Swoon Thursday (#7): Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

Swoon Thursday is a hot meme hosted by the fabulous ladies at YA Bound!

- From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering

This week, my swoon is from Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi!
Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky, #2)

"He smiled and leaned down, kissing her softly, tenderly. She knew she should step away. This was a risk, but she didn't care about anything except him just then. She woved her arms around his neck and parted his lips with hers, stealing a taste of him. Tenderness could wait for another time."

- Page 98

According to Goodreads, I've been "currently reading" this book since January 20th... UGH. That's a month ago, since I started! And I've read so many books in between then and now! I am determined to finish this book, but the problem is, I've reached page 180, and things are, well, not happy.

And I've been swamped with schoolwork. Between colleges, scholarships, projects, essays, and finishing class curriculums to start studying for my lovely eight AP exams, I have had barely any time for anything!

So, this isn't exactly a new swoon on my part, but currently, I'm not reading anything (unless you count this one, which I started ONCE, a month ago, and never picked up again).

So anyway! What made you swoon this week?

  2. Urg I hate those books that you just can't finish .. I have a book too that I've been reading since Feb 9th and I just don't want to continue but I have to! I can't not finish a book (I think I have a bit OCD on that part ;) )
    But, nevertheless I like the swoon AND the cover. :-)

  10. Totally understand the business factor. School and all things related take a lot of energy. Thank you for sharing the swoon with us this week! I haven't read these yet so I'm always looking for a reason I should. Thank you so much for commenting today! Hope things get better and you finish your book.

    P.S. Movie was awesome! My bf even liked it!

    1. OH MY GOSH! Crying is a good way, or bad?! I'm so scared - I've heard CRAZY things about the end. That *may* have been a factor in me not finishing yet lol. Thanks, Debbie!
