TGIF #01



TGIF is a weekly feature hosted by Ginger at GReads. Each week, we re-cap the week's posts and answer a question.





THE QUESTION: What are some of your favorite book quotes?


"If our school ever performed a play about the French Revolution, she could play the guillotine."
     -- Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway


"A moment of reserve. "That was it? The whole story?"
"Yes. God, you're right. That was pants."
I sidestep another aggressive couscous vendor. "Pants?"
"Rubbish. Crap. Shite."
Pants. Oh heavens, that's cute."
     -- Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins


"You want to take me to a movie?" I asked.
"Well, not really," he said. "What I really want is for you to be my girlfriend. But I thought saying that might scare you off."
     -- What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen


"It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people.
She will not be simple and sweet. She will not be what people tell her to be."
     -- The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart


THIS WEEK AT STORYBOUND GIRL:

Reviews:
MY LIFE UNDECIDED by Jessica Brody
THE LIAR SOCIETY by Lisa & Laura Roecker

Plus a Cover Crush, In My Mailbox #01, Tune in Tuesday #01, Waiting on Wednesday #02, and thoughts on PRETTY LITTLE LIARS "It's Alive" (S02E01).

Does reading any of those quotes make anyone else want to re-read all of those books as much as me?!

    I love, love, love Frankie Landau-Banks. Now if I could just figure out how to get my students to read it. Any suggestions?

    Love your blog, new follower here!
