Book Spotlight + Favourite Quotes: The Animal Under the Fur by E.J. Mellow

Today I have a book spotlight for one of the books that most surprised me last year. While I love the author, The Animal Under the Fur is a genre I don't usually read, but since it was by E.J. Mellow, I had to try it, and I didn't regret it. The writing that truly transports you into another world, characters that make you laugh, cry and swoon, and a plot that will make your heart stop, only to race faster than ever. So when I was planning my New Adult month, this book was one of the first ones that popped into my mind. Now, keep reading for all the info on the book and my favourite quotes from the book!

Teaser Tuesday: Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3) by Kiersten White

Hosted by A Daily Rhythm

 

This is a teaser from a book I just started reading (I started just a few minutes ago, actually), so I haven't gotten very far.

 

"Here's the thing about dragons: I know absolutely nothing whatsoever about them. Which made my task to scare raccoons out of the alley behind the diner much more complicated."

- Page 1, Endlessly, Kiersten White

Title: Endlessly

Author: Kiersten White

Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Publication date: July 24th 2012

Publisher: HarperTeen

Synopsis:

Kiersten White’s New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy comes to a breathless conclusion with a signature mix of wit, romance, paranormal creatures, and a truly original heroine.

In Endlessly, pink-loving, butt-kicking Evie has way too much on her to-do list. Paranormals are begging her to open a faerie gate so they can leave the human world, something Evie’s not sure she has the power to do. The Dark Queen is torturing humans and must be destroyed.

On top of all that, Evie’s prom is coming up. She’s not sure what to wear, and, oh, yeah, her shape-shifting boyfriend, Lend, has been cursed so that he falls into an enchanted sleep whenever he and Evie are in the same room…and even Evie’s ex-boyfriend, the faerie Reth, can’t reverse the dark magic.

An epic battle is looming, and the choices Evie makes will determine the fate of whole paranormal world—and her own life.

Before I share my quotes with you, I wanted to apologize for my absence from Thursday Quotables. I have been so busy lately, I simply didn't find the time to do this. But I'm happy to be back!

Thursday Quotables: City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2) by Cassandra Clare

Hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies

 

Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week.  Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!

 

My choice for Thursday Quotables is City of Ashes, the second book in The Mortal Instruments, by Cassandra Clare. I know I quoted City of Bones only two weeks ago, but there is simply so many fantastic quotes in Cassie's books, so here are some of my favorite quotes from City of Ashes:

 

 

As usual, tons of sarcasm, this time from Jace.

 

 

This is one of my favorite quotes ever. It's so sweet, and I really agree with Clary on this one.

 

 

And this is just hilarious. You only find conversations like this in something written by Cassandra Clare. As usual, her books invite you to cry, laugh, yell and have regular fangirl attacks (just wait until I start re-reading City of Glass. That's what I call an emotional roller-coaster).

 

So, what quotes made you cry or laugh this week? Did you love the quotes as much as I did, or do you have other favorites from City of Ashes, or from Another book? Your comments always make me smile, so comment away!

Thursday Quotables: City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare

Hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies

Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week.  Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!

This week, I picked City of Bones as my Thursday Quotables, because I am currently re-reading it, and I'm falling in love with the characters all over again, so here are some of my favorite quotes (although not all of them, but if I were to put all my favorite quotes from CoB here, this post would never end):

 

I just love Simon's sarcasm!

 



Now to some more sarcasm, this time by lovely Clary.

After all that sarcasm, we need something really meaningful. This quote has me crying everytime. I just want to jump inside the book and hug Jace. Or kiss him. I just don't know how Cassandra Clare can come up with all these perfect quotes. It's part of what makes her series so great. Re-reading TMI will definitely be as good an experience as it was the two first times I read it.

So, what did you think of the quotes? Did you love them as much as I did, or did you have another favorite part in the book? Or did you have another Thursday Quotables? Comment your thoughts!

Teaser Tuesday: Stay With Me by J. Lynn

by MizB @ Should Be Reading

 

Teaser Tuesday is where you share teasers from your current read.

Stay With Me

by J. Lynn

 

My pick for this week is Stay With Me. Usually, I read Young Adult books, but since I love Jennifer L. Armentrout (J. Lynn), I had to give this series a try. And I didn’t regret it! Sure, I had to skip some parts (some very sexy parts, may I add), but apart from that, I’ve loved every second of reading it so far, and I’m really looking forward to Fall With Me.

Here are my teasers:

“He read? Oh my God, guys that read were like unicorns. They only existed in fairy tales.”

Because, seriously. It’s true. It’s sad, but true. At least from my experience.

“Stick with me, babe, and I'll change your life.”

So, what did you think about the teasers? Will you add it to you TBR?

Apollyon (The Covenant #4)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

I've been waiting for so long to read Apollyon, and so far, I'm totally in love with it. Here are some quotes that I just loved:

 

 





 

I added this quote because I just love whenever JLA uses Supernatural references.

 

Next quote just really made me laugh. I had to put the book down for several minutes to calm down before I could continue!

 

 

The last quote I picked is a little Aiden/Alex, because I couldn't resist!
