The quote of today comes from…
The Winner’s Curse, by Marie Rutkoski
OOOPH! Hello! The ‘ooph’ is there because I’ve just landed. For several days I was floating in a cloud of blissful ignorance, and dropping back to reality was a bit of a shock. I completely forgot that I had not yet written my introduction post to the Fanboy Book Club-I’ve been a terrible member so far. (Sorry Bianca!) Also, there are 12 books I read from the last couple of months that I’d like to review, but that number alone overwhelms me! I was going to do a bunch of mini reviews…and I obviously haven’t yet. Mini reviews may prove to be a challenge-if you’ve read my reviews, you know I kind of go all in and they can end up quite long. Challenges are good though! (Or so I tell myself, before starting aforementioned task.)
Hello readers! I apologize for not posting this yesterday-I really need to schedule more posts. I’m also in a bit of a reading slump right now, so it was harder to find a quote for this week. BUT, I am here now, armed with a quote. So enjoy!
This week I was reading…
How to Save a Life, by Sara Zarr
Hello everyone! (Sorry for kind of neglecting you for…a long time. Bad manners on my part.) However, I now return to you with another Thursday Quotables. What do you think I should do if I continue with this feature and eventually have to be like Thursday Quotables (the thirty-fourth)? Maybe it’s just me, but thirty-fourth seems to be a bit of a mouthful.
Thursday Quotables is a weekly feature by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies. (Rules of participation are located on her blog, if you’d like to do your own Thursday Quotables post.) Basically, this feature is for any line or passage you read during the week that you really liked. It could be thoughtful, or funny, or beautifully written.
Sidenote: I may actually make this a biweekly feature here, as that seems t0 be the pattern I naturally fall into.
The quotes this week come from…
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Top Ten Tuesdays is an original meme created by The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s theme is 2016 resolutions. Well, I was going to do a 2015 recap + my 2016 resolutions, but it’s extremely late. Plus, once I started drafting my 2015 post, I realized that it was going to end up quite lengthy. So I’m just going to finish my resolutions, get a couple hours of sleep, and then complete my (overdue) recap. Without further ado, I present my top 10 bookish & bloggish resolutions for 2016.
Thursday Quotables is a weekly feature from Bookshelf Fantasies, and you should go check out Lisa’s blog immediately. *stares at you from internet to make you feel guilty as you read this* Now that you’re back, we can proceed. This week’s quote comes from…
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater Continue reading
Perusing my WordPress reader this morning, I came across a post from Victoria at Addlepates and Book Nerds titled Thursday Quotables. This concept is perfect for me! I usually have an awesome quote from something I’m currently reading, but I hardly ever remember to write it down before the book needs to be returned to the library. Blogging about it weekly should help me to keep track of my favorite quotes. I’m going to bend the rules a bit and do four quotes, because Stargirl has so many beautiful lines.
