Jenn Bennett QUOTES

1 " It's a shame I'm going to be forced to commit severe testicular trauma upon that boy "

― Jenn Bennett , Alex, Approximately

2 " @mink: Well, you’re in luck, if you pick another movie. My hair is clean, I usually eat dinner around eight, and I’m currently single. Not that it matters. "

― Jenn Bennett , Alex, Approximately

3 " Hey, Bex?” Jack said as he grated. “Just so we’re clear, if we were alone, I’d probably kiss you right now.”
I gave him a swift glance as the hallway laughter made its way back to the kitchen. “Just so we’re clear, I’d probably let you. "

― Jenn Bennett , The Anatomical Shape of a Heart

4 " And then he was kissing me like we were both on fire and he was trying to put the flames out, and I kissed him back like an arsonist with a pocketful of matches. "

― Jenn Bennett , The Anatomical Shape of a Heart

5 " It wasn’t the first time I’d run across sex spells: they
were just as common as electricity-kindled spells. They just
aren’t convenient for your average on-the-go magical
needs.
“Do all the memory spells require that?” I asked.
“I don’t think so. I just noticed it on the last couple of
retrieval ones.”
“Uh, maybe I could just get myself, you know, privately
…?” I suggested. I regretted it immediately, and felt my face
flush with warmth. What the hell was I going to do? Ask Lon
if he had any porn I could borrow and hole up in his library’s
washroom? "

― Jenn Bennett , Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1)

6 " But there was only so much worrying you could do before you just had to accept what life throws at you and move on, because some things were going to be out of your control, and others can’t be fixed or changed. And for everything I’d lost over the last couple of months, I still had a lot. More than I expected, actually.”. "

― Jenn Bennett , Summoning the Night (Arcadia Bell, #2)

7 " One man's deviance is other man's lunch break. "

― Jenn Bennett , Bitter Spirits (Roaring Twenties, #1)

8 " Do you ride?” That sounded sort of dirty, and the way he looked at me felt sort of dirty, too. No one ever looked at me like that.
“Why ‘Ghost’?” I asked.
Grasping the top of the car door, he leaned over it and spoke in a dramatic, foreboding voice. “Because she’s so fast she disappears down the streets at night.”
“That sounds dangerous.”
His dimple appeared. “The best things in life are. "

― Jenn Bennett , The Anatomical Shape of a Heart

9 " When I looked up at the stars, I saw us. You were the stars and I was the dark sky behind you”
“Without dark sky you couldn’t see the stars”
“I knew I was useful” he says
“You’re essential "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

10 " You were the stars, and I was the dark sky behind you."
"Without dark sky, you couldn't see the stars."
"I knew I was useful," he says.
"You're essential. "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

11 " For our one-month anniversary, he made me a picture map.

A map of us.

It’s years in the making, and it’s messy and convoluted, some of it even tragic. But I wouldn’t change the route, because we walked it together, even when we were apart. And the best part about it is that it’s unfinished.

Uncertainty isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes it can even be filled with extraordinary potential. "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

12 " We?"
"You and me, yes."
"The two of us hiking to Condor Peak? Alone?"
"I wasn't planning on inviting the bear along, but if you think we need a chaperone.. "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

13 " He thinks I’m a snob? He’s not the first. Just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I’m aloof. Maybe I just want to be alone. Maybe I’m not good at conversation. "

― Jenn Bennett , Alex, Approximately

14 " What's that?"
"French press."
"For coffee? Real coffee? Not instant?"
"We're camping, Zorie, not living in a dystopian nightmare. "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

15 " We’re under the same starry sky,” I say.
“We always are.”
“Not together,” I argue.
“I think we’ve always been together, even when we were apart,” he says, slipping his hand around mine.
“I know it’s a cliché, but sometimes I would look up at the stars and wonder if you were ever looking at them at the same time,” I admit.
“When I looked up at the stars, I saw us. You were the stars, and I was the dark sky behind you. "

― Jenn Bennett , Starry Eyes

16 " Arcadia,” Lon’s voice said from my phone. “Who is this?” I teased.
“You can’t take my son on a date.” “I didn’t ask him. He asked me.” “He stole my cell and called without permission.” “Sounds like a personal problem to me.” A low growling noise came out of the phone. "

― Jenn Bennett , Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1)

17 " He gathered me closer, kissed my neck, then spoke in a low voice next to my ear. “I figure, see, if you find yourself getting more attached to the two of us than you planned, maybe you won’t think about picking up and leaving to start another life somewhere else. "

― Jenn Bennett , Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1)

18 " Maybe it involved a woman. Oh, maybe even a nun—ooh! Wouldn’t that be scandalous?” “Indeed, but no. "

― Jenn Bennett , Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1)

19 " So..."he whispered huskily in my ear, "we've discovered that you can arouse me." He demonstrated this fact by pressing harder against me, just in case I'd forgotten. "However, we don't know about you. And there is the small matter of Heka. "

― Jenn Bennett , Kindling the Moon (Arcadia Bell, #1)

20 " Bind Merrimoth," he finally said, "and I'll do that think you like later."
"It's not like my power reacts to the reward system," I said, then added, "What thing?"
The corner of his mouth quirked. "On the chair."
"You mean the thing you like?"
"We both like," he corrected. "Win-win. "
