Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
This might seem shallow of me, but it's rare that a single quote from a book sticks with me. I'm more of a "this book was so great, the entire story sticks with me" kind of reader. But there are a few passages from books that sometimes manage to stay with me for a very long time. Here are just a few of them:

ReplyDeleteI'm big on book quotes! If I'm reading a book and something that makes me pause, I mark that spot. It could be a quote or a paragraph that just really sticks out and makes an impact. I usually include those in my reviews, too. I either turn the corner up at the bottom, or use a small sticky note.
ReplyDeleteDo You Dog-ear?
I liked the Styxx quote!!

I have to admit that I find quotes in books, but never save them - or even if I do (like on the Kindle) I don't go back to them. But there are some I will always quote like things from Matilda by Roald Dahl or Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteThat Tolkien quote has always been lovely. And the And I Darken one makes me curious about the book. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that And I Darken Quote! And the one from Beautiful Creatures was really good too. :)
