Yes, it was good. Though not as good as Delirium

Okay so I already posted the forts line of my book, ghost map, which is the story of the Cholera outbreak in England. This line, which is not the first made me laugh.

"What are we going to do with all of this sh*t". I thought is was a good line.

I pace in our cell in Erudite headquarters, her words echoing in my mind: My name is Edith Prior, and there is much happy to forget.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." :)

"It is the key to survival, the key to life. My father's old dagger."

"It doesn't start here. You'd think it would: two terrified girls in the middle of nowhere, cowering together, eyes bulging at the gun in his hand."

"It has been sixty-four years since the president and the Consortium identified love as a disease, and forty-three since the scientists perfected a cure."

"The morning after noted child prodigy Colin Singleton graduated from high school and got dumped for the 19th time by a girl named Katherine, he took a bath."

Lol. That's exactly what I was thinking, Heather...

'There is one mirror in my house. It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs. Our faction allows me to stand in front of it on the second day of every third month, the day my mother cuts my hair.'
-currently re-reading Divergent.

I am going to read that for the TBR 2014 challenge

"The first time I saw her, I was dead."

I SMACK into him as if shoved from behind

This is an important part of the book because it is the first encounter of the main characters - Galen and Emma :)

"When did you first meet Miss LaRoux?"
"Three days before the accident."
"And how did that come about?"
"The accident?"
"Meeting Miss LaRoux."
"How could it possibly matter?"
"Major, everything matters."

Eleven years ago

A couple of things made that day stand out more than any other: It was my sixth birthday, and my mother was wielding a knife.

"Keeping secrets isn't my specialty. It never has been, ever since kindergarten when I found out Becky Swanson had a crush on Tommy Barnes, and I managed to circulate that fact to the entire class, including Tommy himself, within our fifteen minute recess---a pretty impressive feat, in retrospect."

Her satellite made one full orbit around the Earth every sixteen hours.

"I'm sitting in the driver's seat with my hands at ten and two just like dad showed me. I've buckled my seat belt but the force of impact still jolts me forward. The belt catches before my head slams into the steering wheel, snapping against bone. I can't breathe and start to panic. Try to scream but no sound comes out. It's too late to turn back now."

When I think of my wife, I always think of her head.

Is it wrong that I find that funny?!

You think it's so easy to change yourself.

It is a little funny, it's an odd opening line

Nothing about this room is real.

Thud...

I thought it was weird too when I started the book! :P

Alyn came to with a start, coughing up clumps of snow. He lay dazed for some moments, watching his breath swirl: a silver plume, crumbling in the icy air.

Carter here, look, no time for long introductions. i need to tell this story quickly or we are all going to die.

They say that just before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes, but that’s not how it happened for me.
( I've actually finish this, but I haven't been able to use my computer these couple of days and I really loved this book! :P)

“PRAYER candles flicker in my bedroom. The Scriptura Sancta lies discarded, pages crumpled, on my bed. Bruises mark my knees from kneeling on the tiles, and the Godstone in my navel throbs. I have been praying—no, begging—that King Alejandro de Vega, my future husband, will be ugly and old and fat.”

"'Home is where your heart can flourish.' My mom used to say that."

"I paced the floor, trying to walk the anxiety out of my body. When the selection was something in the distance - a possibility for my future - it sounded thrilling. But now? Well, I wasn't so sure."

"Rae Voight studied her palette, then dipped her brush into the deep purple paint, only dimly aware of the sound of the bell ringing and everyone else in her art class bolting for the door."

"There are lights at the surface."

"HOLY CRAP. I watched the churning water rush over the driveway and back into the swollen creek bed. I’d never seen anything like it before, and from the look of incredulity on Dad’s face, neither had he."

"There was about in her room." - Fangirl

"7:00 p.m.
I lose everything. Keys, my wallet, money, library books. People don’t even take it seriously anymore."

"Life has always been a struggle for me."

"I'm cold. Actually, I'm freezing."

"What are you going to tell them?"
-'Deception' C.J. Redwine

I would have expected to see this sort of line if, say, Elvis had returned from the dead to give a concert. Or if some eccentric yet ultra-cool billionaire was blessing the lives of deserving teens by handing out free sports cars. But I hadnt expected to see this many people lined up in the dark waiting for the Day-After-Thanksgiving sale at Toys "R" Us.

"Lily,
I woke up and the last piece of my heart disappeared.
I opened my eyes and I felt it go."

That book was so dull. :(

I'm realizing that now, I'm halfway through and nothing interesting has happened. I'm kind of disappointed, how do you even make a ZOMBIE book boring?!

I've read a few boring zombie books lately. :( I really wouldn't recommend Donna of the Dead. It was absolute rubbish.

Yeah, I've seen some bad reviews on that book, I don't think I'll be reading it.

Do have any good zombie book you can recommend? I'm looking for a better one, seeing that this one has me disappointed.

(The first one was actually the one that got me into zombie books.)
(First one is usually free on amazon)
(Second two weren't as good though. :( )
(Not proper zombie, but similar)
I really liked , but when i went to buy the other two, they weren't available. Ended on a huge cliffhanger too. :(

Undead and Dark Inside, seem really good, I've them on my to-read list :)
