The lovelies over at The Broke and The Bookish have asked a perfect question to wrap up the year!

In no particular order, here are my top ten reads of 2013:

"That's exactly it - I am crazy sad, and somewhere deep inside, all I want is to fly." (72)

“It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people."

“There is no shame in scars, Ismae.” 

“For all that I have kissed before, I have never felt anything like this. It is as if I have swallowed a tiny piece of the sun, its warmth and light reaching into every corner of my soul and chasing away the shadows." 

“I feel like I could eat the world raw.”

“There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.” 

"I have so many good qualities," Sturmhond said. "It can be hard to choose.” 

 "He squinted, and another picture flickered onto the screen, closer up, showing the backs of four of the men from up above, but, Kai noticed with a shock these were not men. Their shoulders were too wide, too hunched. Their barely discernible profiles too stretched. Their backs were covered in what appeared to be fur." 

“A relieved grin filled up Thorne’s face. “We’re having another moment, aren’t we?”“If by a moment, you mean me not wanting to strangle you for the first time since we met, then I guess we are.” 

“They're saying that you and Sean Kendrick were burning up the cliffs." Tommy spins me again and grins at me. "And when I say you and Sean Kendrick, I mean you and Sean Kendrick. And by burning, I mean burning.” 

“Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”
