Tuesday Teasers and What I Added to My Stack this Week

I am reading this on my Kindle; so my teaser is Loc 843, 18 percent:

“‘Doormat, are we there?'” I asked cautiously. It felt weird talking to a carpet, but I asked anyway. I felt him flex a little beneath us, but I didn’t know whether it was just an answer or just the wind.”

…”There were two bumps. Darn, I thought. That meant no. Maybe the carpet really was talking to us. ‘Oh yeah. Did you hear that? I’m not a doffus.’ Zak said. ‘Doormat’s got my back.'”

I also received a new book for my stack. Another prize book from a recent giveaway hosted by Vera Godley:

My teaser from page 158 of this book:

“Miss Walker narrowed her eyes. ‘And what dreadful crimes are you guilty of, pray tell?’

Stretch cleared his throat, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down like a rubber ball. ‘I’m a wanted man, but it’s all a misunderstaning. All I did was walk into a bank, and a woman teller thrust a bag of money at me. ‘“
