| a530b58 | Look, girls. It is important to all of us that we win this game, right? Well, when it comes to athletics, boys are simply better suited than girls. It's a fact of nature that no one can change. I'm sorry, but maybe you can play next time when it's less crucial. | sweet-valley sports | Francine Pascal | |
| 1cb3ec4 | Elizabeth remembered how foolish everyone had felt when they discovered Mr. Mercandy was the victim of a stroke and not a zombie as they'd thought. | stroke sweet-valley zombie | Francine Pascal | |
| 6ada7eb | Jessica was clearly in her element, moving with the music naturally and without effort. Even her lustrous golden hair swayed to the beat, completing the perfect picture of a dancer caught up in ecstasy. | Francine Pascal | ||
| 95e48a1 | Guy struck a jangling chord on the keyboards and then another. 'You know,' he announced, sitting back and crossing his arms. 'We need some new material. We've got to write some new songs.' 'Like what?' He shrugged. 'I don't know. Throw out some ideas.' 'Love! Death! Existential struggle!' Emily intoned dramatically, rattling out a drumroll. 'Agriculture! | sweet-valley | Francine Pascal | |

| 1acd101 | She had started driving past his apartment to see whether or not his car was out front. She had looked up his phone number, and twice she had called his apartment from the pay phone in school, knowing he wouldn't be at home, just so she could hear how sexy his voice sounded on his answering machine. Was this what falling in love was supposed to feel like? | sweet-valley unbalanced stalking | Francine Pascal | |
| 73f3954 | Jessica walked away from Aaron and Ken, flashing them both a big smile. They were both very attractive - she had dated each of them a number of times. In fact, not too long ago she had contemplated falling in love with Ken for lack of anything better to do. | sweet-valley falling-in-love flirting | Francine Pascal | |
| 01bc6be | Imagine a world full of Elizabeth Wakefields,' Lila said. 'Could you imagine a duller, more predictable place? I think I'd go crazy. | sweet-valley | Francine Pascal | |

| cd6aa74 | And then he kisses me. Yes, the beautiful vampire, the dark general, the one who never gets close to anyone, leans in and presses his lips against mine. This kiss is soft. Gentle. Light. Like a butterfly's wing whisking my lips. | vampiric paranormal-romance urban-fantasy ya vampires | Mari Mancusi | |
| de1d8a6 | O-kay. Kind of freaky. I'm now standing in an actual tomb, in pitch darkness, with only a vampire to keep me company. Last week if you'd sworn on a stack of Bibles that I'd be okay with all of this, I wouldn't have believed you. | vampire-romance ya | Mari Mancusi | |
| edfc484 | They should install elevators in this place. What if they turned a handicapped person into a vampire? Talk about your discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen. | vampire-romance-series ya | Mari Mancusi | |

| 81c348b | Taking acceptable risks is a key ingredient for success. If the path was easy, everyone would take it. Ballsy people, if they're intelligent and learn from their mistakes, shape the world. The thing that few people get is that ballsy people aren't any more certain than anyone else. They know they could fail, but also know that if they don't take a shot, they can't succeed either. | Sean Platt | ||

| 4c4aa45 | strength and a weakness -- an obsessive-compulsive breed of obstinacy. Those who couldn't accept the obvious would slam their heads against the inevitable until they exhausted their numbers and dwindled to nothing. | Sean Platt | ||
| 651df40 | So now there really are little green men on the moon?" "These people weren't official SETI. They didn't understand the data at first. Turns out, they were hearing an echo. Something not from the moon, but bouncing off the moon." | Sean Platt | ||
| f7de65e | Lila sensed the cessation of motion more than she actually felt it. Being in the shuttle did something to her equilibrium -- something about the sense of being high in the air in what looked like a bubble from the inside combined with a force that felt like an invisible seat belt. Her fear was making everything worse. | Sean Platt | ||
| 4a269d5 | open. The two other men ran out, the blond's hair in corkscrews. He looked lost, baffled by the wreck at the bottom of the incline. But the other --the one with the buzz cut --didn't look lost at all. He looked like he knew exactly what was happening, angry as a kicked nest of wasps. His head ticked toward Lila. She slunk back, hopefully out of sight. She had no idea if he'd seen her, and couldn't peek to check. Lila was blind. And he might.. | Sean Platt | ||

| c050ba6 | Howdy there, you've reached Boricio's Center For Mental Fitness. Please listen to the following options: If you're obsessive compulsive, press #1 over and over, 47 times or your mother will die. If you're co-dependent, turn to the nearest asshole and ask them to press #2 for you. Multiple personalities, I will direct you to buttons #3, 4, 5, and 6. Press them all, one at a time.

| f097abb | Oh shit, I'm sorry," Brent said. He never knew what to say when someone mentioned death. And he always felt like "sorry" was one of the worst things you could say. It was so ... trite. Yet, he could never think of anything better. He'd tried other phrases, like "sorry for your loss," but that felt like a cheesy cop show line, even if it was slightly better than "sorry." If he were being honest, he'd simply say, "that sucks," because death t.. | Sean Platt | ||
| b065dc7 | Success comes from hard work and the accumulation of small numbers. Unlike yesterday, today's prosperity can bloom from continuous intelligent production. For the first time in history, life as a full-time writer has become about simple math. | Sean Platt | ||
| 61e1e43 | In an ethical sales transaction, the buyer and seller should be equally pleased. Each party should feel like thanking the other. Ethical marketing is nothing more than letting people who might like your product know it exists -- and, ideally, giving them some sort of a deal that makes the offer better for the potential buyer. | Sean Platt | ||
| f19ae81 | unbelievably, even Charlie --had come from moments of privacy with red eyes. Piper had cried the most, and openly. But it wasn't loss she saw on Cameron's face now. It was something worse. "They let us go," he said. "They almost killed us back at Little Cottonwood, but then they had their time to cool off, and now they're just watching again. They won't hurt us. No matter what we do, we're free to be slaves." "We don't know that," Andreus s.. | Sean Platt | ||

| 75fc96c | El cielo esta tan alto, y mis ojos tan sin mirada, que vivia contenta con saber donde quedaba la tierra. Ademas, le perdi todo mi interes desde que el padre Renteria me aseguro que jamas conoceria la gloria. Que ni siquiera de lejos la veria... Fue cosa de mis pecados; pero el no debia habermelo dicho. Ya de por si la vida se lleva con trabajos. Lo unico que la hace a una mover los pies es la esperanza de que al morir la lleven a una de un .. | Juan Rulfo |
