Teaser Tuesday and Room by Emma Donoghue Giveaway.

Room is one of the 13 books selected for the longlist of the 2010 Man Booker Award. I will featured all 13 in upcoming posts.

Here are the beginning lines of Room.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

I'm still reading A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay. I took a vacation -- from everything, including reading! So my Teaser Tuesday is again from A Secret Kept.

"I want to call Melanie about all this, and nearly do, but it is getting on for one o'clock in the morning.
