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
- Try to make the swoon excerpt 140 characters (or less), if you are going to tweet about it. Use the hashtag #YABOUND when tweeting
This week, my swoon is from Breathe by Sarah Crossan!
"You're alive," I say, allowing my weight to fall back into my toes and our noses to touch. And that's when it happens: he kisses me. I expect him to pull away, to keep the kiss platonic, but he doesn't; his lips stay locked to mine until I feel them part slightly and Quinn breathes into me. I reach my arms up, fold them behind his neck, and press my body into his. Finally he steps back and looks at me again.
"You have green eyes. I never noticed that," he says.
"Yes," I say. "They've always been green."
And he kisses me again.
- ARC, page 257
I loved this book! I can't believe I waited so long to read it. I have the second book, and I'll be reading that on soon!
I think that I would like Quinn.... although, he should've known what colour eyes she had by now!! lol

You definitely would - and it's not his fault! Although it is... sort of ;)
DeleteGreat swoon. Funny he never noticed her eye color before.
ReplyDeleteMine
Right?! But he's a GREAT guy :D
DeleteHe never notice her eyes before? That is a first, but I think I would like him.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!

You must read it! Quinn is yummy ^_^
DeleteHee Hee! Sweet Kiss! I just can't believe he didn't notice her eye color. But I'm one of those people who sees a person's eyes first. That's what hooks me. :)
ReplyDeleteRight?! I look at hair and eye color ;)
DeleteGreat swoon! Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked this one. I haven't been able to decide weather or not to read it after seeing some mixed reviews. But your making me want to read it now, especially after that swoon!
ReplyDeleteI think you should! And yes, the swoon is definitely the decider ;)
DeleteThis book is probably my favorite science-fiction / dystopian ever! I'm reading the sequel now and it's just as good. Bea -- she totally reminds me of Hermione from Harry Potter. Love her! Great quote -- I so swooned at that part.
ReplyDeleteCOOL! That is so awesome. I remember - I think you told me you don't read a lot of dystopias. I can totally see that! And me too - love this scene :D
DeleteUm...that was awesome!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! :D
