The Six Rules of Maybe
by Deb Caletti

Maybe we all just wanted someone to believe in. That's all each of us wanted, and it should be so simple, but it never was simple.



I know that I myself need someone to believe in, so they could also believe in me. Deb Caletti has written valuable words that could pull you in like a laft raft. It's so easy to relate to them.

Something Like Fate
by Susane Colasanti

I'm not sure if our friendship is strong enough to survive into next year when we’re away at college. But. We know each other in a way that no one else can. We share a history that makes us permanently connected. So I have to hope for us. All I can do is hope.



This reminds me so much of this upcoming fall. My friends will all be away from college/university and it's going to be so new for us. But all we can do is hope that we keep in touch because our friendships mean so much. University is so exciting though! It's that time again to make more new friends. :)

While I was away I couldn't update a mister linky...but he's back now! So if you've got a Friday's Finest to share, link it below!

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour

The Summer of Skinny Dipping
by Amanda Howells

They're on a crash course to nowhere. But you, my lady friend, you're a black hole. You've sucked me in, and now there's no escape...




I thought this was a romantic quote. You know me. :) So if you've got another romantic quote, or even any other quote you'd like to share, hit it up with the linky below!

Today I'm leaving to South Carolina to spend some time at the beach. Another week of me gone! But no worries, you won't even know it because of the queued posts. *sigh*. I've still got a lot of catching up to do. Dealing with pre-school stuff is wearing me down and taking up lots of my summery, relaxing time!

Before I Die
by Jenny Downham

I'm me and you're you, and all of them out there are them. And we're all so different and equally unimportant.

Linger
(The Wolves of Mercy Falls #2)
by Maggie Stiefvater

I never knew there were so many different ways to say goodbye.


---


I always love the heartbreaking feel to this series. And to respond to this quote, I'd like to say "it's not a goodbye, just a see you later."

Summer at Willow Lake
by Susan Wiggs

If you're drowning for real, and nobody believes you, then you sure as hell better figure out how to swim.

Delirium
by Lauren Oliver

Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side.

Anna and the French Kiss
by Stephanie Perkins

Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place?


---


An interesting question, isn't it? To me, home is family. It's something I feel in a community of people. During family get togethers, I would often say, "It feels like home!" Because that's the time of unity and it makes me feel happy!

Summer At Willow Lake
by Susan Wiggs

Here's the thing about broken hearts. You can always survive them. Always. No matter how deep the hurt, the capacity to heal and move on is even stronger.

Wither

I'll tell you something about true love. There's no science to it. It's as natural as the sky.

The Secret Year
by Jennifer R. Hubbard

What do you think about when you can't sleep? Sometimes I think about the ocean. I can see it lapping on the shore, waves rolling in one after the other, washing over the sand, never stopping. That's what usually puts me to sleep.



---


I've tried this once and it actually put me to sleep. So does the sound of rain. But when those don't work, I imagine blank whiteness on paper. I've been told to do that once when I had so much struggle sleeping one night that I stayed up until freaking 4 AM and had to get up at 6 AM. It works now though! :D

City of Fallen Angels
by Cassandra Clare

"L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle."
It means that love is the most powerful force in the world. That love can do anything.

Blogger was down last night so this post is a bit late. :( Feel free to post your Friday's Finests down below though.

Delirium
by Lauren Oliver

And now I know why they invented words for love, why they had to: It's the only thing that can come close to describing what I feel in that moment, the baffling mixture of pain and pleasure and fear and joy, all running sharply through me at once.



---


Ahhh I can't get enough of this book! You should see how much quotes I've marked, it feels like a lot. So that means I'll be going back to this book from time to time, just to show my love. :)

Clockwork Angel
by Cassandra Clare

"One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."



---

One of my favourite quotes from this book -- which is of course about books. Tessa is an avid reader and I love how her wisdom shines in this quote.

Before I Die
by Jenny Downham

There's a terrible stillness. I notice a small tear in the wallpaper above her shoulder. I notice finger marks grimed on the light switch. Somewhere down in the house, a door opens and shuts. As Zoey turns to face me, I realize that life is made up of a series of moments, each one a journey to the end.

The Sky Is Everywhere
by Jandy Nelson

I’ve never once thought about the interpretative, the storytelling aspect of life, of my life. I always felt like I was in a story, yes, but not like I was the author of it, or like I had any say in its telling whatsoever. You can tell your story any way you damn well please. It’s your solo.

Flipped
by Wendelin Van Draanen

"Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss...." He turned to me. "But every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare."
