QUOTES ABOUT AND FROM BOOKS WE LOVE
Words are so important. Not just in the novels or stories we consume, but even just in our daily lives. It matters what words we use or make a part of our lives. The quotes I hear in film often stick with me, and while I know I’ve read some important quotes from the lines in pages of books, I don’t remember them in a long-lasting way. They stand out at the time and then seem to escape my memory bank. There are, iconic and memorable quotes though that stay with us, and so in a subject all about letters that make works which them make quotes, let’s see what memorable book (about and from) quotes we love come to mind.
QUOTES ABOUT AND FROM BOOKS WE LOVE. #BookQuotes #Quotes #Books #TopTenList #BookList Share on XTechnically, this was the subject last week, but we celebrated sports fiction to mark the end of the 2026 Winter Olympics, so this week it’s about quotes on the ‘genre freebie’ subject topic!

Linking Up with That Artsy Reader Girl March 3: Genre Freebie (Pick a genre and build a list around it. You could do historical fiction featuring strong female leads, contemporary romance set in foreign countries, mysteries starring unreliable narrators, lyrical fiction books in verse, historical romance featuring pirates, Gothic novels with birds on the cover, etc. There are so many options!) < this is the actual March 3 topic, but this week I’m using last week’s February 24 topic: Quotes From/About Books (Share book quotes you love, quotes about being a reader, etc.)
