It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic is: Favorite Book Quotes I’ve Read this Year I love quotes! A good quote can really speak to you and stick with you through life. It’s so hard for me to pick favorites, though. So, to give myself less stress, I’ve decided to only include quotes from books I’ve read this year! So, here… Read More
Hello! It’s time for another Blogmas Book Quote! Today I’m sharing a lovely little quote from LM Montgomery’s short story, A Christmas Inspiration. It is one of the stories featured in A Vintage Christmas, and it has been one of my favorites from the entire collection that I’ve read so far. It is such a sweet story about giving and thinking of others, especially about those who often feel forgotten, and it just warmed… Read More
Hello everyone! Today I’m back with another Blogmas Book Quote! Today’s quote comes from The Gift by Cecelia Ahern. This quote may be short, but to me, with Christmas only one week away, I feel like this quote is an especially prevalent reminder of just how precious this time of year can be. “Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning. Time can’t be given. But it can be… Read More
Hey everyone! One of my favorite Blogmas series I do on my blog is Blogmas Book Quotes, where I share a Christmas-y themed book quote, and it is back! I did this last December and I also did did something similar in October, except they were all fall/Halloween themed. I just love looking for festive quotes! I always get in such a Christmas-y mood when I read them. Today’s quote is not… Read More
It’s time for another Blogtober Book Quote! Today I’m back with another Ray Bradbury quote, but this time it’s from his widely famous novel, Fahrenheit 451! I absolutely love this book, and this particular quote describes the atmosphere of autumn so incredibly well. The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion… Read More
It’s time for another Blogtober Book Quote! Today’s quote comes from one of my October TBR picks, and that is The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury! I love how descriptive and atmospheric this quote is. It just feels so much like Halloween! Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows’ Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black… Read More
Hello! Today I am back with another Blogtober Book Quote. Today I’m sharing Robert Frost’s iconic poem, The Road Not Taken. There’s just something about this poem that I have always appreciated it. While I realize this poem isn’t super seasonal, it just reminds me of autumn so much. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down… Read More
Hey everyone! In honor of Blogtober and Blogoween, I’ve decided to do a little feature on my blog that I’m calling Blogtober Book Quotes. It’s very similar to what I did during Blogmas except, instead of Christmas quotes (obviously, lol), I’ll be sharing quotes that remind me of autumn and Halloween. Today, I’m starting things off with such a classic, October quote from one of my favorite books, Anne of Green Gables! October was… Read More
It’s Top Ten Tuesday again! It’s a weekly bookish list hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week’s topic is: Valentine’s Day Freebie Because it’s so close to Valentine’s Day, this week’s topic was anything Valentine’s Day/love related. I really loved Jana’s take with this week, and so I decided to follow her lead, and share with you all some of my favorite, romantic quotes from some of my favorite books and characters. Also,… Read More
