Good afternoon everyone! Since I'm not ready to post another review yet, I figured I'd do a fun and easy quotes post, especially since I acquired some beautiful quotes from Maggie Stiefvater's Forever. Anyways, here are the quotes! Feel free to comment and share some of your favorite book quotes!
Some of this are funny, and some are more serious.
1. "People don't change who they are, they only change what they do with it." (Forever by Maggie Stiefvater, page 99)
2."There is no better taste than this: someone else's laughter in your mouth." (Forever by Maggie Stiefvater, page 78)
3. "It's so Minnesota out here. I hadn't realized." (Forever by Maggie Stiefvater) Okay, I only included this one because I'm a Minnesotan ,but so what?
4. "You had sex with Johnafter?" "I told you no, but I saw the promised land." (Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols, page 226)
5. "That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening." (The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, page 374)
6."I have an assignation in Soho this evening with a certain attractive someone." "Goodness, if you keep seeing Six-Fingered Nigel like this, he'll expect you to declare your intentions." (Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, page 117)
7."I'm dating Brandon." "Really?" "Yes!" "I'll print you a wallet card to whip out every time you need to say that, so you can save your voice." "Can you laminate it?" (Forget You by Jennifer Echols, page 164)
Those are the quotes for today, hope you enjoyed them!
Love always,
Amanda

Quotes 7.8.2011
Doing quotes again! Because I love doing them so much!If you would like to read others, clickity clack the "Fun Stuff" link on that side -->, then click "Quotes", maybe you'll find a new book to read if it has a quote you really like, you never know :)
If you want to post some of your fav quotes, or quotes from the book you are reading now I think that'd be really cool.
Just a suggestion.
5.) "Magic. It was magic, and the magic is called love." (Beastly, Alex Flinn)
4.) "The trouble with anger is, it gets hold of you. And then you aren't the master of yourself anymore. Anger is." (The City of Ember, Jeanne DuPrau)
3.) "It's not reasonable to love people who are only going to die"
"I have two responses to that, First, everyone's going to die. Second, love is stupid. It has nothing to do with reason. You love whomever you love." (Fire, Kristen Cashore)
2.) "Pity does not get you aid. Admiration at your refusal to give in does." (The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins)
1.) "And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time." (The Sweet Far Thing, Libba Bray)
Don't forget to comment or click the "I love it" button at the bottom of this post if you want me to continue quotes.
And I'd maybe, kind of, insanely love it if you posted some of your own favourite quotes, or just some quotes from the book you're currently reading.
Once again, just a wish of mine. :)
Have a lovely Friday!

Quotes 10.15.2010
Wow! I realised that I haven't done quotes since dinosaurs roamed the Earth and I think it's about time I started them again, actually, I think its time I started posting again. But I won't bore you with the details in this post because right after I am doing an explaining post :) So... here we go!
These quotes are all from The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, who is practically my hero when it comes to writing, and naturally I was the first in line for his new book ;) review coming soon!!
5. "Reinforcements, Hedge told me an extraction squad was coming for us."
"Extraction squad? That sounds painful."
4. "That's the symbol of Vulcan isn't it?"
"Vulcan? What are you talking about? I don't even LIKE Star Trek."
3. "Hardship, monsters, terrible suffering. Possibly none of you will come back alive."
"Oh. I mean... Oh, cool! Suffering? I love suffering! Let's do this."
2. "You named him Festus? You know in Latin, 'festus' means 'happy'? You want us to ride off to save the world on Happy the Dragon?"
1. "You are about to see the Grand Canyon. Try not to break it. The skywalk can hold the weight of seventy jumbo jets, so you featherweights should be safe out there. If possible, try to avoid pushing each other over the edge, as that would cause me extra paperwork."
Well, That's all for now!
tootles!

Quotes 8.14.2010
Hey guys I haven't done quotes in a while so I thought I would do them today.
These quotes are from The Demon's Covenant by Sarah Rees Brennan, I would've put up The Demon's Lexicon quotes but I lost them in my Nook and I have no idea where they went! So, yeah these are from the second book but I promise not to spoil anything!
5. "I have friends in Exeter already. I have -- those people, you know, they hang around outside the bike sheds, they're always hassling Jamie."
"Those are some awesome dudes, don't let them get away."
4. Alan had explained that circles with knives inside were a sign magicians had their messengers carry, promising death to anyone who interfered with them.
Mae had always thought that jewelry should make a statement.
3. "I thought demons weren't supposed to lie,"
"We don't, but I am in full possession of the amazing power of being sarcastic."
2. "Sometimes when you pull knives on people, they get this impression that you're going to hurt them, and then they're completely terrified. Crazy, I know!"
1. "I came to gaze on your sleeping face. Only you had the blanket over your head, so I just had to gaze at a lump I thought was your sleeping face, and that turned out to be your shoulder. Which just wasn't as special."
"Your life is hard."
Those are your quotes today!

Quotes 7.7.2010
Hey guys! Today I'm doing Linger quotes. If you follow us on Twitter (which you should! there's a link over there <---) You would know I was angry because my family didn't have any post-its so I couldn't mark quotes! But I did find a few when I re-skimmed it :)
5. "Hi, sorry I'm naked."
"I'm Isabel. What are you doing in my house?"
4. "Didn't Doctor Carrotnose warn you I might act out if you kept ignoring me? Well this is me acting out!"
3. "Why aren't you a wolf right now Cole?"
"I wouldn't have met you otherwise."
2. "That bad?"
"Yeah, it's like you were eating an apple."
"Rematch?"
1. "I am, quite possibly, utterly incapable of making a decision that is not self serving in absolutely every way."
"I keep waiting for you to tell me something I don't already know."
Let me know what you thought of these quotes and the Linger review should be coming up the weekend before the book release unless you want it now.

