“Got it," I say as he hands me a pencil skirt, a crisp long-sleeved white shirt, and some low black heels. "This is what I'm wearing?" I'm a librarian. "Can I safely assume the accessories will include glasses on a chain and my hair in a bun? Should I shush people tonight?”

“How did you get so scratched up then, Emlynn?” He looked at me uncertainly again.I felt wildly like laughing. Too many swooping highs and plummeting lows. What a weird fewdays. Weird being a massive understatement.“Cr-Crawling through gorse bushes.” I took a perverse delight in answering his questions in a way that told him nothing at all. I’d never paid much attention to boys before. Maybe Grace was onto something after all.“Crawling through gorse,” he repeated. “Part of your action-girl antics, no doubt?”“N-no doubt.” I smirked again.” ― J.A. Ironside, I Belong to the Earth
“This is why you never let a man have access to your heart because they will eventually rip it out.” ― J.A. Low, Paradise
“We spend just as much time—more even—studying dragons, learning their habits, cataloging what they eat, mapping where they go. See, the Earth is changing around us at a crazy pace. Forests are disappearing, ice caps are melting, the climate is shifting. There are people working to protect other species—the polar bears and wolves, turtles, gorillas. But who’s looking out for dragons?” Dominick’s voice was low and urgent. “We are the only people in the world who know about them. If we’re going to do a good job protecting them, we sure as heck better understand them.” ― J.A. Blackburn, Dragon Defender
“Turn the Lights Down Low,” with Timmy Trumpet and R3HAB.” ― J.A. Owenby, Sinful Obsession
“I see the way you look at her. Like you’re the luckiest man in the world to have her in your life,” ― J.A. Low, Off Limits
“No one escapes,” Kerri said gravely. “I’ve seen every kind of person in places high and low, and I’ve come to that conclusion. Everyone at some time goes through some long nightmare.” ― J.A. Schneider, Fear Dreams
“She thought she’d hit rock bottom when she’d passed out in a disgusting gas station toilet, a needle stuck in her arm, lying in a puddle of someone else’s urine for hours until the owner discovered her and called the police. But this—an arm’s length from a crazy man who wanted to snack on her—this was the all time low.” ― J.A. Konrath, Trapped
“if you were single, the things I would do to you…” ― J.A. Low, Paradise
“East of home, the long ridge lies across the skyline like the low hull of a submarine. Above it, the eastern sky is bright with reflections of distant water, and there is a feeling of sails beyond land. Hill trees mass together in a dark-spired forest, but when i move towards them they slowly fan apart, the sky descends between, and they are solitary oaks and elms, each with its own wide territory of winter shadow. The calmness, the solitude of horizons lures me towards them, through them, and on to others. They layer the memory like strata.” ― J.A. Baker, The Peregrine
“It’s one big mess.” “Yeah, but it’s their mess.” Maybe he’s right. Again. Damn him and his logic.” ― J.A. Low, Paradise
