OMG, you too??!! Lord, you girls all have such romantic stories!!! We should just read these for our YA romance kick for the day! LOL
Mod
I didn't know you were a single mom once, too! My hubs was in the marines for 14 years, I think he still misses it sometimes!
This is great, I'm learning all kinds of new things about my girls! =)

Where in Brooklyn? I lived in Mill Basin for a while, then moved to Brooklyn Heights.
And this group really does have the greatest people!

Mod
What book affected you the most and why?"
I think most recently
really affected me. It made me cry. I know there's another...but I can't remember what it is! UGH! Any book that I can speed through usually affects me a lot.
was a recent read that affected me a lot emotionally...that crushing feeling in your chest that makes you hyperventilate, affecting! LOL
Mod
What book affected you the most and why?"
I have several that really stuck with me well after reading them, but probably
was my top because I just had a sickening feeling throughout the whole book, and the ending was the cliffhanger to shame all others! It's such an unsettling book with a beautiful love story in the middle of it all. Like everyone else,
and
had a big affect on me, too. Sempre was just a phenomenal, moving story, and Insanity just crushes you!

I've been thinking and thinking this one over. I have to say that
got me thinking the what if's of something beyond our control.
got me back to reading YA and
is what cemented me into exploring the YA genre further. Can you see the similarities? I am a sucker for the dystopia genre.

Oh wow, great question and there are so many!!! Some of my all-time faves:
“You’re not dying,” he said.
“How do you know?”
His eyes latched onto mine. “Because I’d never let that happen.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Onyx
“I cannot go back to sleep, Evie. You are the only thing that makes me want to live. If you leave here, if you ascend to Paradise, or even if you are cast into the abyss, or taken there by the Fallen…I will have to follow you, no matter where you go. Even if I have to pursue you into the dark…if you cease to be, then so will I. You are my sin and my redemption.”
― Amy A. Bartol, Inescapable
“He always was someone. Because the core of the sweet gum tree never changes. Like Nick, the deep red wood stays true to its nature. Strong, and steady, and pure.”
― Katherine Allred, The Sweet Gum Tree
And then there are a ton from Seduced in the Dark that I loved, but here are a couple...
“The naïve girl in me had been bitch-slapped into womanhood. I’d been razed by pain, grief, loss and suffering, and honed by lust, rage and an acute awareness of my need to survive.”
“Softly, he inhales and exhales as we kiss. He never stops kissing me; he simply continues to steal my breath, returning it to me only when he’s infused it with his essence. Pure lust lives inside him. Every breath I take should come from his lungs.”
There are just so many, and I love the fact that GR has a quotes section for books so we can 'like' them and read them whenever we feel the need! =)
