Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/ meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This weeks topic is one that I am super excited for, as like so many others, I adore book quotes with all my heart. Almost all of my favourite books have an endless number of tabs in them marking all of my favourite moments and quotes, so returning to them for this post was something I definitely didn’t mind doing.
So here are ten (plus a bonus one) of my favourite inspirational or thought-provoking book quotes!
‘The best books, they don’t talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you’d always thought about, but that you didn’t think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you’re a little bit less alone in the world. You’re part of this cosmic community of people who’ve thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be.’
WE ALL LOOKED UP BY TOMMY WALLACH
‘Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case.’

TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN BY JOHN GREEN

THE SERPENT KING BY JEFF ZENTNER

THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR BY NICOLA YOON
