Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 1. Dirty Tricks by Xandra James

'His hands gripped the door frame and his large physique filled the doorway. He was livid. Two splotches of red sat high on his cheeks and his t-shirt clung to his chest. Cat's eyes lingered a moment too long on that chest before she remembered her manners and made herself look up into his face.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 2. Endless by Amanda Gray

'Was it really just her visions that set her apart? Made her feel different? Wasn't it true, if she was honest with herself, that it was more than that? That she'd always felt out of place? Not quite present in her own skin?'

I was slightly surprised you went lower than last year.

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 3. Selling Scarlett (Love Inc., #1) by Ella James

'As she puts the earrings on me, I feel a sense of total peace. And okay, it evaporates as soon as they leave the room and a little speaker on the bed tells me I'd be live in two minutes. But before that moment, I feel valued and loved. Here in a brothel.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 6. Relentless (Shattered Hearts, #1) by Cassia Leo

'These jagged lies I've told myself for the past year have rested comfortably beneath the delicate skin of truth. I can't allow them to pierce through to the surface. I can't allow myself to become a bloody mess again.'

message 14: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 8. The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins

'What must it be like, I wonder,to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by? What do they do all day, these people in the Capitol, besides decorating their bodies and waiting around for a new shipment of tributes to roll in and die for their entertainment?

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 9. Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins

'The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the Mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 10. Bring Me Home (Shattered Hearts, #3) by Cassia Leo

'I've endured the stench and agony of my mother's death. I've battled the loneliness of not having a home. I've survived willingly having over a piece of my soul to two complete strangers after losing the love of my life. I will survive this.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 11. Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins

'It's as if in an instant, a painted window shatters, revealing the ugly world behind it. Laughter changes to screams, blood stains pastel stones, real smoke darkens the special effect stuff made for television.

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 12. Shredded (Extreme Risk, #1) by Tracy Wolff

'At first she was nothing more than a distraction. Then she was a challenge. Now... now she's still a challenge, but she's something else, too. Something more. The thought has me shifting uncomfortably in my chair. I never do more. I never even want more.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 14. Fearsome (Fearsome, #1) by S.A. Wolfe

'Being with Carson, I don't sense that I'm on the verge of something disagreeable taking over. He's black and white, easy to read. He's either pissed or pleasant. I may not know why, but I can always read his emotions. By comparison, Dylan is made of many hues in between that I can't interpret.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 15. Thoughtless (Thoughtless, #1) by S.C. Stephens

'I threw my arms around his neck and, for just a moment, let myself believe that it was months ago, and we were just two friends giving one another a moments comfort. But...we weren't. Our friendship had inflamed into passion, and, once ignited, that burn was impossible to turn back down.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 17. Goddess (Starcrossed, #3) by Josephine Angelini

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 18. Unwed and Unrepentant (Armstrong Sisters, #5) by Marguerite Kaye

'She could not have said what drew her attention, only that it was drawn, almost as if she were compelled to look at him. He was dressed somberly, in a black coat and trousers, black shoes. His hair was cut short. Deep auburn, it was burnished by the silver-yellow rays of the setting sun filtered through the darkening clouds, giving him the look of a fallen angel.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 20. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 23. Undeniable (Undeniable, #1) by Madeline Sheehan

'I stared into his icy blue eyes, entranced by the safety and comfort blanketing me, warming me. I couldn't look away. I wanted to tuck this feeling in my back pocket, take it home with me, and keep it safe under my pillow to have when I needed it most.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 25. Black Box by Cassia Leo

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 27. The Kingmaker's Daughter (The Cousins' War #4) by Philippa Gregory

'I follow her up the long aisle of the cathedral, the dazzling stained-glass window making a carpet of colour beneath my feet,as if I were walking over the sun in splendour. It strikes me it is the second time that my mother has presented me to a Queen of England. The first time I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever known. This time:the most ferocious.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 30. Song of the Fireflies by J.A. Redmerski


'It was daylight when we arrived back at my apartment. Everything was different. The way the early morning sun hung over the tress and how it always made the wind chimes hanging outside my neighbor's front door glisten and sparkle. The sunrise seemed darker, the reflected light on the shiny metal trinkets, lifeless.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 32. The White Princess (The Cousins' War #5) by Philippa Gregory

'I may live in the royal palace, and sleep in one of the best rooms, I may be served with courtesy though without the bended knee that people must show to the royal family. But I live here quietly, without a court, without the usual crowd of flatters, friends and petitioners, without sight of the king:a princess without a crown, a betrothed without a bridegroom, a bride with no date for her wedding.'

Rebecca (hobbitual_reader) 40. Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
