Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand, Carrie Vaughn
I walked out into the spotlight like I knew what I was doing.
Daredevil, Volume 1 (TPB) by Mark Waid, Paolo Rivera, & Marcos Martin
MATT: I'm not Daredevil, Stu.
STU: Yeah, yeah. Sugar?
MATT: Two.
STU: So let's talk kissin' the bride at a mob wedding. That took sack. How was it?
MATT: You'd have to ask Daredevil, Stu.
Zoe's Tale, John Scalzi
Gretchen and I didn't sign up for any teams; we appointed ourselves league managers and no one called us on it; apparently word of the intense mockery we laid on a wild pack of teenage boys had gotten around and we were feared and awed equally.
The Shadowed Sun, N.K. Jemisin
"You've won a friend, it seems."
"Yes." The Banbarra admired swift, efficient killers.
Sparrow Hill Road, Seanan McGuire
Being dead means never moving on--not all the way. Not until you pass that final exit, and move on from everything.
The Three-Body Problem, Cixin Liu, Ken Liu (translator)
As the swarm landed in the fields nearby, the three men stood in the middle of a living shower, feeling the dignity of life on Earth. Ding Yi and Wang Miao poured the two bottles of wine they had with them on the ground beneath their feet, a toast for the bugs.
A Rule Against Murder, Louise Penny
Murder was deeply human. A person was killed and a person killed. And what powered the final thrust wasn't a whim, wasn't an event. It was an emotion. Something once healthy and human had become wretched and bloated and finally buried. But not put to rest.
The Food of the Philippines, Reynaldo Gamboa Alejandro
Compared to her neighbors' fiery or curried fare, Philippine cuisine is a more reserved species: a naive cuisine accented at table by strong-flavored condiments.
Echoes of Honor, David Weber
Duty. Honor. Loyalty. Patriotism. She might call it by any name she chose, but in the dark hours of the night she knew she had become what she was not simply because someone had to but because she did it so much better than most.
Thanksgiving, Sam Sifton
Thanksgiving is no place for irony. We are simply going to cook.
Kitty Raises Hell, Carrie Vaughn
The supernatural world was like an onion. You peel back the layers, only to find more layers, on and on, hopelessly trying to reach the mysterious core. Then you start crying.
Cindy's Supper Club, Cindy Pawlcyn
The classic garnish for this soup is peeled grapes. Yes, it is like the days of ancient Rome, but it is such a perfect garnish that it is worth the effort.
The Filipino-American Kitchen, Jennifer M. Aranas
In Filipino cuisine, there's no such thing as a little garlic.
Firefight, Brandon Sanderson
Oh, thank you, I thought, feeling an overwhelming sense of relief. Dancing was stressful--but murderous demigods, those I could deal with.
Ship Breaker, Paolo Bacigalupi
"The only reason you think you've got morals is because you don't need money the way regular people do."
Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus, Mira Grant
Sometimes love is a spider hiding in the corner of the room, dark and brooding and terrible to anyone who doesn't experience love in the exact same way. That's what makes love so dangerous, and so impossible to destroy. You can't kill what you can't see.
Lindt: Chocolate Passion, Ann Czaja
Chocolate is an incredibly versatile ingredient, and cooking with it is fairly straightforward, and most importantly, delicious.
