10-word Love Stories

Activities slated for teens attending the Swoon Reads Tour events include a 10-Word Love Story contest (#10wordlovestory), as well as a YA romance trivia game and the chance to vote on the cover for an upcoming Swoon Reads title. Here, the first five Swoon authors have a go at a 10-Word Love Story of their own.


Karole Cozzo: "But I stayed awake, watching his lashes flutter with dreams."


Kim Karalius: "His head was in the clouds. She used a ladder."


Sandy Hall: "You waited until we could watch the season finale together."


Temple West: "Star Wars, Sherlock, Doctor Who: nerds united, me and you."


Katie Van Ark: "Did she want French lessons? Yes, please, and both kinds."