Quotes 7.6.2010
Okay, since the trailer that I'm about to put up is a City of Bones trailer, I thought I would do The Mortal Instruments quotes! They're always fun!
These are all from a doc saved on my computer so I'm not even going to try to figure out which books they are from. If you would like to know about a specific quote, I'll track it down for you. If you ask nicely :). All are quotes from Cassandra Clare.
5."From now on I will only address people by nodding at them."
"That's stupid why would you do that?"
"Because it says that 'I am a badass, and I recognize that you too, are a badass'"
4. "Do you want some soup?"
"No"
"Do you think Hodge would like some soup?"
"No one wants any soup."
"I would like some soup."
"No you don't, you just want to sleep with Isabelle."
3. "Enormous? Did you just call me fat?"
"It was an analogy."
"I am not fat."
2. "Unfortunately, my one true love remains myself"
"At least you don't have to worry about rejection"
"Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting."
1. "I kind of doubt he sent a Ravener demon to her house because he wants to 'get back together,'"
"It wouldn't be my move, first the candy and flowers, then the apology letters, then the ravenous demon hordes. In that order."
You can read my City of Bones review HERE and let me know what you thought about The Mortal Instruments series, and these quotes!

Quotes 7.5.2010
Hey everyone, doing quotes early so I can go right to bed super duper early... I can't remember the last time I've even thought about going to bed this early, but I'm going to do them now because I'm trying to see how long I can go posting quotes daily. These are from The Summer of Skinny Dipping by Amanda Howells
5. "Thanks for the swim, you are a majestic swimmer"
"You talk a lot of crap, you know that?"
"Thank you for appreciating my verbal stylings"
4. "My mother's family is Scottish. I shouldn't even be in this climate. I should be out on the moors in the rain, with my brethren. In a kilt. With bagpipes."
3. I stared up at the stars and thought about light, how bright and powerful it had to be to travel so far, all the way across the galaxies to our eyes... Or maybe it was our eyes that were powerful. I'd never thought of it that way before.
2. "Nothing is certain, except for one thing."
"What's that?"
"If you don't have dreams, they wont come true."
1."I get it, you need your beauty sleep."
"Do I?"
"Well... you're a girl and all..."
"Thanks for telling me."

Quotes 7.4.2010
Happy Independence Day for all of you in the US, for those of you not in the US, happy fourth of July! This is the longest I've lasted doing quotes every day! So I'm super excited about that, I don't really have a theme, so it's just going to be random. Be warned usually when I'm out of ideas I jump to the good old Mortal Instruments quotes, so we'll see what today brings!
*** Apperently I really wanted Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick quotes, because that's what they all are ***
5. "You smell good, too,” said Patch
"It’s called a shower.” I was staring straight ahead. When he didn’t answer, I turned sideways. “Soap. Shampoo. Hot water.”
"Naked. I know the drill."
4. "You possess other people's...bodies."
He accepted that statement with a nod.
"Do you want to possess my body?"
"I want to do a lot of things to your body, but that's not one of them"
3. "Cheshvan starts tonight," Rixon said, "What are you doing arsing around in a graveyard?"
"Thinking."
"Thinking?"
"A process by which I use my brain to make a rational decision."
2. "Before I forget, here's your homework. Where do you want me to put it?"
She pointed at the trash can. "Right there would be fine."
1. "For the first time all day I felt safe.
Except that Patch had cornered me in a dark tunnel and was possibly stalking me. Maybe not so safe."

Quotes 7.2.2010
Hopefully I'll get better at putting up quotes on a more regular basis... Here's the quotes this week from all Ally Carter books. In honor of the fact that I just finished Only the Good Spy Young, her sarcasm in writing is just amazing! I love it!
5.) ""Seriously," Macey snapped. "Go. Kiss. A baby"
"Can you believe her?" Preston asked, "Everytime she sees me, all she does is call me baby and talk about kissing."" (Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, Ally Carter)
4.) ""Either we're a team or we aren't. Either you trust me or you don't." Hale took a step toward her. "What's it going to be, Kat?" It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth." (Heist Society, Ally Carter)
3.) "So I hear we get to go to town this weekend. Want to catch a movie or something?
--Z
P.S. That is, if Jimmy doesn't mind.
Translation: This weekend might be a good chance for us to see each other outside our school in a social environment, free of competetiton. I do not view other boys as threats, and I enjoy making them seem insignificant by calling them the wrong names." (Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Ally Carter)
2.) "I'm prepared for a lot of scary situations. After all, in the last year I'd been fake kidnapped once, almost truly kidnapped twice, targeted by one international terrorist organization and two incredibly cute boys. So, scary? Yeah, scary and I go way back." (Only the Good Spy Young, Ally Carter)
1.) "Number of empty Ben & Jerry's containers:3-two mint chocolate cookie, one plain vanilla (Who buys plain vanilla ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, anyway? Is there a greater waste?)" (I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You, Ally Carter)
Let me know what you thought of these quotes and Ally's books!
