Memorable Monday #8 : A Quote From Frost

 This totally awesome meme is hosted by the ladies at Escape in a Book, and invites us to share quotes we like.

Hello, long time no see.  I've been spending a  lot of time with duds, so not many quotables there. I came across a quote in one of my most recent reads, and I wanna share! It's from Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep.

    Once you believe in something, you give it life and form and substance. 

 

With one exception (I could discuss this but then we'd get into religious talk here) I think this holds true for most of life.

Memorable Monday #7: Terrible Again!!!

This meme is fast becoming one of my favorites ever!  Memorable Monday is a new meme hosted by the ladies over at Escape in a Book, and invites us to share a memorable quote from something we've read/ are reading.


Okay, I haven't read any books with notable moments, lately. But when in doubt, rely on oldy-but-goody.

Stacia Kane. We're talking Terrible here, people, Terrible! Who happens to be one of the awesomest heroes anywhere!! And our tidbit from Terrible is not from a specific book, but a specific saying:

Give you whatany you want, Chessiebomb, whatany you want. 

Ai, it fair kills me with love for him when he says that. I melt!If you know Terrible, you know what I mean, and chances are  it does the same to you. If you don't know him, well, whatever are you waiting for? Go grab a book!!!

Today's quote comes to you by courtesy of Curran, another of my favorite heroes evarrrrr!!!!! This is taken from his POV from Magic Strikes:

Kate short-circuits my brain. In my head we always have these clear and coherent exchanges, but once we meet, what comes out is, "Kate, do as I say or I will kill you." Her default reply is "Fuck you!" and we go downhill from there. 

Gotta love Curran! :D

Memorable Monday #4

Memorable Monday is a new meme hosted by the ladies over at Escape in a Book, and invites us to share a memorable quote from something we've read/ are reading.

Today's quote is from one of my all-time favorite books by one of my all-time favorite authors. I have no words to tell how much I love Sharon Shinn and Archangel. If you haven't read it, you should! Someday, I'll do a reread again and post a whole new review :)

This is Hannah describing Gabriel to Rachel:

"... he takes most things seriously. He can be difficult. He can be very sure of himself, so other people's opinions do not always matter to him. He thinks it's a very easy matter to separate right from wrong, good from bad, so subtleties often elude him. He is not patient. But he is - he is never less than committed to making things right. Everything he does is with the goal of bringing goodness to the world. I can't explain what I mean. There is no evil in him. That is a rare thing to say about anyone, even an angel."

How awesome is that? This quote describes Gabriel so perfectly! A man (well, he's actually an angel) with real flaws, not ersatz/minor ones. But who, when you strip everything away, is a truly good man, the kind of man you want to have your back, the kind of man you want to run your country, the kind of person you want to be at the heart of it. I know I say this a lot, but I LOVE Gabriel. he is one of the first ever heroes/main characters I fell in love with, and he has a special place of honor on my heroes-I-love shelf. Rachel too, but this post isn't about her :)

Memorable Monday #3

This meme is fast becoming one of my favorites ever!  Memorable Monday is a new meme hosted by the ladies over at Escape in a Book, and invites us to share a memorable quote from something we've read/ are reading.

Today's quote is from a book I just finished reading: Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane. There are so many good quotes to highlight what I want, I don't know which on to choose. So here goes:

"So why do you work for Bump?"
"Only thing I ever good at"
"What, beating people up?"
He nodded "I got no school, you know. No family. Bump took me in, I just a kid. Getting in street fights for food, sleeping any flat wheres I could find. Now I don't have to fight. Nobody wanna dance with me." Faint pride colored his voice as he spoke the last sentence.

This is Terrible's life story, as told to Chess I LOVE Terrible. One of the best characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading since I began reading romance and (urban) fantasy.. He's a badass - his job requires hat he be one but I don't know anyone else who's a bona fide thug (dude's an enforcer for a drug dealer, or as my friend put it, professional bully) who also manages to be so genuinely sweet, so kind, so considerate.  Okay enough rambling.
 

Memorable Monday #2

Memorable Monday is a new meme hosted by the ladies over at Escape in a Book, and invites us to share a memorable quote from something we've read/ are reading.

This week's quote also comes from Alpha and Omega. Bran is talking to Anna on the phone, and after she tells him that Charles' wolf has claimed her as his own and that he thinks she is an Omega werewolf. Bran goes silent for a while and then says

"Oh his brother is going to tease him unmercifully about this. Why don't you tell me everything that has happened. Start with picking Charles up at the airport please."

I love this quote because it is one of three that shows how Samuel's brother and father see him: the joker, the prankster, the one with so much joy in him. Not the Samuel we've seen of late, bowed under so much pain. He's my favorite character in both of Patricia's series' and I so badly want him to be happy.

Memorable monday #1

Three guesses where/who I saw doing this meme. Sigh. So I am still only going to do two memes a week.  Instead of a Waiting on Wednesday this week, we're going to have a Memorble Monday (yes it's Tuesday, I'm late I know, but still ^_^)

Here goes!!




My entry is from Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs, found in On the Prowl (an anthology). The review for the anthology will be up on Friday. Anyway here's my absolute favorite line from the book:

"I promise you will enjoy sex with me," he murmured.

Oh Charles Cornick, you stud, you! What we have here is Charles being all suave and cool after he'd told Anna his wolf wanted her for a mate and she'd told him bitingly that after being treated like a whore for a year, she didn't like sex. Patty keeps her series really vanilla, and Charles is really somber, so for him to go all studly and say something like this...It made me giggle so much.  Alpha and Omega is a very short story that worth way more than its weight in gold. You should check it out!
