Swoon Thursday (49)


The ladies at YA Bound have created a hot and fun new meme called SWOON #YABound. If you want to join in here's what you need to do.

All you need to do is pick up the book you are currently reading or just finished reading. Find what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding and your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering. Then shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag  #YABound, post in the comments, or grab the awesome button from YA Bound (above) share it on your blog!
This week my Swoon is from Spark by Brigid Kemmerer. I really enjoyed this book. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I'm definitely a Gabriel fan!
"The addictive pull of his mouth almost had her crawling into his lap. Her hands bunched in his shirt, pulling him closer. His fingers didn't venture higher, but teased along the edge of her skirt, brushing against her so lightly that she almost couldn't stand it. She'd never thought anyone would touch her this way--she's never wanted anyone to touch her this way. But now that he was being so careful, the building heat in her body made her want to rip all her clothes off...Layne always rolled her eyes in health class when they talked about hormones getting out of control. But right now, she could barely remember her name." SWOON#YABound
I loved this scene!! If you have a Swoon leave a link so I can check it out:)

Teaser Tuesday (29)


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB at Should be Reading. Anyone can join in. Here's what you need to do.
Grab your current read.
Open to a random page.
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
Be careful not to include spoilers! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You don’t want to ruin the book for others.)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I'm getting ready to start Spark by Brigid Kemmerer. I'm not only giving you a tease of the book but myself as well.
Spark (Elemental, #2)
"Gabriel stared, having no idea what to say. And in that moment of silence, she picked up her backpack and rounded the corner, without once looking back."

"No one could be alive in here. He could barely recognize the normal shapes of furniture. Everything was ablaze."

Brigid Kemmerer, Spark (Elemental #2), pgs 35 & 88

Those are my teasers this week. What do you think? If you have a teaser share the link so I can check it out!
