Swoon worthy scenes
Since it's Valentine's Day, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite swoon worthy scenes with you, and I'd love to hear yours.
Halfway to the Graveby Jeaniene Frost
This scene is with Bones and Cat, about halfway through the book...
"Kitten, look at me," he said flatly.
I blinked. "I am."
"No, you're not." He slid closer, his eyes all green now. "You stare straight through me as if I'm not even there... "
Bones goes on a little, and I remember being on the edge of my seat thinking, yes Cat, look at him already! Because the reader already knows Bones is irresistibly handsome. Cat looks at him, really looks at him. She replies with two words:
"Kiss me."
The words left me without any thought, and I realized I'd secretly wanted to say them for awhile. Bones leaned over and his lips closed over mine softly. Gently. Giving me every opportunity to change my mind and push him away, but I didn't. I slid my arms around his neck and brought him closer.
It gets pretty steamy from there. Sigh. I could read that scene over and over. It's that good.
Perfect ChemestryBy Simone Elkeles
This scene is with Nikki (a girls from a wealthy family on the north side of town) and Luis (a guy from the south side). Nikki speaks first.
"Just for tonight, let's see what happens."
"And tomorrow?"
Tomorrow? "I haven't thought that far ahead. I just wanted to make out with you right now. You game?"
"That depends."
"On what?" I ask.
He leans forward and kisses the sensitive spot right under my ear, then whispers, "If you want to stop at kissing, or go further."
Will they go further? You just have to devour the pages to find out.
Die For Me
by Amy Plum
I just finished Die For Me. Below is the scene that had me swooning.
I looked up over my shoulder and registered his sincere expression. He turned me slowly to face him. He gazed at me for a full minute with his big dark eyes, as if trying to memorize every inch of my face.
Then he raised his hand to brush a lock of hair back from my face, tucking it gently behind my ear as he lifted my lips to his.
Our skin barely touched. He was hesitant, as if he knew what he wanted but was afraid of scaring me away. Our lips brushed, and I felt like a chord had been struck inside me, and my body was humming with a pure musical note.
And this is one of my favorite scenes between Isaac and Madison in my debut novel, Embrace.
Embrace
by Cherie Colyer
Isaac traced my lips with his thumb before he ran his fingers through my hair, twisting them around its length at the back of my head. His eyes scalded. I sucked in a breath, waiting to see what he'd do next. He leaned closer, his mouth inches from my ear. "That drives me crazy."
It was hard to think straight with him whispering in my ear. I had to try a couple times before I could ask, "What does?"
"The way your breath catches."
Oh, he could hear that. My cheeks warmed with embarrassment, but he couldn't see them, not with his lips against my neck . . .
[Spoiler deleted (sorry guys, don't want to giveaway the secret if you haven't read the book.)]
Isaac's lips moved to mine, and he kissed me more passionately than he ever had. His tongue brushed mine and retreated behind his lips, which moved over mine more urgently. . .
I hope you enjoyed some of my favorite swoon worthy scenes. So what are yours?

Follow Friday
I've just discovered this hop and love the idea. A big thanks to the hosts Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison. Learn more about this hop and the hosts by clicking on their names.
Q: What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?
This is a difficult question. I do have my favorite books. Ones I could read over and over again and never get tired of them. And as much as I love to revisit my favorite books, I'm going to have to say reading 100s of mediocre books, because in that stack of hundreds of books there is going to be my next favorite book. One I can safely add to my bookshelf and revisit again and again.
What do you think??

Donate those book! MG/YA Book Project
Many of you know Julie from A Tale of Many Reviews from her amazing blog. Julie is also an education consultant with her state's department of education. She works with schools to help increase student academic performance. Julie is collecting middle grade and young adult books to donate to 3 schools in need of updating their books which are sparse. If you are an author or a reader with extra books please consider donating. Julie's post with all the details can be found by clicking here. Julie is also looking to connect the students, authors, and the books via skype interviews and by encouraging students to write a review or be a guest reviewer on her blog. This is an amazing opportunity for students to get more involved in reading and hopefully develop a passion for literature. How awesome is that!

Thank you everyone!
Last week's book blog tours was so much fun. Julie from A Tale of Many Reviews was an amazing host. The bloggers who participated were terrific and I really enjoyed being able to read the reviews and hear what others had to say about Madison and her friends. So from the bottom of my heart...
Saturday I got to meet new readers and hang out with family and friends. I'd like to thank Starbucks for letting us take over a large section of the store. It was great to have so much support from everyone.
So what's next? Hopefully, I get butt in chair and finish the first draft of the novel I'm working on. There will be another giveaway. I'll be sharing my notes on writing a one sentence pitch. And at the end of the month I'll be celebrating the release of Jessica Therrien's novel, Oppression. After that, who knows.

