Swoon Thursday (32)

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 adorable button above and share it on your blog! We want to know :-)

As you may have noticed, we have two new wonderful additions to our YA Bound family, which means you get 4 times the swoon!

Without further ado, here's ours:

RACHEL: I've been re-reading some of my favorite books this past week, looking for the parts that really made my tummy and heart go nuts. I stumbled across SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS by Lauren Barnholdt, who has to be one of my favorite YA authors--if she writes it, I'll read it--and always knows how to make me swoon. And in this one, Noah really brings it.  

First, the Twitter Swoon:

He moves toward me & his mouth is on mine & my heart is racing, but it feels right and perfect and safe--Sometimes It Happens Swoon #YABound

And now, the extended bloggy version:

"Hannah," he says. And it's something about the way he says my name that makes me almost turn around, that makes me almost stop what I know is probably about to happen.
"Why did you come to my house that night?" I ask. "At one in the morning?"
"I wanted to see you," he says, and takes a step toward me. My face heats up and my stomach does a flip, and it's the same thing he's been doing to me all summer, but this time, somehow and in a way I can't explain, it's different.
"Why?" I look up at him, and he hesitates for a second and I'm afraid he's going to take it back, that he's going to stop it, that it's not going to happen.
But then he says, "Hannah," again, and he moves toward me and his mouth is on mine and my heart is racing, but it feels right and perfect and safe.

TARA: Swooning over SPELLCASTER by Cara Lynn Shultz:

Brendan's fingers tangled in my hair, cradling my head as he kissed me softly, sweetly, pulling away from me only to whisper he loved me.--Spellcaster SWOON #YABound
            

KELLY: Swooning over LACRIMOSA:

Twitter swoon:

I thread my hands through his hair as he slides his mouth along my jaw, my neck, my arms, leaving a burning trail crisscrossing my body.--Lacrimosa SWOON #YABound

Extended blog version:

I part my lips and succumb fully to the moment. My body feels as though it will implode as heat fuses my cells from my belly to my head. Our tongues greedily explore each other. I thread my hands through his hair as he slides his mouth along my jaw, my neck, my arms, leaving a burning trail crisscrossing my body.

TRISH: "He leaned down then and kissed me, softly at first, then deeper, searching. I knew I should stop him, push him away, but I didn't have the strength. All I wanted was more of him, more of his warmth, his comfort." --WATERFALL SWOON #YABound


SO NOW IT'S YOUR TURN: In 140 characters . . . or, perhaps a bit more if you need to cheat LOL, SWOON us!
