http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com/
Here are the rules:
1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a page
3. Pick out 2 lines that are SPOILER FREE
4. Name the title, author, etc.


Okay since there's the holiday I hadn't had a chance to start this one really, so I will share with you the first few lines!

"'What's this supposed to mean?' Nevada Hamilton plucked the playing card off the table between the tips of two fingernails like it had a disease. Buddy Randle, her casino dealer, had the decency to look slightly abashed. 'I don't Collect vampires,' she said. 'The Boss knows that.'" p 1*

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.



This week's topic is: Top Ten Books I'd LOVE to Re-Read if Only I Had the Time!
Might have already done a similar post to this at one time, but I can't find it. So here we go!


*in no particular order


 1. The Forbidden Game (Omnibus) by L.J. Smith--yes it's three books, but you're going to find that I'm using series for some of these picks!
2. Old Magic by Marianne Curley--this was one of my fave fantasies when there wasn't much in Paranormal YA, this is early Paranormal YA (magic, witches, time-traveling, curses, sorcerers!)
3. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling--yup, I would love to re-read all 7 of these babies!


4. Stray by Rachel Vincent--would love to go through this series again! All the emotion pulling Rachel put us through! Eep!
5. Nocturne by Syrie James--despite being in tears, I'd definitely love to re-read this baby!
6. Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes--the one that started it all...I could so do this one in a day! My copy's buried in my closet though. Top shelf, towards the back of the stacks buried at the bottom most likely! I've officially run out of closet shelf space as of the end of RT 2014!


7. Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost--would love to re-read this series! In fact, I think I did re-read this one once, it was just at the cusp of the rise of paranormal reads!
8. Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison--again, another series I'd love to read over again!
9. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder--actually re-read this one too! Again, at the time just before paranormal books broke out! Loved this story! Could read it endlessly if I didn't already have too many books!


10. Bitten by Kelley Armstrong--another incredible series that I'd love to re-read! This series was just so spectacular! It's how I decided I'd like to set my own writing series on, the fact that you get different heroines and repeating heroines in the books!
