Quotations, what are they really?! :-)

I have read half of my book now. I must say, Marked wasn’t like I had expected it to be. I thought it would be like a scary book with many nasty and evil vampires who wants to kill humans. But that thing doesn’t exist. I can’t really tell you about what’s happening, but if you think Hogwarts, occupied, not by wizards or witches, but by vampyres learning vampyre stuff. Include some jokes and tattoos; you’ll have my book there. If you understand what I mean, you also know what my book is about, perhaps. Anyway, I have read half of it, and I came across some nice quotations that I want to share with you! First you have to know that the story is being told from Zoey’s point of view.

When you read my the quotes you will see that they are a bit strange and, well, that’s how this book is, it’s funny though.

The first quotation is so “non-vampyric” as it could be. It’s when Zoey have past out and she wakes up, it’s quite fun, I think. I kind of like this quotation (obviously).

”I laughed, and it was amazing! I swear I could see my laughter floating around me like the puffy things you blow off a dandelion, only instead of being white it was birthday-cake-frosting-blue. Wow! Who knew hitting my head and passing out would be so much fun? I wondered if this was what it was like to be high.” Page 42, Marked

In the House of Night, they have a lot of cats. But nobody owns them, the cats chooses them. So they really like cats in this book, and that’s why I chose this quote. This quotation is told by Neferet.

“I’ve found that the way a person feels about cats – and the way they feel about him or her in return – is usually an excellent gauge by which to measure a person’s character” Marked, page 59

Now I’m moving to a really annoying quotation. I don’t like it, it’s told by Aphrodite, who thinks that she is the best person in the world or something. You don’t usually think that someone could say this; it is quite embarrassing to listen to. Aphrodite has a little too good self-confidence…

“It’s amazing here mostly because of me.”

I glanced at her, thinking that she must be kidding, and met her cold blue eyes.

“Yeah, you heard me right. This place is cool because I’m cool.” Aphrodite, Marked

I just think he’s smart, I mean what could you say to bring this argument down?

“Actually, since I’m gay I think I should count for two guys instead of just one. I mean, in me you get the male point of view and you don’t have to worry about me wanting to touch your boobies.” Damien, page 91.

Yes… I like this, I like Damien, and he seems like a funny person. And I am starting use the word “sycophants”, the most hilarious word I’ve heard since… I don’t know.

“I followed his gaze and felt a zap of nerves when I recognized who he was talking about. “You mean Aphrodite”

“Yeah, Damien said. “And her stuck-up flock of sycophants.”

Huh? I blinked at him.

Stevie Rae sighed. “You’ll get used to Damien’s vocabulary obsession. Thankfully, this isn’t a new word so some of us actually know what he’s talking about without having to beg him for translation. Again. Sycophant- a servile flatterer,” she twanged proudly like she was giving an answer in English class.”

I just had to choose this too, they were so gimmicky when they wrote this book.

“Cereal?” I suddenly perked up. I seriously adore cereal, and I have an I ♥ CEREAL shirt to prove it. I especially love Count Chocula – yet another vampyre irony.”

And finally it is proved that Shakespeare was a vampyre! Now we probably know what he was doing during the years when he was gone… He was at the House of Night! Or maybe not…Anyhow, this quotation is told by Professor Nolan, one of the teachers. And I did only choose it because he said that Shakespeare was a vampire.

“….I asked one of our talented upperclassmen to stop by and recite the famous monologue from Othello, written by the famous vampyre playwright Shakespeare.”

And that’s it! Did you like them? Maybe you didn’t understand them all if you haven’t read the books? If that’s the case, ask me! (Especially M and B.)

I do like my book, even if it weren’t as I had expected it to be. But I think (hope) that there is going to happen something soon!

This is the kind of tattoos everyone have in my book. I think it looks nice! :-)
