Guess The Quote ~ A Sans-Google Game
Mod
I know the first one which is beautiful & it is from 'Clockwork Prince'. It is so romantic and heartfelt that i loved it!! but then perhaps i am just a big romantic, soppy perso..."
YAY!!! Ok, the first quote is definitely from Clockwork Prince! Maybe that one was a little obvious, since I - and the rest of the female fandom - have designs on Will Herondale, but I couldn't resist! And the second...well! You'll just have to wait and see!
Ok, ok...I'll give some clues!
1.) Both ______s are female
2.) The person who is going to be giving the speaker a hand packing up is the main protagonist
3.) It is from the second book in the series
4.) The series is written by an Australian author
Good luck:D
Mod
Gees!!:D Ok, ok...MORE clues?!
"She'll be fine now," _____ said. "Why don't you boys go ahead? _____ can give me a hand packing up. That's code for girl talk , in case you missed it."
The previous clues:
1.) Both ______s are female
2.) The person who is going to be giving the speaker a hand packing up is the main protagonist
3.) It is from the second book in the series
4.) The series is written by an Australian author
The new clues:
1.) One character is partially named after a flower
2.) The series is set in a futuristic Australia
3.) The title of this book as something to do with the sun being at a certain position
Mod

#1: “You're the queen, and it's the queen's house, and whatever ______ may accomplish, he's highly unlikely ever to be queen.”
#2: “He wipes his hand on his shirt.
What? Did I drool on you?"
A little."

That's low.”
#3: “I feel like Cinderella sitting in the middle of the road with a pumpkin and a couple of mice, while Prince Charming charges off to rescue some other chick.”
#4: “So if you can heal with your touch, why are you working here as like, Hagrid, or whatever?”
quote no. 4 is from Demonglass (Hex Hall, #2) am i right or am i right..??
Mod

Yes!!! I love you!!! Now there are three left!

#2: “He wipes his hand on his shirt.
What? Did I drool on you?"
A little."
You're a wolf. You should be used to drool."
That's low.”
#3: “I feel like Cinderella sitting in the middle of the road with a pumpkin and a couple of mice, while Prince Charming charges off to rescue some other chick.”

Mod
YES!!! Bingo!
Two left:
#1: “You're the queen, and it's the queen's house, and whatever ______ may accomplish, he's highly unlikely ever to be queen.”

Mod
Great! Now I have to think of more quotes....
Are we allowed to post quotes?
Yay! Thx!Quote #1
A pair of dark eyes that hid more than they revealed and some broad shoulders and a mouth that could be cold and thin and then suddenly widen into a generous grin when you thought it was impossible.
Quote #2
“I’ve been waiting . . . for you. Next time—” He opens his eyes and stares at me.
I shake my head, can’t stop denying what he’s saying. “Rest now. You’l be fine.”
His eyes drop closed. “You need to let me go.”
I kiss his forehead and whisper, “I can’t.” I’m not ready. I’m so not ready."
Quote #3
Because I was right. For the two of us, home isn’t a place. It’s a person.
And we’re finally home.
Quote #4
This is our start. This is the moment it becomes real. We are _________. We are infinite. Me and __________. The first boy I ever slow danced with, ever cried over. Ever loved.
Quote #5
“I’ve heard this story,” he smiles.
“Oh yeah?” I ask, losing myself in his dark eyes that are now shining with elation. “How does it end?”
“It doesn’t end,” he says, pul ing me close. “It begins, like this.”
As his mouth comes down to mine, my heart lifts free of its burden and soars. I’m back where I belong.
Good Luck Guessing!;)

“I never kid about my warrior demigod status."
"Oh. My. God." I lower my voice, having forgotten to whisper. "You are nothing but a bird with an attitude. Okay, so you have a few muscles, I’ll grant you that. But you know, a bird is nothing but a barely evolved lizard. That’s what you are.”
#2: “What? Don't British women know how to use their knees?”
#3: “Curiosity killed the cat,”_____ remarked, his dark eyes unreadable.
____ rolled her eyes. Why did everyone say that to her? “People always forget the rest of the saying,” she complained. “‘And satisfaction brought it back.”
#4:
“Kill her for me," she said in that whiny little-girl voice.
____ took a step toward me, wearing an expression that told me he was only too happy to oblige his lady love.
"Oh, what?" I said. I wasn't even scared. I didn't care anymore. The numbness in my heart had pretty much taken over my whole body. "You always do what she tells you? You know, we have a word for that now. It's called being whipped.”
