Smooth Spines |
I am always reading a book. The moment I finish one, I decide what I’m reading next. So if you ever ask me what I’m reading, you would be hard pressed to find a time when my answer was “nothing at the moment.” Smooth spines that haven’t been creased or damaged are my favorite, and, dorky as it is, I love the smell of a new book. Crack open a book, crease the spine, and fold the front page over, and you might catch me squealing or crying a little. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me. I like my books well read, but with a perfect spine. Often, people ask me if I’ve read anything good lately, or what I’d recommend. So I'm going to share some of my favorite quotes from the books I'm reading, and hopefully you find some ideas for new books to read! |

Notes"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."From To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

Notes"I don’t know why I say it. Maybe because it’s harder to not say it—like trying to contain a thunderstorm in a mason jar. Maybe because I feel like I owe it to him, for driving us all the way out here, for being here and not expecting anything in return. Maybe because I want to touch his bruises and his scars and let him touch mine, the ones that aren’t on my skin."From Saving June, by Hannah Harrington

Notes"From pioneers setting out across the prairie to mustangs fleeing their Spanish masters, the most American thing about us is our itchy feet. We’re always itching to go, to move on, to escape. We convince ourselves we could truly be happy if only we were somewhere else."From Like Mandarin, by Kirsten Hubbard

Notes"And then time will pass, and the hole will be gone, like when an organ is removed and the body’s fluids flow into the space it leaves. Humans can’t tolerate emptiness for long."Divergent, by Veronica Roth

"I could feel the tears beginning to collect in my throat again, but I pushed them apart, away from each other. Tears are only a threat in groups."
