It’s SWOON Thursday, hosted by the awesome authors over at YA bound. Here’s how it works:
From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog. We want to know!
This week, I’m SWOONING over:
A Shade of Blood (A Shade of Vampire #2) by Bella Forrest
Yet holding her in my arms, with my lips still tingling from the kiss I claimed – perhaps even demanded – from her, I was aware of every curve of her slim, fragile body flush against mine. My fingers were entangled with her long, soft auburn locks and her sweet scent invaded my senses. No other woman had ever made me feel the way Sofia Claremont did, and at that very moment, I couldn’t bear the thought of her leaving me.
And this is just the first page! Man, I ❤ Derek! He’s definitely reaching my top ten Book Boyfriends of the year.
Also, I want to announce that today is my third year blogoversary!!! YAY!!! I’m holding two giveaways with three books from my favorite authors of 2012 (Paperbacks: US; E-copies: INT). So be sure to check them out! Click here!
SO NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! On your blog and/or on Twitter, tell us what’s got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.
Be sure to attach your link to YA Bound and shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound.
Happy blogoversary Kelsey!! I’ve definitely been wanting to start Bella’s series, but just haven’t had time. Derek does sound super swoony!!
