Technically - and actually - it's Wednesday, and according to my schedule I get to talk about me today. However, as I'm still plodding along and not writing very much at all, I'm handing over to Rachel Morgan of Rachel Morgan Writes who has just released her third book in the Creepy Hollow series, Traitor. Over to you, Rachel...
For anyone who's hung around my blog for long enough, it's no secret that I like playing around with little voting widgets. I've asked people to vote for or against prologues, for an awesome book cover or a cool, catchy title, and I even managed to incorporate poll widgets into one of my entries for the Writers' Platform-Building Campaign!
Another thing I love is book quotes. When I'm reading, if I come across a line I love, I type it into a memo on my cell phone. Then later I go find the quotes on Goodreads and add them to my favorite quotes! So when I published my own books, it was a great source of amusement to me to add my own quotes to Goodreads (yeah, okay, you can make fun of me if you want!).
So today I'm putting together my love of polls and my love of quotes. Below are some quotes I've taken from well-known novels. Hopefully you've read some (or all) of these books. If not ... well, just take a wild guess as to who you think said each line!
The last quote is from TRAITOR, my newly released novelette in the Creepy Hollow series. Violet is the main character, Nate is her boyfriend, Ryn is the guy who pisses her off whenever he can, and Aria is the classic 'mean girl'.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Twilight
Obsidian
The Lord of the Rings
Traitor
That was fun, right? Right? (Please say yes!) I'll leave the answers in the comments after you've had a go at guessing the correct names :-)
Kick-butt faerie girl + cute human boy who shouldn't be able to see her
Well that was fun! I know I got at least HP and LOTR right, which are the important ones anyway! (Besides Traitor, which I can't be blamed for not knowing as I haven't read it yet) ;)
Very interesting to see the results! Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings seem to be the easiest to get right, as I suspected. I just realized why people are guessing the wrong Twilight name - that line was said by a different character in the movie as opposed to the book!
Harry Potter - Dumbledore Twilight - Laurent (in the movie it was James) Obsidian - Ash The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn Traitor - Ryn
That was fun, but the only one I knew for sure was the Harry Potter quote lol! :D
ReplyDeletePutting quotes from your book on Goodreads is an enterprising idea ... one that I might steal from you!
ReplyDeleteFun but I think I got most of them wrong!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! I only voted in LOTR: Sam -- my favorite character. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for voting, guys! And thanks so much, Annalisa, for hosting me today :-)
ReplyDelete(I'll wait a little longer before I share the answers here!)

ReplyDeleteA lot of fun. I think I may have even gotten a couple of them right.
ReplyDeleteDumbledore, James, Daemon, Aragorn, Violet. Thanks Rachel, that was fun:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about any of them! Looking forward to the answers. Thanks to everyone who's answered so far :-)
ReplyDeleteCrap, I don't think I got any right. Guess I don't pay as much attention as I thought I did.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course I got them right! You only had all my fav stories in there.ha FUN.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! I wasn't sure about the last three, though--no excuses with LOTR, darn it--so I'm interested in seeing the answers to those.
ReplyDeleteI've read all of these books except Obsidian and Traitor (which obviously I intend to), but I'm pretty sure I got them all wrong!
ReplyDeleteActually, I think I MAY have got the Traitor one right even though I haven't read it yet. Be interested to see... :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. I got the three that I've read right...yay, me!
ReplyDelete*DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET*

Thanks for playing ♥
I'm two for four and I feel pretty good as its been so long since I read Lord of the Rings and I haven't read traitor. But this was fun. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDarn it! I'm not as clever as I thought:) 3 out of 5's not bad, though. Thanks Rachel, that was fun.
ReplyDeleteNope, I didn't get any - not even the Harry Potter one! Back to the books for me :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post Rachel, it's been fun!
that was very fun! i love quotes but can never come up with any on the spot...
ReplyDeleteAnd now I am ashamed of how few of those books I have read!
ReplyDeleteI missed all of 'em, but it was fun anyway!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get any of them, either. Oh well. Beautiful book covers! I'll have to go check them out. :)
