  1. Kate Forsyth _ Bitter Greens

    Her papa called her 'chiacchere' because he said she chattered away all day, just like a magpie. He had all sorts of funny names for her: 'fiorellina', my little flower; 'abelie', which meant honeysuckle; and 'topolina', my sweet little mouse. Margherita's mother only called her 'piccolina', my little one, or 'mia cara Margherita,' my darling daisy.

  2. Mercedes Lackey _ One Good Knight

    She felt him shifting himself under her and around her, rearranging himself, until she was being held in a real embrace. She opened blurring eyes to find that he had tucked her between his forelegs with his neck curled around her."Shhh-" he said, as she closed her eyes and threw her arms around his warm, soft, slippery neck.

I think you've been holding it in too long."She couldn't have stopped the flood now if she'd wanted to, and she really didn't want to. He was right. She'd been holding it in too long.

Could stand at the Queen's side and-That was all she wanted.And her mother found her so unworthy that Cassiopeia threw her away to feed a monster, like so much offal."Oh, Andie," Peri sighed in her ear.

  6. Aimee Bender _ The Particular Sadness of

    My birthday cake was her latest project because it was not from a mix but instead built from scratch- the flour, the baking soda, lemon-flavored because at eight that had been my request; I had developed a strong love for sour. We'd looked through several cookbooks together to find just the right one, and the smell in the kitchen was overpoweringly pleasant. To be clear: the bite I ate was delicious.
