Favorite Book Quotes
Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Favorite Book Quotes. This would be very boring if I just quoted the old standbys at you, so I am going to post quotes from my favorite books of 2020. Here goes.

"Sometimes I only pretend I don't know what to do, because I don't want to do it." Anne Bogel Don't Overthink It. - Ouch.
"Reading's ability to beam you up to a different world is a good part of the reason why people like me do it in the first place---because dollar for dollar, hour per hour, it's the most expedient way to get from our proscribed little "here" to an imagined, intriguing there". Part time machine, part Concorde, part ejector seat, books are our salvation." Sara Nelson So Many Books, So Little Time
“The older we were, the less magnificent we seemed.” Marie Lu The Kingdom of Back. - Ain't that the truth.

“How can you lose an entire person, only to gain a part of them back in someone entirely new?” Elizabeth Acevedo Clap When You Land
“you wouldn't let me
love both of us
at the same time” Rudy Francisco Helium
"Quand je vous ai dit que vous aviez une prédisposition surnaturelle aux catastrophes, ce n'était pas une invitation à me donner raison.”
