Gah!! No favorite quote because there are too many to choose from!! I think I’ve read all of your books in about 2 weeks (while working too!)!! And I’ve ordered my “attempted murder” tshirt and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival. I would love to win a copy of all of your books and an advanced eARC too!! 🙂
Entry #1 – though I’m letting you slide about the quote!! 🙂 I hope you love the T-shirt!!
My favorite quote that immediately comes to mind is “I could never rule out my own inability to focus on things that didn’t interest me” from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and other Deadly Magic because it reminds me so much of myself. Gotta love Jade!
Thank you for all that you do, Meghan!
Entry #2 – I’m thinking of designing up a T-shirt around this quote. 😀
This would be an amazing t-shirt!
I’m just wondering if I need to change it to present tense … And if that then wouldn’t be a direct quote from the book. “I never can underestimate my ability to … “
I would buy it past or present tense 😀
I think I’ll have Elizabeth do it as a direct quote in the New Year. Add in some of the chocolate cosmos and the Dowser series hashtag. I just want to wait until Amazon Merch gets everything sorted out on their end. They are still restricting sales. 🙁
Mcgrowly yes it helped to make fun of him in my head. The sentence it evlrvivant I simply love the word so much I named my cat after him.
Entry #3 – I MUST SEE A PICTURE OF YOUR McGROWLY!!
Anything about chocolate. Or about Kandy’s hair. Maybe when Kandy’s hair turns brown and totally freaks Jade out.
Entry #4 – 😀 Again, letting you slide without an actual quote. 😀
I will endure. It’s sweet, simple and gets to her point.
Entry #5 – <3
I couldn’t pick just one! All I know for sure is, if a book makes me laugh out loud, and then cry, on the same page, it’s amazing! All your books do that for me! I’ve read all of them in a couple of months, and always pre-order the new ones! Amazing and thank you!
Entry #6 – I’m glad you like the books. 😀 I’m letting you slide without an actual quote. 😀
There are so many great quotes to choose from. One of my favorites from I See Me is ” He didn’t leave. He saw my crazy and he didn’t leave.”
Can’t wait to break out the Oreos and settle in on the 17th!
Entry #7 – we all want someone who can see and accept our crazy!
“I didn’t know what I was looking for until I saw it. It wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t one specific image. It wasn’t a clue. It wasn’t enlightenment. It wasn’t good versus evil.
It was endurance.
I had endured.
I endured.
I will endure.” Jade from Dowser 5
I love this. Something for all of us to keep in mind. We all endure and will continue to do so until the final moments. We just have to keep mindful of the good and enjoy it as it comes.
Entry #8 – <3 <3 <3
Can I have a couple of quotes?! There’s too many goodies lol 🙂
From dowser #1-
“If that’s not the kettle talking smack about the pot, I don’t know what is.”
From dowser #5-
“You know, if rabid koalas went around giving hugs”
From dowser #4-
“Im not attracted to grumpy older men. Yeah, I’d just keep telling myself that.”
Entry #9 – Hee hee!! Love these.
“Hey,” Kandy said. “Aren’t I supposed to get chocolate if you’re going to force girly talk on me?” – Treasures, Demons, and other Black Magic
I love Kandy so much, and this quote still fits her so perfectly.
Entry #10 – Kandy!! 😀
Too much shit was rattling around in my head, and none of it was constructive or helpful.
Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic Dowser #2
Entry #11 – Good luck, Gail!!!
These two captured my attention from the very beginning.
“If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders – The Adept – was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it. That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you – a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled… except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.”
“The customer looked familiar, like maybe he’d been in the bakery a few times before. The vampire, however, was new.”
Entry #12 – opening lines for Dowser 1! I worked hard on those. 🙂
“Shower, please. You smell like bakery. ”
“Some people like it. ”
Because I, too, have to hope that my (pediatrics) odor is on some plain, appealing! 😉
Entry #13 – LOL! I love it, Sara Jo.
I had trouble narrowing it down to one 😱
But……. It came from Dowser 1
“If that’s not the kettle talking smack about the pot, I don’t know what is.”
This made me sit next to hubster snickering my butt off lol and him giving me that ‘look’ that says she’s lost the plot AGAIN!
And what’s this about IF wanted them signed 😨 of COURSE we do 😘
Entry #14 – hee hee!
But it was completely another thing to waste chocolate out of some silly sense of perceived dignity.
Entry #15 – this quote is dear to my heart. LOL
Gah! I’m at work (shh) and don’t have time to find a quote. Rest assured, however, that I love the way your words work. They grab me and draw me in – and I can’t wait for the next installment. Looking forward to “I see me”!
