“So many things become beautiful when you really look."

And,

“Sometimes I'm afraid to go to sleep because of what I'm leaving behind.”

"Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.
But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”

I can report that Before I Fall has been the reason I'm going to bed late every night. Well actually I go to bed earlier than usual, reading is my way to unwind before bed, and staying up later to read more! Nearly done, hoping to finish tomorrow night so I can go into Friday well rested.

“I used to think that's what love was: knowing someone so well he was like a part of you.”]]> deadtossedwaves Epic Reads Book Club Wed, 22 May 2013 20:12:43 -0400 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3249#msg-3249 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3249#msg-3249
I just came across this one:
"It amazes me how easy it is for things to change, how easy it is to start off down the same road you always take and wind up somewhere new. Just one false step, one pause, one detour, and you end up with new friends or a bad reputation or a boyfriend or a breakup. It's never occurred to me before; I've never been able to see it. And it makes me feel, weirdly, like maybe all of these different possibilities exist at the same time, like each moment we live has a thousand other moments layered underneath it that look different."]]> MichelleMorris Epic Reads Book Club Wed, 22 May 2013 14:54:44 -0400 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3248#msg-3248 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3248#msg-3248 I thought I would live forever too."]]> jenbook4 Epic Reads Book Club Wed, 22 May 2013 14:23:36 -0400 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3242#msg-3242 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,3225,3242#msg-3242
"I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took." (Kent) Can't help but love him and that is what makes the story all the more sad and moving.

Great book. Glad to have shared it with you all!

I mean,
"The thing is, you don't get to know. It's not like you wake up with a bad feeling in your stomach. You don't see shadows where there shouldn't any. You don't remember to tell your parents that you love them or - in my case - remember to say good-bye to them at all."

> Hey please give the brief summary about the book
> FALL FROM GRACE.. (:P)


Grace always has a plan. There's her plan to get famous, her plan to get rich, and-above all-her plan to have fun.

Sawyer has plenty of plans, too. Plans made for him by his mother, his father, his girlfriend. Maybe they aren't his plans, but they are plans.

When Sawyer meets Grace, he wonders if he should come up with a few plans himself. Plans about what he actually wants to be, plans to speak his own mind for a change, plans to maybe help Grace with a little art theft.

Wait a minute-plans to what?

From Charles Benoit, acclaimed author of you, comes a witty and unsettling tale of two high school seniors planning the job of a lifetime.]]> EpicGirl Epic Reads Book Club Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:01:50 -0400 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,877,2362#msg-2362 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,877,2362#msg-2362 jacksonbird03 Epic Reads Book Club Fri, 22 Mar 2013 05:35:33 -0400 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,2089#msg-2089 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,2089#msg-2089 bibliofreak50 Epic Reads Book Club Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:34:48 -0500 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,2017#msg-2017 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,2017#msg-2017 Which do you suggest I read first pink smog or Weetzie Bat?(:P)]]> MagicalMairead Epic Reads Book Club Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:08:37 -0500 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1962#msg-1962 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1962#msg-1962
I've been reading your books for about 10 years now, and I just wanted to say that Weetzie Bat is one of my absolute favorite characters. She's so unique! What is your favorite trait about her?]]> ohaiitschey Epic Reads Book Club Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:19:48 -0500 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1882#msg-1882 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1882#msg-1882
I know that in addition to Pink Smog, you also wrote a sequel to Weetzie Bat for the adult audience. Between that and Pink Smog, which was your favorite extension of the Weetzie Bat series to write and why?]]> NotoriousGOT Epic Reads Book Club Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:46:11 -0500 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1813#msg-1813 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1813#msg-1813

My question is:
Do you keep the idea once you write it down or is there always a chance of change? How do you know exactly that that is the sentence/idea you want when there are probably so many other thoughts going on in your head?]]> SassySiham Epic Reads Book Club Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:09:34 -0500 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1782#msg-1782 http://www.epicreads.com/forum/read.php?38,1782,1782#msg-1782 PINK SMOG, the prequel to Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block!
