don't like to look ahead in a book and I love to post something I've already read. So as I read I watch for the sentences I'm going to post. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.

    Great teaser - I've seen this book before, but now I need to check it out.

    I've used "bone tired" before so it's definitely an expression.

    Great teaser! I can sympathize with 'bone tired' some days! And of course it's a legitimate saying...glad you found some proof to back you up. :) I love that one of the characters is named Link! I have a younger brother named Lincoln, and I think it's one of the best names ever.
    And after all that...thanks for coming by my blog earlier!

    Have a good day!

    Oh I would be shoving that in my husband's face, "See! I told you!!! HAH!" :)

    And I've heard of bone tired before. It's when you're so tired, your bones ache!

    I would like to thank everyone for agreeing with me. I love it when people do that.
    Maybe it's b/c my husband is a Yankee. It could be a southern thang.
