"I could handle goblins and bogeymen and evil, flesh-eating horses, but giant freaking spiders? That's where I drew the line."
p.g 156, The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa.
The Iron Daughter
is book two in The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. These books are filled with fae, both beautiful and monstrous, and things that go bump in the night. This quote made me laugh since I am a complete arachnophobe and can relate to being willing to face any dark nasty beasty...except a giant spider. Is there something, natural or paranormal, that makes you want to run and hide?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

- 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Nice teaser, I loved this book.

Enjoy your book!
Gah! Another book that I so want to read. So many. So little time.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser. I'd draw the line there too.
ReplyDeleteI hate spiders also except Spiderman. XD Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser.
Really, I'd think goblins and bogeymen more frightening. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHaha well said. Bring anything at me just not spiders *shudders* I hope you continue to enjoy your book.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Teaser
Nice! I'm not a fan of spiders either. I do like the Iron Fey series though, so far. Hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from Clockwork Angel.
Yeah, the giant spiders would be scary. But I think the flesh-eating horses would give me problems, too. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my teaser from The Inheritance.
I'd draw the line there too! LOL

ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: Blameless by Gail Carriger
Wonderful teaser! Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Teaser Tuesday post!
Your teaser made me laugh out :-) Spiders are worse than "evil, flesh-eating horses"? No way! Thank you for visiting my blog - now I am going to take a look around yours :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteFunny! :D
Here is my TT :)
I could handle the spiders better than flesh eating horses. *shiver*
ReplyDeleteI would draw the line at giant spiders as well. I don’t like the regular sized ones that keep taking up residence behind the shutters. *Shudder*
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Harry Potter: his friend Ron can handle a lot, but spiders? "I don't LIKE spiders.... :-("
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I haven't read this series yet but I've had my eye on it. Thanks for the follow too! I'm now following you as well!
ReplyDeleteSmiles!

Oh no I'm arachnophobic! Maybe I shouldn't read this book 0_o

I don't care for spiders, but I really don't like clowns. Sounds silly, but I find them creepy. I haven't heard of this series, so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOL! LOVE the teasers! Although, flesh eating horses would wig the bloody HELL outta me more than the spiders....*shudders in horror* =)

ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I haven't yet read these (although I do have a NetGalley download to get to), but I'm always behind in my reading anyway! LOL! Giant spiders?

I don't like any of those things so I've drawn the line way before the spiders! :D But the key word is giant spiders so that really does make it so much worse. Such a great teaser that definitely strikes fear in my thoughts! Nice choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by my blog!
