Spangly descriptions!

[WriterGirl]

Have you ever been minding your own business, reading a book, and then come across a brilliantly worded description that you really loved but unfortunately there was no one around to share this wonderful bit of writing with?

Well, now there is!!!!!

I'll start

This is an expert from Scortch by Gina Damico (second book in the trilogy):

"Lex had never been to Las Vegas, but even she knew that this place was Las Vegas times ten. On crack. It was as if the town had been placed into a blender with a giant disco ball, shaken with a Mardi Gras parade, and then had vomited a pile of tinsel and glitter all over itself."

It was lucky I wasn't drinking at the time of listening to this audiobook, or I'd have spat water all over my computer I laughed that hard.

So what're some of your most favourite lines of writing?

"Because he will grip you by the shoulders and wrench you around and he will bring his bristly mouth to yours and blow stars down your throat until you are so full of light." — You Better Not Cry by Augusten Burroughs.

... every time I read it, I feel it.
