I recently read the Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and utterly loved it. But besides that I found loads of quotes within the book that I found so sweet and meaningful!


1. 

"You know what they say," Dad said. "If you love something, set it free." "What if he doesn't come back?" "Some things do, some things don't," he said, reaching over to tweak her nose. "I'll always come back to you anyway." "You don't light up," Hadley pointed out, but Dad only smiled. "I do when I'm with you."

2.

"But Hadley understood. It wasn't that she was meant to read them all. Maybe someday she would, but for now, it was more the gesture itself. He was giving her the most important thing he could, the only way he knew how. He was a professor, a lover of stories, and he was building her a library in the same way other men might build their daughters houses."

The Probability Of Love At First Sight - Jennifer E. Smith

TAG! I'm It

Okey dokey! First off I want to thank Laura @ Colorimetry for tagging me for this awesome tag :) And at the same time apologize for taking soo long to answer them... my excuse is my laziness. I know not a good one but without further ado lets get to the questions!

THE RULES

1. You must post the rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged.
3. Tag eleven people and link to them on your post.
4. Let them know you’ve tagged them!

1. Do you have an all-time favorite book? Which one?

Oh man! I am one of those people who loves everything I read (well almost everything :D) But if I have to choose, it will have to be Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. I absolutely love that book and reread it every year... sometimes more than once a year :)

2. If you could move into a book, which book would it be? (Your favorite?)

Move in... I will say Harry Potter. I mean who doesn't want to be a witch at Hogwarts? I sure do!

3. Is there a scene burned on your memory? Do share!

Hard one.. there are too many scenes burned into my memory but the one that just came to mind is the scene between Rose and Dimitri in the end of Blood Promise by Richelle Mead ! Uh heart wrenching!

4. Is there an author that you own (almost) all of their books? Who?

No... *looks down in shame* I have more of a variety of books from different authors. But one author that I have more books by then others is Stephen King. I am starting to get more into his books!

5. What question would you ask any author?

Um... where do they get their incredible ideas and how do they manage to come up with such intricate plots? (I know... I am a very boring person)

6. What book did you rate the highest in the past month or two? Why?

Uh oh! 2012 hasn't served as the best reading year for me so far.. at least that's what my Goodreads says, as I am apparently 7 books behind on my 100 books challenge. But out of the 6 books I've read so far I've rated five of them as 5 stars. So I will list them!

-Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare (Why? One word, Will!)

-Epic Fail by Claire Lazebnik (This one was a great read, really enjoyable and fast paced.. also Pride and Prejudice retelling!)

-Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (AMAZING! The action, suspense, romance ahh!)

-Legend by Marie Lu (Ahh! Another epic dystopian. One thing you should know about me is, I am a sucker for anything dystopian!)

-The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith (The sweetest thing ever!)

7. Have you pre-ordered a book for 2012? Which one(s) can't you wait to get?

I am actually banned from purchasing anymore books... as I have a tendency off going over board when it comes to books :D But one that I know I will be standing outside the books store to get this year is Insurgent by Veronica Roth. Eek! So excited.

8. I'm looking for a great read... what book do you recommend? 

The Statistical Probabilty of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith. This one is great for a fun read and its quick!

9. What would you like to see more of in books?

Strong female protagonists. I know this one is becoming more common and I am really glad for it as there is nothing worse for me then a books where the female protagonist has no backbone. 

10. Describe to me what sort of person YOU would be in a book!

That is a great question! Of course I would like to be a kick-ass heroine. I would love some kind of cool ability like time traveling or invisibility. Ohh and I must have awesome moves.. karate? Hehe I am getting ahead of myself XD

My Questions:

1. What is your favourite 2012 read so far?
2. What is your most awaited sequel of 2012?
3. What book can you read over and over again and never get tired off?
4. Favourite book to movie or TV show adaptation? Which one?
5. Do you have a reading ritual? Something you do before/after/while your reading?
6. Top 5 hottest male characters?
7. First book you ever remember reading?

Waiting On Wednesday (15)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Bitterblue

Kristin Cashore

Release Date: May 1, 2012

  

Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck’s reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle—disguised and alone—to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past. Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck’s reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn’t yet identified, holds a key to her heart. 

Summary taken from Goodreads.

I just couldn't hold it off any longer!
It will be an understatement to say that I CAN'T WAIT for this book to come out because I'm dying for it to come out. The first two in the series Graceling and Fire are two of my favourite books of all time. When I was going into them I had no Idea what they were about but once I started reading I just couldn't stop. You guys know what I mean, as I find myself among the last people to have read this series and those who still haven't, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!! Anyways back to Bitterblue! I LOVE the cover and the synopsis sound fantastic! What more can a girl as for?!

So, What Are You Waiting For?

"I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."
