Teaser Tuesday: Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink, Pandemonium, The Host, & The Thirteen

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly feature, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.   

Now, here is the dirty little secret of almost every girl who loves history: somewhere along the line, she fell for a fictional historical hottie. Maybe it was Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in that dripping wet shirt. Or Clark Gable imagining Vivien Leigh without her shimmy. Or a rascally Hugh Grant charming a girl Senseless. Even Leonardo DiCaprio clinging to the Titanic as he slowly turned blue. Believe you me. If a girl loves history, this probably happened.

~ Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver, pg. 192

"Just because she isn't human, do you think that means she doesn't feel pain?" Ian asked as his voice faded into the distance. "That she doesn't feel just like a girl who's been beaten - beaten by us?"

~ The Host by Stephenie Meyer, pg. 184
