Top Ten Tuesday: Quotes I Loved From Books I Read In The Past Year Or So


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.  I am quite particular about my quotes.  I hoard words and prefer to keep them close to my heart.  The quotes I choose don't always come from books and especially not from this year alone.  But here are the ones I could manage:


1.  All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr




2.  Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater


3.  Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman


4.  1984 by George Orwell


5.  A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

    Love three and four. A good writer uses words in a way that I think is harder than a painter chosing colors

      Well, there ARE more words than colors... It doesn't surprise me that you like the Neil Gaiman and George Orwell quotes the best! :)

    Erin I am still in hysterics about your new blog design omg so pretty! Ah, I love quotes. My problem is though that I read a quote I really like and then I forget it. I always say to myself that I will write them down one day but it hasn't happened yet XD. I haven't read any of the books you mentioned but I know that I really have to. Quote number three is my favourite, I think. Are fictions safe places? Should they be? That is going to be going around in my head for at least I week now! As a fellow hoarder of words I am interested to know - do you store your words on shelves in a Beauty and the Beast style library or are they kept in a massive pile like Smaug's treasure in The Hobbit? <3

      I am too and I am so glad you like it! And the quotes, too. I like adding the quotes on Goodreads and/or Pinterest so that I don't misplace them. And you really should read the books, but I couldn't tell you which one to start with! Although any Neil Gaiman, including Trigger Warning, is a good choice! (And I really don't think fictions should be safe places). And I do TRY to store my words on shelves, but they always seem to get EVERYWHERE... XD Thanks for commenting, Rebekah!

    wonderful quotes, i always find it the hardest picking these from the book, but your choices really capture the book

      I'm so excited for you to read All the Light We Cannot See! It is one of the best books I have read this year so far. Thanks for commenting! XD
