Road Trip Wednesday: Favorite Line

C'mon. You know you loved this show.
Welcome to our 62nd Road Trip Wednesday!

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments over at the highway.

This Week's Topic:
What is your favorite line from your WIP (or from a book you read recently)?


I won't lie. It's out of sheer laziness that I'm not going to dig through some of my favorite books (or notebooks where I scribble down some favorite lines). However, I have one burned into memory (though out of context it might not be as goosebump-inducing)

AND SO THE YOUNGER GIRL DID IT
AND HER WHOLE WORLD FILLED WITH LIGHT.

The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson


As for my own personal line, I'm not sure this my absolute favorite or anything. But it's from the middle grade story I've been working on and I think it sums my character up well ;) 

After such a long first day, nothing sounded better than throwing off my sneakers and kicking back with a cold glass of Kool-Aid.

Kicking off your sneakers and drinking some Kool-Aid sounds good to me even now!

I love me some Kool-Aid, haven't had any in a while! And that line from The Sky is Everywhere sounds sooooo good, it makes me even more mad that I STILL haven't read this book!

Cheating a bit as I've been re-reading LOTR:
