This weekly frenzy of lists is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
I know that I have read lots of inspiring quotes in my life. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people who writes them down or highlights them in the book. So instead, I thought I would share ten of my favorite quotes about books. Let them inspire you to read more. :)

I love the Anna Quindlen quote about bookshelves! That's very true for me. :)

Great quotes! I never used to write quotes down either, but I've just recently decided I should start -- it'll take some getting used to, but I think I'll be glad to have some sort of a record from books I've read and passages that have struck me (especially since I'm reviewing books a lot less lately!)

It would be nice to have a record of memorable passages. I've just never had the patience to stop reading long enough to write them down. :) I hope it works well for you!

I love all the quotes you shared, every one of them. I also really liked the arrangement of them too with the slideshow.

Thanks, Jade. I had a lot of fun creating the slideshow (and probably spent way too much time doing it, too...). But the fun is what matters! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
