Quotes From My Favourite Reads

Quotes From My Favourite Reads

September 29, 2020 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

This week I’m sharing quotes from my favourite books. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I love finding quotes that I love, especially when they come from some of my favourite books. So today I’m sharing that some of my favourite quotes, from some of my favourite books. I tried to do a mix match of older and new books. As well as books that I have read over different years. Enough of this let’s get into it. 

You’re too precious to put into words. I think … it’s like one of Theodore’s buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: You all know that I adore this book, and I could include multiple if not the whole book as some of my favourite quotes. It’s simply perfect. I just love this quote so much though. It just makes me smile. Full Review 

When has anyone ever told me I had the right to stop it all
without my knuckles, or my anger, with just some simple words.

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo: This book is simply amazing. I listen to it on audio and went into a trance. The power behind each word, each thought hits you in the guys. It’s such an incredible read. Full Review 

You ever consider that maybe you not supposed to ‘fit’? People who make history rarely do.

Dear Martin (Dear Martin #1) by Nic Stone: An emotional read, but it’s also powerful and beautiful. Justyce was such a fantastic protagonist. He felt real and honest and that made for such an incredible read. Full Review.

Moments. Just moments, one after the other. You only have to hold it together for one moment at a time.

This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield: This book made me feel so many things from anger to hope. From sadness to being proud. This poignant coming of age story that captures the lives of those that struggle day by day. 

There’s no end to my love for you. It’s woven into the very fabric of my soul so even when our bodies die, we’ll still never stop lovin

After the Fall (The Fallen Men #4) by Giana Darling: This book tore me to pieces, it’s an emotional rollercoaster that is for sure. There is so much hurt and heartbreak, the ending years me apart every time that I read it. But this quote sums up how much I adore the romances. Check out my interview with Giana Darling as part of my review Romance Thursdays series. 

We can either breathe through the pain or we can let it shape us.

The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros: I can’t think about this book and not be in pain. But it’s the pain that just makes you want to keep on reading. This has to be my favourite Rebecca Yarros book and it’s one that everyone should read. Full Review.

These pictures are my heart. And if my heart was a canvas, every square inch of it would be painted over with you.

Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices #1) by Cassandra Clare: Oh gosh this book and this series are just brilliant. At the moment they are my favourite of hers, but I won’t know until all the series are finished. There are so many amazing moments in this series, but this quote wraps it up nicely. 

I’m not short,” Daisy muttered. “Short women are never mysterious, or elegant, or pursued by handsome men. And they’re always treated like children. I refuse to be short.

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This right here is why I love Lisa Kleypas so much. I just love it so much, it’s funny and entertaining, but the romances are also fantastic and emotional. 

Someone else’s choice doesn’t change who you are.

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston: This is a book that I’m always recommending to customers. It’s that perfect gateway from young adult to new adult romance. That is also easy to find. I’m so excited to pick up her new book for sure. 

Those seconds, half seconds, that the line of our gaze connected, were the only moment in my day that I felt anything at all.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: This is a book that I still think about after finishing it. It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking read that tears me apart. But I could re-read it all the time. 

 

And that is it! Those are quotes from some of my favourite books! Do we share any that is the same? Have you read any of these books? Do you love quotes as much as I do? Let’s Chat!

    I seriously have to get around to reading The House in the Cerulean Sea. I’ve seen a few quotes from it today, and every single one has impacted my in a different way. It just seems like a brilliant book.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
