SWOON THURSDAY (5)

It's Swoon time again! And we do that alot! Here is how to play from YA Bound: 

It's that time again! We created a HOT meme, and if you're new to the game, here's how to join in the fun:

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the steamy button above and share it on your blog. We want to know!

We're back at it again, swooning over our favorite book boyfriends and the moments that flat out made us giddy when we read them. So sit back, enjoy, and then play along by leaving YOUR favorite swoon worthy moments this week in the comments!

Courtney is Swooning Over: Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

"Let me inform you of something," I say, lowering my voice. "The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you're never felt anything when someone's kissed you, then no one's ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you." 

Not necessarily a swoon, but one of my favorite parts...the journal entries to Les made my heart hurt a lot for Holder. He was the most honest during these. Twin love is a crazy, beautiful thing, and this was a side that we missed out on in Hopeless.

"....I've been so mad at you, Les, for so many things. But the thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that you never once thought about what it would do to me when I found you. You knew I would be the one to find you and the fact that you knew that and you still killed yourself? I hated that you did it anyway, knowing you wouldn't be the only one who died. I was so mad because you let me die, too. Sky's right. I've got to let go of the blame. But until Sky knows the truth, I don't think I'll be able to forgive myself. I'm not even ready to forgive you.  H"   

Shelley is also Swooning Over: Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover.

"For the next few minutes, we're completely lost in what feels like sheer perfection. Time has completely stopped, and all I'm thinking about while we kiss is how this is what saves people. Moments like these with people like her are what make all the suffering worth it. It's moments like these that keep people looking forward and I can't believe I've let them slip by for an entire month. 

I know I told her that she's never really been kissed before, but until this moment I had no idea that I had never really been kissed before. Not like this. Every kiss, every moment, every moan, every touch of her hand against my skin. She's my saving grace. my Hope. 

And I'm never walking away from her again."


Courtney and I both agree that there are many, many swoonworthy moments in Losing Hope--almost too many to choose from. It's a definite must read this summer!
