I haven't started reading my new book until... TODAY! I made it to page 74! My sister and I are into Ally Condie's books from the Matched series. Crossed is book 2. So far it is my favorite of the 2. I think it's because this book deals so much with loss. I love the search.
Some of my favorite lines from Crossed so far:
"I've written so many beginnings over these months out here and yet the middle and the end of our kind of love are things I haven't seen yet for myself."
"In that moment I know that I won't tell the others. I'll do what I always do when someone trusts me with dangerous words: I'll destroy."
"There it is. The real question. The one we all ask ourselves all the time. Am I going to run? I've thought about it every day, every hour."
I choose to stay this time. No running. No hiding. Confronting myself. Because that is the only person I can control. But even she is unruly sometimes.

"I And Love And You"
by The Avett Brothers
Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
When at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh but it's just a waste of time
Yeah it's such a waste of time
That woman she's got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance I said it's fine
I'll see you in the morning time
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape im in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you were then, I am today
Look at the things I do
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I'm in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams to catch the world, the cage
The highway sets the traveler's stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
I and love and you
I and love and you
