"And here was the message: the head hung separately, the body parts stacked on my ice tray, and that damned mirror again. Combined with the total lack of interest in everything else in the apartment, it all added up to only one thing.
But what?"
page 129 of Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
Such a good TV show and so far, the book is really good too! I highly suggest both. Review for this one should be up sometime tomorrow since I'm sure I'll finish it tonight.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about gift certificates…
Do you give gift certificates to book stores as presents? If so, do you give for actual stores or online stores? Do you like to receive them yourself?
I like to give book store gift certificates for presents to people that I know like books, but I don't necessarily know what they've read or would like to read. My husband and I actually gave Barnes and Noble gift cards to our host couple (an aunt and uncle) because we knew that they both like to read quite a bit, and we didn't know what restaurants they had near them, so a restaurant gift card was out. Barnes and Noble is my default gift card to get for a gift since they are pretty much everywhere (there's no Borders here, the closest is an hour away) and if there isn't a B&N around, you can also use it online. Their shipping rates are pretty reasonable as well. Oh, and if I do get someone an actual book as a gift, I almost always get that at B&N as well, and include a gift receipt just in case.
I absolutely LOVE getting bookstore gift cards. I definitely try to use them to get something that I wouldn't normally get for myself, like a hardcover book that I've been waiting for to come out or a couple of paperbacks that I could get from the library, but really want to OWN! The next bookstore gift card I get, I'll be using it to get The Outlandish Companion. Hopefully I get one soon!
Love it! I recognized your teaser before I was finished the first line. I love the Dexter books, and what I've seen of the TV show. Excellent teaser!
ReplyDeleteMy own is at Bookishgal.
Love the Dexter TV show, but haven't read any of the books. I'll check back for your review. Nice teaser!
ReplyDeleteI totally have to get to the Dexter series in book form. I am head over heels for the TV show - renting it season by season on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteMy boys love the Dexter series.
ReplyDeleteYikes. I'm not familiar with the tv show, but the teaser sounds scary! Then again, I'm scared by those winged monkeys in the Wizard of Oz . . .
ReplyDeleteVery interesting teaser.