Entry #16 – I’m letting a lot of you slide on the quote requirement! Glad you like the books!!
He just hung on chewing, waiting for me to drop from his damn venom shit. It takes more than that to get me on my back.
Entry #17 – hee hee. Ah, Kett!
And Desmond. LMAO
“You love me.” The fledgling guardian’s smile remained, but his tone turned serious.
“You’d do anything for me.”
“Yes, I would.”
“As I would for you.”
By far one of my favorite quotes between Jade and the fledgling dragon lol
Entry #18 – important scene!! 😀
‘Actually, I had accomplished one thing. My outfit rocked.’ 😂
Dowser 5
Entry #1 9 – I <3 writing Jade!! LOL
From Oracle 1.
I’d find you, Rochelle. They’d have to kill meto keep me away.
Entry #20 – BEAU!!!!!!
It’s a tie between “Don’t run. Only prey runs.” and “I do NOT smell like Chinese food!” 🙂
Entry #21 – both great lines ( if I’m allowed to say so myself).
“I was always moving forward wasn’t I? Always forgiving, always resilient. Maybe it was time to stop. Maybe it was too much.”
From Maps, Artifacts, and other Arcane Magic. I love this quote because even though she feels this way, Jade doesn’t stop. Ever. She is strong, yet so vulnerable.
Entry #22 – <3 Jade <3
“It’s like you and Kett had babies,” from Dowser 3. Just a great way to describe something delicious & to take the mick out of your best friends.
Entry #23 – LOL. Yes.
“Life is a gift,” he said. “And I’m no god.” “She is strong, so strong,” I whispered into his warm skin. “She was injured in service to the guardian nine.” “A service of utmost consequence,” Pulou said behind me. His tone was even, as if he was simply verifying information and not trying to influence the outcome. “She … I can still taste her magic,” I continued. “She’s still here. Please. I would do anything. I would trade my life for hers if I could. Please.” (Dowser 4)
Entry #24 – this scene kills me … Every. Time.
“The kiss was brutal-almost punishingly so. Wins away from the playful way he’d traded me in the bakery kitchen three months ago. As if he were punishing me for being gone so long and welcoming me home at the same time.” Dowser 3 (I ❤️ Desmond)
Entry #25 – 😀
Not fair ! To many to choose from!
Entry #26 – I’m feeling generous – and I’ve let four others slide above as well – but the entry requirement is part of the fun.
“I will endure.” I think it’s the best theme of the characters on your books!
Entry #27 – <3 <3 <3
Even chocolate can’t save the day every time … just most of the time
Entry #28 – the Gospel of the Dowser – LOL!
Drake: “Then, his eyes full of epic sadness, he whispered, “Only three cupcakes remain” I love this whole scenario where he’s learning to savor…cracks me up every time 🙂 and yes, three cupcakes left is a sad moment indeed.
Entry #29 – I <3 Drake. SO MUCH!!
I would walk the path as I chose to walk it, with not another inch of it dictated by friend or foe.
Just makes me admire her more!
Entry #30 – I loved this ending for Dowser 5. Perfectly sets up Dowser 6 … 😀
I’m anxiously awaiting its release!
But it was completely another thing to waste chocolate out of some silly sense of perceived dignity.
Entry #31 – indeed, it is! LOL
“Before I knew who I was – biologically I mean, because I sure as hell don’t know who I actually am yet -” Jade, Dowser 3
I love this quote. Mostly because I relate. I feel like I’m having a midlife crisis, only I’m not old enough for that just yet!
Entry #32 – 😀 the midlife crisis is ongoing, Heather. Sorry. 😀
My favorite quote still comes from Dowser #2. It’s when Kandy say, “Don’t let blondness fool you, fledgling. The witch stabbed a ninehundred-pound grizzly in the ass today. She just keeps her claws better hidden and painted pink.” She describes Jade perfectly to Mory. I just love how bad ass Jade is with a girly edge.
Entry #33 – Kandy is pretty sharp about these things. 🙂
Something along the lines of: “She said watching me bake was like watching an adept witch work a spell. Flattery will get you treats from me every time.: (I think it was Kandy, but not sure…) from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic
Entry #34 – Gran 😀
“It’s like they know me here,” I whispered into the phone. “It’s on the edge of creepy…except there’s dark chocolate. Chocolate can’t ever be creepy.”
Entry #35 – hee hee, I loved this bit.
