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

My Tease for this week is from
One More Day
An Anthology by multiple authors
There are 7 short stories in this anthology and I chose a brief tease from each one.
Time Piece by Anna Simpson
She reaches out a hand, letting the golden watch swing in my face.
“It’s the key to–” She jumps and glances behind her.
Dark Rose by Marissa Halvorson
Why come all the way to this world to ruin it?
Dragon Flight by J. Keller Ford
I close my eyes and breathe deep, certain I’m mistaken, but when I open my eyes, the veil remains.
The 13th Month by L.S. Murphy
I stood, not knowing my next move, and trying not to freak out as I stared down at my hand, half expecting it to glow or something.
Sleepless Beauty by Kimberly Kay
Will I remain seventeen, or will I grow old and die while just sitting around?
Stage Fright by Erika Beebe
“Ever since you moved here, you’ve been trying to steal my life. You’re going to burn for this, Hannah.”
A Morrow More by Danielle E. Shipley
I have yet to lose my fascination with Inkborn hair.
Or Inkborn movement.
Or the king’s part-Inkborn son.
~~~
So, which one grabs you the most?

Synopsis
What if today never ends?
What if everything about life—everything anyone hoped to be, to do, to experience—never happens?
Whether sitting in a chair, driving down the road, in surgery, jumping off a cliff or flying … that’s where you’d be … forever.
Unless …
In One More Day, Erika Beebe, Marissa Halvorson, Kimberly Kay, J. Keller Ford, Danielle E. Shipley and Anna Simpson join L.S. Murphy to give us their twists, surprising us with answers to two big questions, all from the perspective of characters under the age of eighteen.
How do we restart time?
How do we make everything go back to normal?
The answers, in whatever the world—human, alien, medieval, fantasy or fairytale—could,maybe, happen today.
Right now.
What would you do if this happened … to you?

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
The title grabbed me immediately, but I’m not much of a short story reader.
Mine this week is from Death of a Policeman by M C Beaton: http://wp.me/pZnGI-iW
I never used to be and now I eat them up like M&Ms. LOL
I agree with Dagny, catchy title. Enjoy!
sherry @ fundinmental My TT
It is. It works with the theme too.
I just noticed that this is your 100th TT, Laura. Congratulations!
I know!! I love this meme. I’ve met so many awesome people and discover a bunch of great books and authors. Here’s to another 100!
I love anthologies. I will definitely be searching for this one. Sounds so interesting. Great tease.
My Teaser this week
I hope you read it. I flew through these and enjoyed all of them.
What a brilliant sounding anthology and great that you’ve given a taster of each one. Thanks for visiting my TT https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/teaser-tuesday-february-3/
They were all so good I couldn’t share just one! Like Lays Potato Chips. LOL
Love the cover of this book, but I´m not sure it is anything for me! 🙂
I might not have thought they were for me a few years ago. I’ve tried so many new genres since then, even some erotica, and now I’ll try anything so I don’t miss the good ones like these.
Very interesting!
Mine this week is a middle-grade fantasy: http://pdworkman.com/excerpt-from-island-of-fog/
They are!
I love short stories, ironically, am also featuring a book of shorts this week by Gaiman.
So do I. I loved the ones you featured and added it to my wishlist so I’ll grab it on my next book buying mission! I have to read something by him.
Nice teasers from the stories. I love the cover! Thank you for stopping by. 🙂

I had fun choosing them and there were plenty of good ones to choose from:)
The inkborn thing stands out.
That’s why I had to use it!
Stage Fright stood out for me. Thanks for visiting my blog. Nadene@Totally Addicted to Reading.
It’s a good one!
Sleepless Beauty sounds interesting.
Here’s my link: http://awrenfro.com/2015/02/03/teaser-tuesday-the-shining-by-stephen-king/#comment-3156
It has a good spin on it! I like the one you chose too. That book had so many good quotes you could use.
Almost all of the stories sound appealing to me, but I’m really curious about Sleepless Beauty. Maybe because sometimes I feel like I’m seventeen, and sometimes I feel like I’m getting old just sitting around!
My Tuesday post features SIX STRINGS.
Me too Sandra! I don’t recognize myself when I look in the mirror sometimes. Shocks me. LOL
That’s a nice selection of teasers. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Marilyn. I had fun picking them.
I wasn’t crazy about the last short story anthology I read. I guess I wasn’t spending enough time with the characters. I’m curious how you felt about it. The cover’s pretty!
I finished it. I would have loved more from each story but the authors did a great job entertaining me and I’m satisfied:)
I like the teaser from Dark Rose the most.
Here’s a link to mine, taken from Alice and the fly:

You’d like it. Not what you’re thinking:) I want to read Alice and the Fly. I’m seeing it everywhere.
Wow, big questions for an anthology. And for kids under 18 🙂
I expect it’s okay for younger readers because they are short stories. Nothing in there I wouldn’t let my teen read:)
Ooooh, this sounds really great, and all the teasers are fantastic! I hope the book lives up to expectations!
Thanks for having dropped by my blog!
It did!
Great teasers! The title is interesting and I will be looking into this anthology. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I really enjoyed them and hope you check them out:)
Short stories generally aren’t my thing, but there are some nice teasers here.
They grew on me and now I love them!
DARK ROSE and THE 13TH MONTH book have very intriguing teasers! I’ll have to pick this anthology up from the library – I love the premise. 🙂
All of them are good. Great work by all of the authors:)
I love anthologies! This is going straight on my TBR list! Thanks for sharing it! And, for stopping by my blog! Cheers!
So do I! I like to see how each author spins the theme.
Dark Rose sounds very interesting! Thanks for stopping by!
It was very interesting. That’s all I can tell ya! LOL
So many teasers! Thanks for sharing a little from each!
I thought this would be fun and different. I enjoyed choosing for each story:)
Great post Laura! I sense this is a book that would pose questions and challenge the reader’s perspectives, I so enjoy books like these 🙂
You nailed it Claudia!
I’m always hesitant when it comes to anthologies… I am so greedy I rather prefer full-length novels 😉
I hope you enjoyed this one, and I’ll check out your review to see if maybe I’ll add it for some shorter stories when I don’t have much time for reading.
I never used to read them. I preferred full length novels. Now, I’m in love with them. I ended up reading this twice now. My review will be up later this month.
What a gorgeous cover! The excerpts are intriguing 🙂
These are all good ones Nyze!
That is a good collection of teasers! And they are really awesome! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
I’ll be reviewing these soon!
