Get A Taste: Uglies

Rea of Rea's Reading and Reviews and I often read very different books but sometimes find interesting new books to potentially add to the ever-growing monsters that our TBR piles have morphed into. However, we know that we do not have 100% the same taste and we wanted another way of getting a look at these books...

Do you ever feel like getting a bit of a taster for a book you’ve been thinking of reading but aren’t fully sold on yet? Do you feel like sharing a taster for your current read with the world? Well, here’s your chance.

Each week the random number generator will pick a number between 1 and 100 for books with pages or 1 and 25% for ebooks. We figured that these numbers would keep us out of spoiler territory. Open your book to the specified place and pick a paragraph. Share it with the world!

This week its: 
Page number: 40
Kindle/ebook: 20%


My Teaser:

'"Pretty generic, Tally."
"Oh come on! I worked on this one for a long time. I think I'd look great this way. There's a whole Cleopatra thing going on."
"You know," Shay said, "I read that the real Cleopatra wasn't even that great-looking. She seduced everyone with how clever she was."


This was like the first series I read, the first book I read for me to get into books, without the Uglies series I wouldn't be reading today. So if you have heard about this, or you have seen this and not bought it, GO ON! buy it :D 




Do you want to join in too? Here’s how:

Step 1: Copy and paste the Get A Taste image.
Step 2: Copy and paste our intro or write your own but it must link back to both of our blogs.
Step 3: Find the designated page for the week.
Step 4: Type out a paragraph or so from your book.
Step 5: Post it and share it!

We would appreciate it if you'd leave a comment letting us know where we can find your post. We'll be sure to pop on by and leave a comment!
Thanks and have fun!

Review of Uglies (Uglies#1) by Scott Westerfeld (Ages ago)

All time favourite book, it has took me a whole year to write a review for this book. so it will lack on some information.

First of all this book is about people who aer know as uglies until they turn 16 when they have an operation to make them pretty, but not all is what it seems.
A girl called Tally has always wanted to become a pretty and can not wait until her 16th birthday, when she will become one of the pretties, but she meats a girl called Shay when she sneaks into New Pretty Town to see her best friend who is a pretty, after that she nearly gets caught so Shay helps her get back into uglyville, where she finds out that Shay's birthday is on the same day as hers, but Shay does not want to become a pretty she wants to go to a place called the smoke a stay ugly forever.

Tally wants nothing to do with the smoke , but Special circumstances gets involved and tells Tally she has to go to smoke and alert them to the place called the smoke or she will never become pretty. She goes into the smoke , but starts to enjoy it, but she does something witch alerts them to the place of the Smoke.

Allot of things then revolve and it is all because of Tally alerting them to the smoke, she gets close to a guy called David, and she does not want to become pretty no more.

That's all i can say without giving it away!!
