Today’s Teaser Tuesday: Into the dim
Title: Into the DImAuthor: Janet B. Taylor
Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: March 1, 2016
When fragile, sixteen-year-old Hope Walton loses her mom to an earthquake overseas, her secluded world crumbles. Agreeing to spend the summer in Scotland, Hope discovers that her mother was more than a brilliant academic, but also a member of a secret society of time travelers. Trapped in the twelfth century in the age of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Hope has seventy-two hours to rescue her mother and get back to their own time. Along the way, her path collides with that of a mysterious boy who could be vital to her mission . . . or the key to Hope’s undoing
Thoughts
Into the Dim is really interesting so far! I am loving the Scottish aspects and the dialect. I’m very excited for the secret society to be introduced as well.
Book Quotes: Into the DIm
“Feeling as though I’d been buffeted about by a tiny, blue tornado, I whispered to the now-empty room. ‘But why would she lie to us?'”
About Janet B. Taylor
Janet Taylor lives in such a small town in Arkansas that if you happen to sneeze when you pass by, you'll totally miss it. (Cause, you know, you can't sneeze with your eyes open. For real--try it--it's impossible)
Her first novel, INTO THE DIM, (which debuted 3/1/2016 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is about a 16 year old girl who travels through time. Totally on purpose and stuff.
Her second book, SPARKS OF LIGHT (HMH, 8/1/2017) is the sequel, and continues three months after INTO THE DIM leaves off.
She's a reader/fan first and a writer second. She lives with her fantastic husband, two hilarious sons, and Dorda the diabetic dog who won't win any beauty contests, but has a "nice personality".
If you have done a Teaser Tuesday yourself, leave a comment with your link and I will be sure to check it out. 🙂
I need to buy this book. Nice teaser
Good teaser. Why would she lie indeed. Mine is from Bitter Bite by Jennifer Estep
Sounds interesting. I’ve read Outlander and while I enjoyed it I didn’t love it. Might wait for your final verdict 🙂
Ohh, such a good teaser! I didn’t know about that book up until now, and I definitely am curious about it! 😀 Thank you for sharing!
The premise of this book sounds so interesting! I love that there’s some travelling into the past. I hope that part and the culture in those time periods get built up and developed nicely. Lovely teasers too!
There are so many incredible layers to this story! I think that you will really enjoy this one! 🙂
I’m not a big fan of time travel but this one sounds good. I hope you enjoy it. My YA teaser comes from The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine. Happy reading!
This one sounds like a great book! Here’s my teaser this week from Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard.
Good teaser. Here’s mine: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1bS
I got an e-ARC of this one too, and I had some issues with it. Glad you’re enjoying it, though!
My teaser is from Sarah Rees Brennan’s TELL THE WIND AND FIRE:

Great teaser I have this on my TBR pile and can’t wait to read!
I just finished this lovely little time-travel adventure. Looking forward to seeing what you think about it!
I think 2016 is the year of time travel or maybe I’e just come accross many time travelling books?? IDK but once again this synopsis has really drawn me in and I love the little teaser!
You are so right! There is an abundance of time travel books out there! <3
I just finished this one and I ended up enjoying it a lot! It does start out a bit slow and it is a bit long, but it’s still very interesting. But then it picks up and I kind of loved it. The world building with London in 1154 was amazing. I really want to read the sequel!
