Catch a Serious Case of Swoon
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Every week they post a new topic/top ten list and invite everyone to share their own answers. I'm so obsessed with lists - so it makes perfect sense that I'd love this feature!
Top Ten Books That Will Make You Swoon
"I love you the way a drowning man loves air.
And it would destroy me to have you just a little."
1. The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
"It was like coming home or being born or suddenly finding
an entire half of herself that had been missing."
2. Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
"I want all of you. I want you inside and out
and catching your breath and aching for me like I ache for you."
3. Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi
"If you weren't driving, I'd kiss you senseless," I tell him.
He swerves to the side of the road and stops the car abruptly.
"Not driving any more."
4. Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
"I can't give you the world, Rachel, but I'll give you all I've got."
5. Crash Into You by Katie McGarry
"As long as we're together, that's how we'll be.
No trembling. No faltering. We're unstoppable."
6. The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead
"I think I realized that I would rather die because
I betrayed them than live because I betrayed you."
7. Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
"And if I'm the stars, Cricket Bell is entire galaxies."
8. Lola & The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
"She wanted to make an honest women of his chin.
She wanted to lock it down."
9. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
"I know at that moment what he's given me and it's not a chair.
It's an invitation, a welcome, the knowledge that I am accepted here.
He hasn't given me a place to sit. He's given me a place to belong."
10. The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay
OMG NUMBER 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hector?! Chaol?! Wolf?! Levi?! All those quotes are making me want to reread RIGHT NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't even talk about Warner right now. It's too fresh.
I have YOU to thank for some of the books on this list! So, you know, thanks sugar :)
DeleteOMG YES YES YES. I love that you provided the quotes to go with the book, too! My favorite of all time HAS to be from Jellicoe Road. Oh goodness gracious, Jonah. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteJONAH. For real. I seriously need to re-read that one!
DeleteAnd yay for the quotes <3 I love when I can tweak a topic to include them haha!
Omg these quotes are great! I haven't read most of these, but these quotes alone make me want to go out and get all of them, pronto!
ReplyDeleteSUCCESS. That's how a good quote can make me feel - which is why I always include something in my review that gives a sample of what you'll find inside. This post was SO fun to compile!
DeleteSo many awesome books! Some of these books - specifically Throne of Glass and Shatter Me series - I need to get reading! You picked some awesomely amazing quotes to go along with each book. You need not say more about each book, the quotes are enough! :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Haha yay! I thought the quotes said it all, too :)
DeleteGreat list!
ReplyDeleteI just love the quotes! <3 Siiiigh.
ReplyDeleteThe Sea of Tranquility was so amazing and so beautiful. Scarlet! Fangirl! Major swoons indeed!
RIGHT?! I was totally swooning just putting together this list!
DeleteChaol and Isaiah!!! Great quotes! I still need to read so many of these other books too!!
ReplyDeleteTHOSE TWO. Loooove them. And yes, read the other books on here!
DeleteOoh I love how you set up your list with quotes! So adorable :) Love it. Unravel Me was definitely a swoon-worthy book! Team Warner!
ReplyDeleteWARNER FOR SURE.
Deletei forget how much I loved Cricket...may need to reread. :) fantastic list.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought, too! I forgot how much I loved him until I was looking back at quotes.
DeleteBeautiful quotes, Hannah! I've read all these books except The Fiery Heart, and I LOVE the moments/lines you've picked up. So beautiful -- and they made me swoon all over again :)
ReplyDeleteThank youuu! Glad I brought a little romance into your day :)
DeleteOh Hannah, that quote from Jellicoe Road... <3 I haven't read it yet, but I think I need to after reading that quote.
ReplyDeleteFangirl was adorable... I *almost* added it to my list as well. I chose Anna instead of Lola, but really that was a toss up for me.
The Sea of Tranquility sounds like a beautifully written book. I can't wait to start it either. Great list!
YAY! That was the goal, girl. I have to get everyone to read that book!
DeleteI want to re-read Fangirl. How did that book make reading aloud seem so sexy? Also, it was totally a toss up for me too! I ended up with Lola just because I, personally, like Cricket more than Etienne.
And yes, you've got to read The Sea of Tranquility! It's FANTASTIC <3
This post gave me the chills. I love what you chose + the quotes are so perfect.
ReplyDeleteYAY LOVE.
HECK YES. I WIN.
Delete7, 8, & 9!! <3 I'm falling over with the swoons as I type! They are the perfect ones to be all grouped together. Have you gotten a chance to read Cress yet? If you think Scarlet was swoon worthy, just you wait!
ReplyDeleteHere's my swoon worthy reads, if you'd like to check them out:)
Haha! Yay for a swoon-induced faint :) And I have read Cress and completely agree! I just didn't take note of awesome quotes while reading so I'll have to do that when I re-read.
DeleteI just teared up over those quotes from Hector and Chaol. No big deal. (Thank you thank you thank you for making me read TGoFaT because HECTOR. <3)
