We Were Liars By E. Lockhart (A. Marquis)
"My mother and her sisters were dependent on Grandad and his money. They had the best educations, a thousand chances, a thousand connections, and still they'd ended up unable to support themselves. None of them did anything useful in the world. Nothing necessary. Nothing brave. They were still little girls, trying to get in good with Daddy" (Lockhart 161).

“The shirt looks okay. Better than okay. It looks good. I jump up and down. The girl in the mirror jumps up and down. I put my two pinkie fingers in my mouth and pull my lips to the sides in a big crazy face. The girl in the mirror does the same. Oh my God. She’s me” (Cooner 128).

"People with a high tolerance for boredom can get a lot of thinking done. Especially when their pregnant wife has died unexpectedly. And hell I was being paid to do what I love, and there's no gig on earth better than that; it's like a license to steal." (King 265)

“(Somalia) was a watershed," said one State Department official, "The idea used to be that terrible countries were terrible because good, decent, innocent people were being oppressed by evil, thuggish leaders. Somalia changed that. Here you have a country where just about everybody is caught up in hatred and fighting. You stop an old lady on the street and ask her if she wants peace, and she’ll say, yes, of course, I pray for it daily. All the things you’d expect her to say. Then ask her if she would be willing for her clan to share power with another in order to have that peace, and she’ll say, 'With those murderers and thieves? I’d die first.

Biography 
"He walked with confidence and dressed well, conjuring an impression of wealth and achievement. He was twenty six years old. His height was five feet, eight inches; he weighed only 155 pounds. He had dark hair and striking blue eyes, once likened to the eyes of a Mesmerist... "They are blue. Great murderers, like great men in other walks of activity, have blue eyes"

"The Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with the Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice."

"If Mabel's talking about the girl who hugged her good-bye before she left for Los Angeles, who laced fingers with her at the last bonfire of the summer and accepted shells from almost-strangers , who analyzed novels for fun and lived with her grandfather in a pink, rent-controlled house in the Sunset that often smelled like cake and was often filled with elderly, gambling men—if she's talking about that girl, then yes, she disappeared."

“He’s stuck out there. He thinks he’s totally alone and that we all gave up on him. What kind of effect does that have on a man’s psychology?” He turned back to Venkat. “I wonder what he’s thinking right now.”

"If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are ***holes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.”

"It was in their eyes that first drew Ellis in. Seated on the front porch of a weathered gray farmhouse, among the few homes lining the road surrounded by hayfields, two boys were pitching pebbles at a tin can. Ages six and eight at most, they wore no shoes or shirts. Only patched overalls exposing much of their fair skin tinted by grime and summer sun."

We're going to do some mini-book talks!  Grab your current book and post an entry about it.
(1) Add the book’s title , author, AND your name at the top of your post. Ex: The Help by Katherine Stockett (John Doe)
(2) find a significant chunk of text from your independent reading book  that offers "a taste" of the book.  Try to choose something that will engage your classmates. 2-4 sentences.
(3) find a photo to accompany your quote. This should be something that relates thematically to your book, and/or entices the reader.
(4) Next week, you will get the chance to use your quote and picture to “book talk” your book to the class in two-minutes-or-less.
(5) To create your post, click on the + sign in the bottom right corner.
