The dice had already been tossed, the cards shuffled and drawn. He was what he was, whether he knew it yet or not. Maybe he was just a guy with a crazy dad, like other kids with crazy dads.

Or maybe he was something else.

And then the others closed in, screaming, ripping. And the last thing I remembered, before the bloody red haze finally melted into blackness, was a flash of something bright and the rabid's body dropping onto my chest while its head continued to bite my arm.
Then there was nothing.


Happy Valentines Day!

The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges


It was nothing more than a meat market for Russian nobility, where princes from all across Europe sent their daughters, intending them to marry well.

So there I sat, Katerina Alexandra Maria von Holstein-Gottorp, Duchess of Oldenburg, Great-great-granddaughter of Empress Josephine on my mother's side, great-great-great-grandaughter of Katerina the Great on my father's side. Princess of royal blood. Royal meat for sale. I would rather have been dead.

The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

I saw where the doctor had scribbled down my time of death (8:22 p.m.), followed by three words I'll never forget.
Acute congestive cardiomyopathy. Otherwise known as heart failure.
I didn't know it at the time, but that doctor was wrong. My heart didn't fail. Someone failed my heart.

Black Heart by Holly Black
But now I wonder - what if everyone is pretty much the same and it's just a thousand small choices that add up to the person you are? No good or evil, no black and white, no inner demons or angels whispering the right answers in our ears like it's some cosmic SAT test. Just us, hour by hour minute by minute, day by day, making the best choices we can.

            ... These are the questions I dread, but I thought I could answer them. I thought I could give her up.

She flinched at the cold, then again as the needle poked into her elbow. The bruise would last for days. Then she remembered that tomorrow she would be dead.

"I love you," he murmured, briefly breaking the kiss. "I've always loved you."

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray

This book has had me LOLing all morning. This is a clip of some of the girls after they ate berries and started hallucinating. 


"What's happening? I don't understand - Tiara was fine after she ate that fruit. You didn't see or hear anything strange, right?" Tiara's fingers tried to grab hold of an invisible ladder. "No. Well, the trees were singing funny camp songs to me and I think I saw a big rabbit surfing through the air. But that was all."

Loved this scene... it's a little more than 2 sentences.

Then it hit me. It wasn't his face I recognized, it was his outfit! This kid was totally '80s. Totally fighter pilot. Totally Tom Cruise circa Top Gun, otherwise known as the BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. I laughed a little under my breath, feeling silly. A song popped into my head and I couldn't help singing along silently.
Hiiighway...too the...danger zone.

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver


 I couldn't tease you with just two sentences...that would be rude. 
I'm so offended I can't speak for a moment. Raven called my runs "little," as though they're some kind of game. But I've left bits of myself out there - skin, blood, sweat, and vomit - bits of Lena Haloway, flaking off in pieces, scattered in the dark.

BONUS - I (Stacey) attended the make-up signing that Lauren did for Delirium (she came to Chicago during our crazy snow storm earlier this year) and she read the opening of Pandemonium for us!  Hope you enjoy!!!!
