Top Ten Tuesday (32)

It’s Top 10 Tuesday (hosted at The Broke and the Bookish) and the topic is:

Top Ten Worlds I’d Never Want To Live In
and
Top Ten Characters I’d NEVER Want To Trade Places With

As a dystopian connoisseur, this week’s top ten was easy. SO easy in fact, I did both lists.  So even though I LOVE these books and want to read them over and over, I never want to live inside them.  Or be the characters in them.

That’s What He Said (9)

The lovely ladies over at Chapter Break have started a new meme on Thursdays!  That’s What He Said is simple: Just pick a favorite quote from one of your book boyfriend to his heroine. Keep in mind these are direct quotes from dialogue in a book!

Today I chose to spotlight a book I’ve been putting off for awhile.  MOSTLY because my heart is still a little bruised after the culmination of the series ending.  However, Alex Sheathes from the Delirium series definitely should make this post sooner or later.  So, here’s a few gems from Delirium.

“And how she looked at me like I could save her from everything bad in he world.

This was my secret: she was the one who saved me”
― Lauren Oliver, Alex

“I told you,” he whispers back. I can feel his breath just tickling the space behind my ear, making my hair prick up on my neck. “I like you.”
“You don’t know me,” I say quickly.
“I want to, though.”

They’ve all been asleep for years. You seemed… awake.

Ahh, another spectacular series that will just rip your heart out.  Those are fun aren’t they?

Until we meet again,
