Welcome back to Thursday Quotables! This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week. Whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written, Thursday Quotables is where my favorite lines of the week will be, and you’re invited to join in!
Warning: This week’s selection is not for the squeamish! If you have an aversion to all things icky, look away now.
Brood by Chase Novak
(published October 7, 2014)
RestorePro’s workers, decked out in muck boots, respirators, and HAZMAT suits, had swooped in. Of course, the worst thing about the cleanup was the blood, the hair, the fur, and the bones, and the teeth, the parts of bodies for which neither Alex nor Leslie had a taste — they both eschewed ears, and found feet as a rule inedible.
The sequel to Breed is proving to be just as disturbing and disgusting as the first book… and what does it say about me that I’ve read 25% and I’m enjoying it very much so far?
Happy Halloween!
What lines made you laugh, cry, or gasp this week? Do tell!

Hi Lisa 🙂
Sorry, I missed the Thursday Quotable this week. I’m preparing for NaNoWriMo (Oh, my goodness, it starts TOMORROW!!!!!) and I’m so very busy. I’ll try to post for the meme if I can, but I can’t promise anything for November.
This quote is really… weird. Yeah, it is disturbing, but it has a great voice, in my opinion.
Good luck with NaNoWriMo! I hope it’s really a great experience for you! Thanks for stopping by — and jump in for future quotables whenever you have the time. You’re right, this one is weird (although I love the way the words sound — especially the bit about eschewing ears!). I have just a bit left in the book, and it’s so bizarre, but I like it!