From the Dowser series, it’s more than one but the last one is one of my faves from McGrowley to Jade.
“Good kiss,” he said. I laughed. “Cool cat form.” “All the better to stalk you with.” Love it!!
Entry #36 – he has his moments 🙂
Yes he does and if there were a real life McGrowley, he could stalk me any time!! 😈
I don’t have just one! I love the series so much and cannot wait for book 6. Might just have to reread the entire series. Lol. Jade talks about chocolate A LOT, so I think Jade and I could be the best of friends! Plus, I bake, so she can show me all her secrets! I really am sorry for not having a quote. This is my first comment and I’m so excited to simply be talking to you! Lol.
Entry #37 – Kayla! I’m letting quotes slide because for some reason people are having issues with the requirement this time round, but I won’t next time. Just to be fair to everyone who has taken the time to dig one up. I hope you understand. Thanks for reading!!
I totally understand! I apologize for no quote! To make up for it, I have one now!
“This is my destiny?” I cried.
“You will stay, Jade Godfrey,” Chi Wen said, his voice pulling me from the clutches of the vision. “Train. Learn your magic. You will walk among the humans once again. But not today.”
I nodded, tears running down my face unchecked. What else could I do?
I cried at the end of this book. The thought of Jade never seeing Kett or McGrowly again? Peral, her mother, Kandy? It broke my heart!
🙁 I bawled at that ending too!! 🙁
There are many… but I’ll go with “Call him vamp to his face”
Entry #38 – 😀
I am totally cheating but I can’t help it… From I See You…
Beau- “you smell like magic. Your magic…”
Rochelle- “do I taste as good as I smell?”
Dear lord- book two is better than book one and I totally didn’t think that was possible… To the rest you of— READ I SEE YOU!!! Immediately when it comes out! It’s flipping awesome!!!
Entry #39 – that is a complete cheat. LOL I forgive you.
Yeah, all I had to do was get through a horde of demons, overcome Sienna’s defenses, and kill my sister. Easy as freaking pie. And I’d always made terrible pie.
Just one of the quotes I like – this one because Jade can make a (bad) joke regardless of what else is going on or how bad it really is.
Entry #40 – that is Jade’s default. 😀
“Again, did you expect anything less from the vampire? He’s such a show-off.”
Maps,Artifacts,and Other Arcane Magic
Dowser #5
Entry #41 – Kandy!!
Don’t know if I’m too late but……
I would walk the path as I chose to walk it, with not another inch of it dictated by friend or foe. it just shows me how string Jade is, wish I could be like her 😀
Got loads of things to get ready for Christmas, hmm may have to do it next week!
Entry #42 – love, love this. I had a difficult time writing and reading this part without bawling.
Love this paragraph – We all feel this way many times, freedom. I See Me
AlI I had to do to be exactly where I’d been dreaming of being for the last three years was climb a couple of orange-carpeted steps up into the cockpit between the driver and passenger seats. From there, I could slide in behind the wheel and be off.
I am really looking forward to “I see you” but have to wait until Christmas as I put it on my list. Have a wonderful holiday
Entry #43 – <3 Rochelle <3 Waiting until Christmas is never a bad thing. 😀
“The customer looked familiar, like maybe he’d been in the bakery a few times before. The vampire, however, was new.”
Entry #44 – 😀
Apple. He’d had the bakery heat up apple juice for me. I shouldn’t read too much in to the action. There was no way he could possibly know what Apple meant to me, just because I ordered Apple pie last night. But still, my throat constricted, and when I tried to hold the emotions at bay, it flooded with a wave of heat through my face and neck. I gasped when the tightness moved to my chest. I couldn’t breathe. Oh, God. I think this was…happiness. Extreme, insane happiness. This didn’t happen in real life.
Sorry to put so much in but this passage made me happy. That Rochellehad to wait 18 years to feel joy was so sad but it did happen…with more to come!
Entry #45 – one of my fav scenes from Oracle 1. <3
Omg, my favorite quote is definitely “I could never rule out my own inability to focus on things that didn’t interest me” from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and other Deadly Magic because, but there are just so many that you’ve inspired me to start a list now!
Entry #46 – Love that, thinking of making a T-shirt out of it. Just so I can wear it. LOL
From Dowser #3: I love Kandy and how freaking blunt she is! Just ONE of my favorites is when Jade mentions a new cupcake and calling it Unity in a cup and Kandy says without missing a beat..”Screw that, its a freaking orgasm in a freaking cup.” That cracked me up
🙂
Entry #47 – hee hee!
