Challange review / Wasn't Meant to Be--Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick


Yeah so I’m feeling a little bad (even though I shouldn’t) that I haven’t read one of my challenge books, and this month it’s going down the same way. Only I can’t write it off as something else like the last two that were meant to be done.
So, I thought, this is a good way to put up the books that are on the list with an apologies and hopefully I’ll get myself around to actually reading one next month

By the way, this one was always hard for me to pick up because I’m a little scared about what it really is. and because of that, well, it’s hard to pick up.

The first couple of lines for you
“Where are you?” Aunt Hannah demanded as soon as Alex thumbed TALK. “What do you think you’re doing?”
     “I just crossed into Michigan,” Alex said, choosing the easiest question first. When she’d spotted the WELCOME TO MICHIGAN sign—GREAT LAKES! GREAT TIMES!—she felt a sense of things opening up, expanding, as if she’d been travelling in a perpetual night on a lonely road hemmed be thick, black forest and was only now getting her first glimpse of the sun. “I had to get gas.” Which was really neither here nor there.

Stuck in Your Head # 9


I'm going to give you the line from the books I've read that make my mind crave the rest like coke.


“In order to determine whether the previous kiss was....memorable?
 “Yes.”
“I suppose it won’t matter on the morrow anyway,” he murmured, his eyes still on her. “And at least it will stop you from talking, Miss Woodmore.”
