Swoon Thursday ~ 1/17/13

The fabulous girls over at YA Bound created this super HOT meme.  Here's how it works.

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.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog! I want to know & so do the chicks at YABound!

Started listening to a new book this week.  Have a LOT of audio books that I haven't got to.  This is one of them.  My swoon comes from it.

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Add to Goodreads

 "I can't help it.  You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.  You can't hold it against me for saying it the only time I'm allowed to."  He reached up and cupped my face, and I looked deep into his eyes.

That was all it took.  His lips were on mine, and I couldn't think about anything anymore.  There was no Selection, no miserable family, no Illea itself.  There were only Aspen's hands on my back pulling me closer, Aspen's breath on my cheeks.  (Page 13-14)

Pretty worried about this book already.  Not that I don't like it but I'm seeing some serious...boy issues.

What about you?  Have a swoon for me?  Leave me a comment.

  1. Great Swoon! I just read The Selection, I liked it and I agree there are some boy issues. Though I won't say much so I don't give anything away!

    My Swoon!

  3. I can't decide on this series. To read it or not to read it- that is the question.

  4. Great swoon. I hope that you enjoy the book. I have stayed away from it because I don't think it's a book that I would enjoy. It seems like one that would annoy me and make me want to throw things. Lol!!

  10. Ooo, I just read this book a couple of weeks ago!!! One of the last of the old yeaar. It's a good one! I waited so long because fo all the hype - I wanted to steer clear of it until it died down. Except now, everyone's all excited for The Elite. But that everyone would include me. ANYWAY> Great choice of swoon!!! :D

  17. Since I've seen so many different reviews for this book, it has me a little worried as well. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that it will surprise me in a good way though! I love the book cover and it's on my TBR list so I'm going to read it soon, can't wait to see what your thoughts are on this one.
