Reviews for the Literary Inclined discussion

Do as many as you can. For this one give Book name, Character talking, & who they are talking to.

8/14
1) “You alone can trust me. I will fight any battle for you, crush any adversity. Because you are mine, beautiful girl. I love you so madly that the past before you feels sane...”


2) “That's why I want you there, he said. You're unpredictable, and that can be the difference between success and failure. Most people make decisions in anger, fear, love, or obligation. You make decisions to irritate people.”
- Trent to Rachel in "For A Few Demons More"[Alana]

3) “All change brings bad things and good things to replace the bad and good things that were before. It is natural to look back and say it was better before—but that does not make it true. Different is not worse. It is just different.”


4) “A lot of what we're doing here deals with perception rather than truth. Many would argue that reality depends more on the former than the latter.”


5) "What the hell was that?” I gasped. “Premature inflammation,” he replied. “Happens sometimes. Very embarrassing. I don’t like to talk about it.”
-Cat and Vlad from This Side of the Grave [Alana]

6) “I'm saying that I'm a moody, insecure, narrow-minded, jealous, borderline homicidal bitch, and I want you to promise me that you're okay with that, because it's who I am, and you're what I need.”
-Cat to Bones from Halfway to the Grave [Alana]

7) “It's easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.”


8) “Before we go, I gotta know: If mind-reading abilities are real, there's something else I wondered if fiction got right about vampires-"_"Ask me if I sparkle and I'll kill you where you stand," Bones cut off with the utmost seriousness.”
Bones talking to Timmie (Cat's old neighbor from "Halfway to the Grave") in "This Side of the Grave"[Alana]


9) “The shit's gonna splatter, start buggin, yo..."
-Mencheres to Cat and Bones -Destined for an Early Grave [Alana]


10) “If this was a dick measuring contest, I found myself thinking numbly, then I was Pee Wee and she was John Holmes.”



11) “She’s rogering the plumber every Thursday while you’re at the club. Did you really think your loo needed repairs four times this past month?” The woman let out a shocked gasp even as her husband’s face became mottled. “You told me he was laying pipe, Lucinda!” {Bones] grunted. “Right you are, mate.”
-Bones talking to snobby couple in the elevator -This Side of the Grave[Alana]


12) "Some of you know me. Some of you have seen me fight and some of you are my friends. Have your vote. But know this: if you come to remove me, come in force, because if you try to separate me from him, I will kill every single one of you. My hand won't shake. My aim won't falter. My face will be the last thing you‟ll see before you die.” I jammed the knife into the table and walked out."
-Kate Daniels - Magic Bleeds, Kate talking to the Were Council [Jax]


13) “Would you like to borrow a pair of my panties to wave around at the next {-------_-------] to get the point across?” His eyes flashed. “Got any to spare?


Bonus Quote:) “We now know I can do it, but I feel like hell," I went on. "I'm so cold, my teeth would chatter if they still could. And I'm hungry enough that both of you are starting to looking really, really good." Vlad's lips curled. "Is this the part where I'm supposed to remind you that this is just the leftover power talking and you don't really want to cheat on Bones?" "Not that kind of hungry!" I gasped, eyes bulging that Vlad thought I'd just casually thrown out that I wanted him and Mencheres to double-team me. "I meant hungry like drinking you guys' blood. Not hungry for... you know." Without thought, my gaze flew to the areas in question before skipping away once I realized what I was doing. Then my cheeks actually tingled with mortification as Vlad let out a long, hearty laugh. Mencheres more courteous, pretended to suddenly find something fascinating in the door frame, but I saw his lips twitch. "My dear Reaper," Vlad said, still laughing. "Did you just check out our--" "No!" I interrupted at once, almost lunging toward the staircase. "I'm tired and still dazed from the Remnants and... fuck it, I'm taking a shower. I mean, not a cold shower, because I don't need that"--Oh Jesus, I was only making this worse--"because I am cold already, and I need to get hot. I mean, warmer. Oh, just shut up!”
-Cat talking to Vlad & Mencheres from This Side of The Grave [Alana]

I'm pretty sure I know a majority of them, but I always mix up books within a series (when it comes to quotes)

This is kinda easy i agree but its also a test to see how receptive the group is to doing these before I add more...ya know?

I love these quotes! I'm pretty sure a few of them come from the Night Huntress series (Cat / Bones - juicy).

Shoot I know a few of these, but can't remember precisely where from...

Except:
no. 12 Kate Daniels - Magic Bleeds, Kate talking to the Were Council.
I'll have to go back and jog my memory! ;D

I'm pretty sure I remember #5, either because it was mentioned recently or because I read the book... maybe both :)Cat/Bones again?

# 5 is Cat and Vlad from This Side of the Grave (I think- always mixing up books in the series)

#6 Cat to Bones from Halfway to the Grave

#8 Bones talking to Cat from Halfway to the Grave

#9 is Mencheres to Cat and Bones -Destined for an Early Grave

#2 sure sounds like either someone talking about Kate Daniels or Cat

and #11 has got to be Bones talking to someone

And bonus sounds like Cat talking to maybe Ian or Spade or something

I will say number 2 is not from Kate Daniels or Night Huntress and Alana you're close about the bonus question. And yes most of the quotes come from Night Huntress but not all. I will give hints just ask and tell me which question

Oh, Cat and Bones... Sigh... my finger twitches over the "Buy with one click" button that devious Amazon has installed...

No... I... must... resist...

Is #2 The Dresden Files? I couldn't tell you which book

Nope I'll give a freebie hint about #2...its from The Hollows series

Who wants hints? And I've crossed out the ones you lovlies have answered correctly already. Also the bonus question has 9 parts {8 where you have to name the people talking & the last part where you name who & the book]

Was #8's book wrong? Because I know that's Bones at least.

Yep it's Bones and he is talking to someone but it's not from "Halfway to the Grave" and he's not talking to Cat

So you get part points, Alana!

Winston maybe?

Bonus:

1. Vlad
2. Bones
3. Vlad
4. Mencheres
5. Vlad
6. Mencheres
7. Reaper
8. Vlad

From the same book as above

Congrats on the bonus question good job. Now about #8 you've got it right that Bones is talking to someone and it's a scene in "This Side of the Grave" but the who he's talking to is Timmie (Cat's old neighbor from "Halfway to the Grave")

Ohhhh! I couldn't remember who he was talking to!

Is #2 Trent talking to Rachel? I couldn't even begin to say which book... maybe

Yes Trent is talking to Rachel in #2. The book however is "For a Few Demons More". You're really good at these!!!

Well you are picking some of my favorite books/series!
