As I was reading Marked, I came across the perfect passage to include in the review, so I had to log in and start the review, saving the quote. Sometimes that happens when I’m reading, most of the time, actually. I’ll be reading along and something will just hit me, and I’ll be, like… “Wow, that’s the perfect quote for this book!” When that happens, I always try to get it in here, lest I forget it when I’m actually sitting down and writing the review.
I know what quote I’ll use for How to Be a Villian, but I haven’t got a clue for Empire Falls. That happens sometimes, too, and every once in a while I even think about cheating and putting what’s on the back cover or front flap for the quote.
BTW, the House of Night series has been optioned for a movie. No work has really been done on it, just the plan to make it into film. I can see the spoof-movie now, “Not another Teen Vampire Movie!” Though, this book is NOTHING like Twilight.
If you’d like to check out the series, click House of Night Series. There you can click on the yearbook and learn about the characters, watch vid clips for each of the books, and even get your own vampyre Mark tattoo 😀

I do that: start my review just to save a thought or quote. Sometimes I start the review before I even start the reading! not often, though. There really are a ton of vampire books, aren’t there? Happy Reading!
Its nice to pick the quote ahead of time. I hate when I finish a book and I haven’t marked anything to quote and then I can’t find anything I want to quote. Bleh.
Best of luck with your reading!
Maybe I should take up that method so I actually catch-up on my reviews! ha! I doubt that would happen, but I can hope I become that organized at some point!
I need to take a break now as well…
As soon as i have read the quote i want i copy and paste it… so i just write my thoughts quickly and then i am done..
