This is week 40 of the MFRW 52 week blog challenge. This weeks topic is hard for me since I have memory issues and I can’t remember things word for word. I read so many books it is hard to pick quotes. I am going back to where i began with my favorite paranormal Authors Laurell K Hamilton. here is a few intriguing quotes from her books.
I love Laurell K Hamilton both the Meredith Gentry and Anita Blake series. they were very different but fun.
“I talk to myself everyone once in a while. Give me very good advice. Sometimes I even take it.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, Guilty Pleasures

“Sometimes it’s not the optimist you need, but another pessimist to walk beside you and know, absolutely know, that the sound in the dark is a monster, and it really is as bad as you think.
Did that sound hopeless? It didn’t feel hopeless. It felt reassuring. It felt – real.”
Did that sound hopeless? It didn’t feel hopeless. It felt reassuring. It felt – real.”
“And then there are the rare ones who know love, who understand it. Who freely give of themselves, demanding only a return of that love , that trust.”
I fell in love with Rachel in The Hallows series. I don’t usually read books over but these i could read over and over. I even fell in love with all the bad guys.Trent stilll can make my heart speed up.
― Kim Harrison, Every Which Way But Dead
“But a slow, deeply satisfied smile came over him, and his breath quickened. ‘So softly it starts,’ he whispered. ‘Foolishly clever and with an unsurvivable trust. It just saved your miserable life, that questionable show of thought, my itchy-witch.’ Al’s smile shifted, becoming lighter. ‘And now you will live to possibly regret it.”

“Smile…it makes people wonder what you’re up to.”
“Come on, Rachel!” Jenks shrilled. “You’re a badass, not a bad witch!”
Now for some contemporary romance
― “Kiss my fairy dust, Bitches!”
“Way I figure it, if I’m forced to have a partner, might as well have one with benefits. If you’re annoying me, fucking you will be more satisfying than punching you.” Prophet grinned, then added slyly, “And I could punch you afterwards.”

This one was a tear Jerker.
“I love you. I want to shout it sometimes. I know you worry about our letters and texts getting read–shades of WWII, haunting us still, I guess, and I’m well aware that nothing’s safe on the internet. I worry too. You need to know that when I say it, when I ask you to say it, it’s because my lungs feel full of dark water, and seeing it or writing it lets me breathe.”

I love Kim Harrison! Great post!
Excellent idea you had, selecting quotations from one favorite author.
I couldn’t choose one Author.
Those are all great quotes!
Thank you
Wow, I love so many of these quotes. “Kiss my fairy dust, Bitches!” Jill Shalvis. <3 You chose some great book quotes, Cathy.
I couldn’t choose one. I loved that too.
OMG, the accidental sex quote is hilarious!
Thanks I couldn’t decide there were so many good ones LOL
I love the Anita Blake books, especially the earlier ones and also where Edward is featured. The Merry Gentry ones are also fascinating, and Kim Harrison’s as well. Love the genre! Great round up, Cathy.
I have a series I hope is the next Kim Harris LOL! If I ever get back to writing it. it was one of those publisher gone wrong deals so I am skittish.
“Sometimes it’s not the optimist you need, but another pessimist to walk beside you and know, absolutely know, that the sound in the dark is a monster, and it really is as bad as you think.

I laughed hard at the “accidental sex” one as well. Great selections! Now I want to go read these books to see these quotes in context.
I hope you find a good book or two these are all amazing.
