From The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green:
I didn't tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die. (page 24)
From Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier:
Three days ago, I didn't even have an inkling about the existence of the Guardians. Three days ago, my life had still been perfectly normal. (page 58)
What are you reading this week? I can't wait to get started on The Diviners, by Libba Bray.
The Fault in Our Stars looks interesting, but I'm not sure how a man can write from the viewpoint of a young girl. Glad you liked it. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteI just started listening to The Fault in Our Stars and remember that line.

ReplyDeletelove the teasers! I had to stop The Fault in Our Stars...not because I didn't like it, but I didn't feel like crying big ugly tears. will be picking it up again when i don't have to see anyone for a while. ;)
