Teaser & Top Ten Tuesdays

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


It's time for some MAJOR rule-breaking!!!

"But I'll have no worries you'll come back to me.'

His smile was meltingly handsome. 'Because I love you without measure?'

'Of course.'

Also, I had the car keys." p 4*

"'Damn it, Ethan. How do you come up with things like that?'

"I keep a notebook. I intend to make you mine, Sentinel. Not just for tonight, or for tomorrow, or for the decade. For eternity. And I'll have my ring on your finger. I'll have the world know that you're mine. I suggest you get used to the idea.'" p33*

"'The vampire burned up?' Dylan asked, his eyes lit with humor. 'You mean, he doesn't sparkle in the sunlight?'

I shook my head and rolled my eyes with affection. I had no idea why he was under the impression that the UnDead glittered in the sunlight, but he was always making jests like that." Kindle loc. 98%*

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 Blogging Confessions

*in no particular order

1. If at all possible, I coordinate my bookmarks to match my books! Sometimes colorwise and then there's just the randomness...like I used my Maleficent Pop bookmark when I read the movie adaptation of Maleficent! 

2. I haven't been to the library and actually used their services for reading pleasure in forever!

3. When I go to the bookstore and am about to buy a book, I examine the book from cover to cover, spine all around...the whole nine yards to make sure it's perfect!

4. I have actually returned a book once because I was so displeased with it. Only the once though, now I just give them away!

5. I sometimes--only sometimes--will buy double copies of a book. Especially if it had a cover change and I want my books to match (if I'm feeling CDO enough!)

6. I am very particular as to how I organize my books; alphabetical by last name and then when there's multiple series, it goes in order of which series came first.

7. I will always read the book before I see the movie! Even if it ends up being a a book I never heard of but want to see the movie. Kind of turned out that way with Warm Bodies, come to think of it!

8. I go absolutely crazy over bookish jewelry! Especially if it ends up being a piece that was IN the book! Hebel Design is one of my fave shops! I tend to buy a lot of jewelry and wear it when I meet the author!

9. I cry a bit every time I see an author not come to my city. Or even not close enough for a roadtrip!

10. If I start getting books signed in a particular series, my CDO side demands that I get the series signed completely at the soonest opportunity!
