You all know how much I love book trailers! I made my using the nifty site, Animoto. You can sign up for a free account and create 30 second videos.
Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.
It's a lot of fun and really easy to use. You can create videos from vacation pictures and create a really outstanding presentation for a class.

Teaser Tuesday
"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
• 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!"
Here's my teaeser:
"A sense of loneliness crept over her despite being in the crowded little chamber. She couldn't believe people lived this way once, with nothing but the real."
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
This book has been getting a lot of buzz and has been optioned by Warner Bros. to be made into a movie. Be sure to jump on this bandwagon before you're left behind!

Here's my Teaser:
"Yeah, I had all kinds of tragic reasons for feeling sorry for myself; being fifteen didn't help. Sometimes I thought that being fifteen was the worst tragedy of all."

Full disclosure: I am reading an Advanced Readers Copy of this book. It will be released February 21, 2012. I am almost done reading it and I highly recommend you get your hands on a copy as soon as you can!
