Can I die now? I dry-retched again. It felt like all my innards were trying to crawl out the hard way. I thought I was outside. I know that house. That was where we lived Before.






"Seriously, Taylor, do you know who I am?" he demanded. 
She smiled at this. "You celebrities actually say that? That’s cute."






I like that about art, that what you see is sometimes more about who you are than what’s on the wall. I look at this painting and think about how everyone has some secret inside, something sleeping like that yellow bird.

A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl


They laugh at each other, all superior. One says, "You're the one who needs to get a clue. I mean, hello, Red Light? Are you that stupid you don't even know when someone's calling you a whore?"A Bad Boy Can Be Good For A Girl by Tanya Lee Stone



Delirium


When I'm asked to give my favorite color, for just the briefest, tiniest of seconds my mind flashes on a sky te color of polished silver, and I think I hear a word-gray-whispered into my ear.Delirium by Lauren Oliver




Across the Universe

Elder doesn't watch the couple on the bench, he's watching me. The rain in pouring harder now, and I think about going in, but in a strange way I like how the rain makes me feel as if I am grounded, connected to this place. Even though I know the rain is fake, it feels the same as real rain, and I desperately need that.Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Spellbound (Harlequin Teen)
How do I say hello? Is this too much of a statement to make?
I didn't know what to do, remembering how I embarrassed myself the Monday after we had hung out together at the Met. Only this time, his rebuttal would absolutely flatten me.
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz 


Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely (Quality))
Aislinn looked at him, at her friends who where staring at him adoringly. 
He caught her gaze and smiled.


Wake (Wake Series, Book 1)

"Why?" she asks.
"I can't tell you. You'll have to to trust me."
Janie takes a step back. The words ring familiar in her ears. She asked the same of him once.

My Teasers

Nevermore (Nevermore, #1)
He blinked once, then slowly lifted one hand and crooked a beckoning finger at her. Isobel hesitated but then as though spellbound to obey, she found herself leaning in. “What are you staring at?” he whispered.
and
"Because," said Varen, "in the end, Death always wins."At these words, Isobel recoiled. She took her hands from the table and put them into her lap, shoulders hunching. "You know," she said, "no offence, but it's when you say stuff like that that people start to worry about you."Nevermore by Kelly Creagh






Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1)
She wrapped her arms around him."I'm sorry I wasn't there earlier," he whispered, holding her tightly to him.
and
"She doesn't like you.""She will." He stepped outside and shook off the glamour. Then he said the words that'd sealed so many mortal girls' fates. "I've dreamed about her. She's the one."Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr

Blue Noon (Midnighters, #3)"Fifteen!" Dess's distant cry reached him. "Where the hell are you, Rex? Ten. You're-an-idiot-nine, get-back-here-eight, you-dimwit-seven..." 

and

He squeezed her hand. "Then I'll come get you, wherever you are when it happens. We'll be okay."
"But what about everybody else?"
He stared out across the river, nodding slowly. "My guess is, everybody else is in big trouble." 

Blue Noon by Scott Westerfeld




The Fallen Blade: Act One of the Assassini"They say Mamluk spies burnt a Cypriot ship." 
Did they now? Roderigo smiled grimly. He'd told his men to say nothing of what had happened, but this was better than expected.

and

"What makes this killing different?"
"The murderer. A boy was seen nearby. Naked, with silvergrey hair. The Watch believe he was her attacker."

Just finished Camille and Hush Hush

Camille

Strider stopped me and grabbed hold of my arm to turn me toward him. Water streamed over both our faces as we stared at each other. He pressed a finger against my bottom lip which was trembling more from the look he was giving me than the frigid air. "Of course, there's bad trouble and good trouble."
Camille by Tess Oliver 


Hush, Hush"Like the way I feel about being locked up in here with you." Patch braced one hand against the mirror behind me, his weight tipping toward me. "You have no idea what you do to me."
I shook my head. "I don't think so. This isn't a good idea. This isn't right."
"There's all kinds of right," he murmured. "On the spectrum, we're still in the safe zone."
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick







and starting If I Stay and The Fallen Blade




The Fallen Blade: Act One of the Assassini (The Vampire Assassin Trilogy)"Ask him, my lady." 
"I'm asking you." It was rare for her to frown. So rare her face looked wrong. Her nostrils flared and her lips thinned, lines appearing at the side of her mouth.
"My lady," he said carefully. "I'm not allowed to tell you."
The Fallen Blade by Jon Courtenay Grimwood

If I Stay


I think we were both aware that we were falling in love. I thought that getting to this part was the challenge. In books and movies, the stories always end when the two people finally have their romantic kiss. The happily-ever-after part is just assumed. 
If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Hush, HushPatch looked like he was trying not to crack a grin. "That's it? No punches? No biting, clawing, or hair pulling?"
I narrowed a look at him. 
"Are we going to have to teach you how to fight, Angel?"
"I can fight." I tipped my chin up in spite of my lie.
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick


Hex, A Witch and Angel Tale"I love how you look at me."
"And how's that?" I asked, blushing on cue. 
His lower lip curled in that mischievous way it did. 
"Like you're having a hard time deciding between my lips and this blueberry pie. And I know nothing comes between you and this pie."
I giggled. "Very observant. Wonder which one will win?"

Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 1)


He  swiveled back to face me. His pupils were dilated and I could  smell his excitement. He gave me a hoarse chuckle, leaned toward me, and whispered those three magical words.
"Time to hunt."

Stargazer (Evernight)
"Dana." Lucas gave her his most melting, pleading look. "I haven't seen Bianca in months. Come on."

My Teasers

I finished these books the past week but I never got the chance to feature them on Teaser Tuesday so here they are...


The ABC's of Kissing Boys

But his voice cut through the air. "You'd better find someone to find to teach you this stuff, Parker, if you're ever going to keep a boyfriend. Because it sure won't be with your sparkling personality!"
The ABC's of Kissing Boys by Tina Ferraro

Never Cry Werewolf



"So, um, what about the wolf's feeding habits? I mean, should I be worried?" I said, my voice unnaturally high and squeaky.
Never Cry Werewolf by Heather Davis






So I have been reading for a couple weeks these books since I didn't have much time to finish them :( due to midterms but now I'm on Spring Break! :) This week I intend to read a lot! 


Secret Society (Secret Society Novel)


"Phoebe?" Nick paused for a moment. "I can't wait to see you."
Secret Society by Tom Dolby

They're prepared. They're ready for this. I've led us into a trap.
Savannah Grey by Cliff McNish







These are the books I intend to start reading next this week and can't wait!


Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 1)


"Truce?" he said.
"Whatever." 
"Love those definitive answers. I'll take that as a yes. Not that we're done with our little discussion, but I'll let it ride for now. Tell me when you want to pick it up again."
"Tell when Satan starts a snowball fight."
"I'll do that. Lunch?"
Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

Textual Healing




"Brian I seriously can't believe you are a real person," I said, "who DOES that."
"Hey man, it's a rating system. Most girls tend to score right on it or a little above."
