"He says my name and his voice his so hoarse and hypnotic it pulls me up onto my feet, pulls me across miles of shame and guilt. I don't want to go to him, but I do want to too. "

-Pg.36,The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

"I almost expect the trees to lower their branches when we pass, the stars to hand down some light. I breathe in the horsey scent of eucalyptus, the thick sugary pine, aware of each breath I take, how each one keeps me in the world longer. "

pg. 76, The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

Sorry, I definitely cheated this time! I even wanted to post a third teaser. The whole book was filled with amazing lines to choose from. I'm not even half way done yet, I'm trying to ration it out, so it won't end. <3

"Lola stood in front of the mirror, dripping water all over the mosaic-tiled floor, wondering how her life had gotten so complicated. True, she may have been just the tiniest bit responsible for keeping secrets from those who she loved, but was it really such a bad thing to want to make everyone around you happy?"

-pg.61, Laguna Cove by Alyson Noel



I'm really loving this one so far. It's exactly the type of book I needed after reading Forbidden. Look out for the review coming soon :)

-pg. 170, Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma


I'm feeling so many different things right now, I can barely explain. I'm in them middle of reading this one and I've had to reread several pages over again to comprehend what was going on.

-pg. 187, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

-pg.235, The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

-pg.201, Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles


Starting this book at 8:00 last night wasn't the best idea, seeing as I finished it in one sitting. I remember seeing this book last year and just passing by, if it wasn't for the blogging community, I have a feeling I would have never read this. So thank you! Full review to come very soon :)

"All this time I've had this weird feeling, like a phantom limb," he said. "You know how, when they cut off your leg or something, they say you can still feel it even after it's gone? Your foot itches, you go to scratch it... but there's nothing to scratch. That's how I felt for ten years. Like something-or someone-is connected to me by an invisible cord, and it's always tugging, tugging, tugging...but when I try to reel it in, there's nothing on the other end." 
-pg.70, How To Say Goodbye In Robot by Natalie Standiford
