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: Gabriel from If You Leave by Courtney Cole *Note: the dishonor thing is huge because he is a military man. Gets me every. single. time.

"It's like I'm not whole when I'm not with you," I tell her simply. "You're a piece of me. A big piece of me. And when you're gone, I can't function right. I'm only half a person. I'm so sorry. I know I f**ked up. I acted with dishonor. I left you. But I did what I had to do to try to keep you safe. Do you understand? Do you see?" - Gabe

Shelley is Swooning Over: Gabriel from If You Leave by Courtney Cole.

"Maddy, you have the same power over me. It's called loving someone. And yeah, it's scary as hell. I hate knowing that loving you makes me weak...but it makes me strong too. Loving you makes me happy in a way that nothing else ever has, and that's healthy Madison. That's healthier than anything else in the world."
