Love Notes is a new meme here on the blog that features sweet, cute, and sexy quotes from YA books.

"He caught my arm before I could get down. His hand rested warmly against my skin, not passing through or sinking in. He pulled me toward him, his pale blue eyes bright with emotion, and I let him. His mouth, so warm and soft, brushed over mine, once, twice...and lingered. I snuggled closer to his heat, bracing my free hand against the pillow. He let go of my wrist to thread his fingers through my hair and tilt my head. Suddenly, I was being kissed, really kissed, and I leaned into him, tasting him as he tasted me."

"Brendan kept playing with my hair, and finally said, "I'd like to know what you're doing tomorrow," "Oh, I'm busy," I said flippantly, trying to calm my own nerves with stupid jokes. Brendan just gave me a squeeze around my waist and raised on dark eyebrow. "I mean, I'm busy...with you," I said softly, feeling a little shy all of a sudden. "See, Emma," Brendan whispered, "I told you I could be a good boy." He ran his hand through my hair, drawing me in more tightly as he lowered his face."

"You wanna dance?" he asked flatly. "Are you asking me to dance with you?" "Yeah." Finn shrugged. "Yeah?"I shrugged sarcastically. "You really know how to sweet-talk a girl." His mouth crept up in a hint of a smile, and that officially won me over. I hated myself for it."



"Caleb was kind enough to distract me with his fingers. I sat in the backseat with my legs on his lap. He massaged my calves, enthralled by the texture and earthly material from which they were made. "You've got the softest skin, " He said with visible awe. "That's gonna be a serious problem." "It already is, " I replied, in light of the shiver that attacked my remaining limbs."

Review: The Ghost and the Goth (The Ghost and the Goth, #1) by Stacey Kade

Alona Dare–Senior in high school, co-captain of the cheerleading squad, Homecoming Queen three years in a row, voted most likely to marry a movie star… and newly dead.

I’m the girl you hated in high school. Is it my fault I was born with it all-good looks, silky blond hair, a hot bod, and a keen sense of what everyone else should not be wearing? But my life isn’t perfect, especially since I died. Run over by a bus of band geeks—is there anything more humiliating? As it turns out, yes—watching your boyfriend and friends move on with life, only days after your funeral. And you wouldn’t believe what they’re saying about me now that they think I can’t hear them. To top it off, I’m starting to disappear, flickering in and out of existence. I don’t know where I go when I’m gone, but it’s not good. Where is that freaking white light already?

Will Killian–Senior in high school, outcast, dubbed “Will Kill” by the popular crowd for the unearthly aura around him, voted most likely to rob a bank…and a ghost-talker.

I can see, hear, and touch the dead. Unfortunately, they can also see, hear and touch me. Yeah, because surviving high school isn’t hard enough already. I’ve done my best to hide my “gift.” After all, my dad, who shared my ability, killed himself because of it when I was fifteen. But lately, pretending to be normal has gotten a lot harder. A new ghost—an anonymous, seething cloud of negative energy with the capacity to throw me around—is pursuing me with a vengeance. My mom, who knows nothing about what I can do, is worrying about the increase in odd incidents, my shrink is tossing around terms like “temporary confinement for psychiatric evaluation,” and my principal, who thinks I’m a disruption and a faker, is searching for every way possible to get rid of me. How many weeks until graduation?

I have been wanting to read The Ghost and the Goth for FOREVER! I loved the concept and the cover so one day I just bit the bullet and bought it! I thought it was so cute and a wonderful start to what I think will be a great series. I will admit that at the beginning I really didn't like Alona, but I think I wasn't supposed to like her so that I could see her growth throughout the book. She was so sarcastic about her death and sarcastic and prissy, period. It made for a great unique personality as the story went on. Will was so fun. I felt so sorry for him, hearing all the ghosts and being trapped because people thought he was crazy. He was a sweet person and a great match for Alona. He was serene and kinda quiet even with his thoughts, which contrasted awesomely with Alona. She had a lot to say. Their relationship grew at a perfect pace and it was so cute reading each of them battle with their feelings. The romance and plot of the book are equal and don't crowd each other out making for a dynamic read.
