Sparrow Road - by Sheila O'Connor 

"Mama is a singer." I don't know why I said it. Mama hadn't really sung since I was little, not much more than lullabies or hymns. But once she did. I wanted Eleanor to know that Mama was more than just a maid. More than a waitress. More than a summer cook. - pg. 43

Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

"She didn't say anything, but I knew what she was thinking. Reactions to my eye color ranged from furtive glances to out-and-out staring; at least she was being honest about it." - pg. 10

Kiss Me Deadly: 13 Tales of Paranormal Love edited by Trisha Telep

"If you're going to threaten me, I think it's only fair that I know who I'm dealing with. What's your name?" I have a sneaking suspicion that he might be laughing at me. "You first," I counter. He shrugs. "I'm Adam." 

"Moth."

On page 124 of 423... okay so far. A few of the stories I liked, a few I didn't. Reading these short stories is a great way to try new authors without a having to read a full length novel. This passage was from the short story, "The Spirit Jar" by Karen Mahoney, future debut author of Iron Witch.

The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy  by Jeanne Birdsall

"Come back, Skye," said Rosalind. "Hound draws for order."

Skye groaned and reluctantly came back downstairs. She hated leaving important things up to Hound, and besides, he usually drew her last. The Hound Draw for Order was a time-honored ritual with the sisters. Names were written on small pieces of paper, then dropped on the ground along with broken bits of dog biscuit."

And I thought my sister and I were the only ones who let pets settle disputes! This book is outrageously funny!

☃"Even if Dad makes it by four-thirty, I don't think he's going to take you to town in this weather, Carol," Mom said. She moved to the window to check the temperature in the thermometer near the door. "Twelve degrees!" she exclaimed.☃
