Hey, ladies!
It's
The Broke and The Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday! This week's theme is Top Quotes From Books You've Read This Year (Or So), and I've been looking forward to this one for weeks. My books are constantly dog eared, Post-It'ed, or highlighted with quotes that strike my fancy, and I had trouble narrowing it down to these!
Clearly, I went outside the typical 10, and these are mostly recent reads, with a few old favorites slipped in.
In no real order:
14.

I was head over heels in love with her. No, that didn't describe it.
I was tear my fucking heart out and throw it to her, beg her to take it into hers. I was falling for the greatest heights, with no safety net below.
I was giving everything of my own life for hers, giving up every inch of my soul so she could wear it proudly.
I was a former king on my knees before the queen. A jester begging for a chance.
I was powerless, helpless, and at her mercy.
- The Dex-Files by Karina Halle
One of my all time favorites!
11.

- King of Hearts by L.H. Cosway
10.
Much slower, I turned around to see Vlad examining his fingernails, as if his hands weren't still ablaze in the flames that had blasted the ghoul's head off moments before.
"What the hell was that?" I gasped.
"Premature inflammation," He replied. "Happens sometimes. Very embarrassing; I don't like to talk about it."
- This Side of The Grave by Jeaniene Frost
I don't quite know why, but this bit makes me laugh my ass off every time I read it.

And I hope you can fall in love with everything that I am, all that lurks in my dark, all that shines in my light. I want you to love every little piece of me, because it all belongs to you."
