My Blood Approves

by Amanda Hocking

“Being liked for the way you looked is worse than not being liked at all.”

“I don't know why you're making the poor girl play with you," Peter said. "You're going to completely slaughter her."
"Well, I am the greatest Guitar Hero player of all time," Jack said.”

"I'm sorry for everything I said to you the other night. I didn't mean any of it. I was just trying to protect you," Jack said, his voice thick. "I wasn't even mad, and I can frogive you of anything. I always would. I love you. More than anything else in this world or the next."

            The only thing I could see were his blue eyes. They were the only thing I wanted to see. They never wavered, not even when the chain slid off my wrist and he fell over the cliff.

Double Identity

by Margaret Petterson Haddix

"How do you know so much about trees?" I asked.
"I was a double major in college," Joss says. "Religious studies and biology."

I give her a dubious look and Joss laughs.

"I know," Joss says. "Both of my advisers thought I was absolutely crazy."

Beautiful Creatures

by Cami Garcia and Margaret Syohl

“I never loved you any more than I do, right this second. And I'll never love you any less than I do, right this second.”

“Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead”


“Sixteen Moons, Sixteen Years
Sixteen of your deepest fears
Sixteen times you dreamed my tears
Falling, Falling through the years

Sixteen moons, sixteen years
Sound of thunder in your ears
Sixteen miles before she nears
Sixteen seeks what sixteen fears

Sixteen moons, sixteen years
sixteen times you dreamed my fears
Sixteen will try to Bind the spears
Sixteen screams just one hears

Sixteen moons, sixteen years
The Claiming moon, the hour nears
In these pages Darkness clears
Powers bind what fire sears

Sixteenth moon, Sixteenth year
now has come the day you fear
Claim or be Claimed
Shed blood, Shed tear
Moon or Sun- destroy, revere.”




“Macon Ethan
I lay my head down on his chest and cried because had lived
because he had died
a dry ocean, a desert of emotion
happysad darklight sorrowjoy swept over me, under me
i could hear the sound but i could not understand the words
and then i realized the sound was me, breaking
in one moment i was feeling everything and i was feeling nothing
i was shattered, i was saved, i lost everything, i was given everything else
something in me died, something in me was born, i only knew
the girl was gone
whoever i was now, i would never be her again this is the way
the world ends not with a bang but a whimper
claim yourself claim yourself claim yourself claim
gratitude fury love despair hope hate
first green is gold but nothing green can stay
dont
try
nothing
green
can
stay
