    “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
    Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
    Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
    "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."
    Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."

    “Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.

    “The real story of the Fleece: there were these two children of Zeus, Cadmus and Europa, okay? They were about to get offered up as human sacrifices, when they prayed to Zeus to save them. So Zeus sent this magical flying ram with golden wool, which picked them up in Greece and carried them all the way to Colchis in Asia Minor. Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that's not important."

    “In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan's Curse

    “Dreams like a podcast,
    Downloading truth in my ears.
    They tell me cool stuff."

    He put his finger to his lips. "I'm incognito. Call me Fred."
    "A god named Fred?”
    Rick Riordan

    “I don't know. I don't actually remember anything from before the surgery."

    "No, the sex change."

    The doctor's smile faltered.

    "I'm joking.”

    “He froze, becoming stone still. As the hover climbed the hill to the palace, his shoulders sank, and he returned his gaze to the window. "She's my alpha," he murmured, with a haunting sadness in his voice.

    Alpha.

    Cress leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees, "Like the star?"

    "What star?"

    She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha. I thought maybe you meant that she's...like...your brightest star." Looking away, she knotted her hands in her lap, aware that she was blushing furiously now and this beast of a man was about to realize what an over-romantic sap she was.

    But instead of sneering or laughing, Wolf sighed, "Yes," he said, his gaze climbing up to the full moon that had emerged in the blue evening sky. "Exactly like that.”

    “Kai cleared his throat. Stood straighter. "I assume you are going to the ball?"
    "I-I don't know. I mean, no. No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to the ball."
    Kai drew back, confused. "Oh well... but... maybe you would change your mind? Because I am, you know."
    "The prince."
    "Not bragging," he said quickly. "Just a fact.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cinder

    “It's all right," said Wolf. "You loved her. I would feel the same if someone wanted to erase Scarlet's identity and give it to Levana's army.

    Scarlet stiffened, heat rushing into her cheeks. He certainly wasn't insinuating . . .

    "Aaaaw," squealed Iko. "Did Wolf just say that he loves Scarlet? That's so cute!"

    Scarlet cringed. "He did not--that wasn't--" She balled her fists against her sides. "Can we get back to these soldiers that are being rounded up, please?"

    "Is she blushing? She sounds like she's blushing."

    "She's blushing," Thorne confirmed, shuffling the cards. "Actually, Wolf is also looking a little flustered--”

    “Soon, the whole world would be searching for her--Linh Cinder.
    A deformed cyborg with a missing foot.
    A Lunar with a stolen identity.
    A mechanic with no one to run to, nowhere to go.
    But they will be looking for a ghost.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cinder

    Marissa Meyer
    “Captain,” she murmured.
    “I think I’m in love with you.”
    An eyebrow shot up. She counted six beats of his heart before, suddenly, he laughed.
    “Don’t tell me it took you two whole days to realize that. I must be losing my touch.”

    “All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
    Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
    Iko's hand shot into the air.
    "Yes, Iko?"
    "That is the best idea ever. Count me in.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    Marissa Meyer
    “Cress?"
    "It's beautiful out there."
    A hesitation, before, "Could you be more specific?"
    "The sky is gorgeous, intense blue color." She pressed her fingers to the glass and traced the wavy hills on the horizon.
    "Oh, good. You've really narrowed it down for me."
    "I'm sorry, it's just..." She tried to stamp down the rush of emotion. "I think we're in a desert."
    "Cactuses and tumbleweeds?"
    "No just a lot of sand. It's kind of orangish-gold, with hints of pink, and I can see tiny clouds of it floating above the ground, like...like smoke."
    "Piles up in lots of hills?"
    "Yes, exactly! And it's beautiful."
    Thorne snorted. "If this is how you feel about a desert, I can't wait until you see your first real tree. Your mind will explode.”