Author Interview: Merely Dee by Marian Manseau Cheatham
Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Marian Manseau Cheatham, author of Merrily Me, a historical tale release last week. I'm fortunate to be in one of Marian's critique groups and had the pleasure of seeing this story come together. I'm looking forwarded to being able to read the entire novel.
Merely Dee
By Marian Manseau Cheatham
The 1915 Western Electric Employee Picnic is the social highlight of the year in Cicero, Illinois. Five steamers wait to ferry seven thousand passengers to the picnic grounds in Michigan City, Indiana. As teenager Dee Pageau packs her picnic basket and prepares to board the SS Eastland, she anticipates this will be the best day of her life. Dee hopes to spend time with her best friend, Mae Koznecki—but she also wants to get to know Mae's handsome brother, Karel, a little better. Dee has no idea that in a matter of hours, tragedy will strike.
Despite her mother's dark premonition that death awaits her if she boards the SS Eastland, Dee decides the risk is worth a chance for more time with Karel. Dee's excitement quickly turns to terror, though, when the ship capsizes at the dock, threatening the lives of everyone on board. Rescued from certain death—not once, but twice—by Karel and a mysterious stranger, Dee soon discovers that Mae is nowhere to be found. Dee can only sit back and wait to hear if she is trapped in the flooding bowels of the capsized ship or worse yet, dead.
In this captivating historical tale, Dee takes a coming-of-age journey like no other as she soon realizes that surviving the disaster is only the beginning.
Please help me welcome Marian.
Cherie: Tell us about your novel, Merely Dee, in your own words.
Marian: Merely Dee is YA historical fiction based on an actual event. The novel is suspenseful and tragic and sad, but also romantic, and in the end, full of hope for the future.
Cherie: It sounds like Merely Dee has it all. When will your book be available and where will readers be able to purchase it? Marian: It's now available and can be purchased at iuniverse.com, Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.com
Cherie: Where did you get the idea for your novel?Marian: The idea for Merely Dee came from a Manseau family story. The novel details the deadly capsizing of the SS Eastland, a passenger steamer leased by Western Electric employees for their 1915 company picnic. My Grandma Manseau had a ticket to that picnic, but the night before the big event, my great grandmother had a premonition of danger and begged my grandmother to stay home. Grandma Manseau listened to her mother and remained safely at home, but my character Dee Pageau does not obey her mother and sneaks off to the picnic. And of course, she finds herself aboard the Eastland on the morning of the historic disaster.
Cherie: I'm glad that your grandmother did listen to her great grandmother and that she passed the story down to you. What was the most difficult chapter to write?Marian: My most difficult chapter was Chapter 4 which begins only seconds after the Eastland capsizes. My protagonist has managed to survive, only to find herself a witness to hundreds of ghastly deaths. Researching the aftermath was gruesome and left me emotionally drained. I tried to express some of my own shock and horror through my character's eyewitness account.
Cherie: What are you working on now?Marian: I'm currently working on another historical YA. This novel is set in rural Japan during the summer of 1968. There's romance, humor, and an exotic location. What more could a teen reader want?
Cherie: Sounds like your next novel will be just as exciting as Merely Dee. Is there anything else you'd like to share with the reader?Marian: I hope that Merely Dee brings to light the little-known story of the Eastland Disaster. That tragic event was the greatest loss-of-life-disaster in the history of Chicago and yet, few Chicagoans know or talk about it. I'm hoping that will change!
Cherie: I'm sure your novel will do just that. Now to help lighten the mood, I have a few fun questions for you. Favorite color?Marian: In my office I like calming colors like pale green or a warm yellow. But when I dress, I prefer bolder colors like deep purple, bright red, or hot pink.
Cherie: Do you believe in the supernatural?Marian: I do! And I tell of a possible encounter with the drowned victims of the Eastland in my Author's Notes.
Cherie: If you could be any mythical creature, who would you be and why?Marian: I'd be the winged horse, Pegasus. Strong, powerful and able to soar above the landscape with grace and speed.
Cherie: Any secret crushes? (It can be anyone real or fictional.)Marian: Oh, I really hate to admit this, but I have a mad crush on Edward Cullen from Twilight. I'm not usually a fan of vampires, but I'd make an exception in his case.
Cherie: Do you believe in love at first sight?Marian: I totally do believe in love at first sight, but I didn't fall for my husband that way. He kind of grew on me and now I can't live without him. So maybe love at first sight isn't the best thing after all!
Cherie: You might be right about that. Who are you drawn to the good guy or the bad guy?Marian: When I was younger I always gravitated to the bad guy, but I've learned from my mistakes and now I'll choose the good guy every time.
Cherie: Favorite author?Marian: Shakespeare!
Cherie: Favorite movie or television show?Marian: One of my favorite movies is Shakespeare in Love.
Cherie: Do you have any guilty pleasures that get you through the writing/revising process?Marian: A hot Vanilla Chai from Dunkin Donuts. And if I'm really, really bad, a vanilla-frosted long Cherie: This was a lot of fun. Thanks for joining me today!
