Five Most Swoon-worthy Quotes in 2013 YA Books

Swoon-worthy quotes in 2013 were plentiful, so coming up with 5 favorite swoon-worthy quotes proved rather tricky. Can you think of just a few moments in 2013 book releases that made you lose your breath, get a little dizzy-daydreamy? Narrowing down my list took a lot of concentration and required lots of caffeine and maybe a leftover sugar cookie or two.

Sophie's Quotes:

1) I had to start of with a Jem quote from Clockwork Princess, because well,  it's Jemmmmmmm:













And then, well, I hope you swoon a little when you read the remaining four entries.

2) I had to include my favorite Zach and Cammie moment from United We Spy,  because it's the first time they've seen each other in this story, and he's in her bed (!).













3) And then from Zoe Marriott's The Night Itself. Our main character, Mio has just finished sparring with the swoony Shinobu:
I turned my face towards him, my head coming to rest on his chest. I could feel his heart pounding under the skin there. His eyes were already waiting for mine. The grey clouds in the darkness glowed with something like exultation. His gaze slowly drifted down to my lips.
He's going to try to kiss me again.
And this time I'm not going to stop him.

I felt my face flush, my heart rate flipping out of control. I drew in a shaken breath. "You're very good at this. Have you taught someone before?"
His face broke into a sudden, heart-breaking grin. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
4) I cannot, cannot get this moment from Holly Black's The Coldest Girl in Coldtown out of my mind. Who kisses a vampire like that ?!?
"Kiss me again," she whispered, reaching up her fingers sliding through his hair. She almost didn't know herself as she moved up against him.
He bent helplessly toward her.
She bit her tongue.
5) From Just One Day by Gayle Forman:
Willem holds my wrist for a long moment, looking at that birthmark. Then he lifts it to his mouth. And though his lips are soft and his kiss is gentle, it feels like a knife jamming into the electrical socket. It feels like the moment when I go live.
So what do you think, Mundie Moms? Did I miss out on any of your swoony moments?
