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 The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski!
"I don't know. I can't - I don't know what you wanted."
"I never said?"
"No."
She lowered her mouth to his. She tasted him: the raw burn of liquor on his tongue. She felt him swallow, heard the low dry sound of it.
He pulled her down to him, tangled his hands in her hair, sucked the breath from her lips. She came uncertain whose breath was whose. He kissed her back, fingertips fanning across her face, then gone, nowhere. Then: a light touch along the curve of her hip, just barely. A stone skipping the surface of the water.

This book... it was everything that I wanted and more. If you haven't started this series, be sure to do so! The final book (this one) publishes in less than two months! Go forth and binge-read!
