November 17: Top Ten Quotes I Loved From Books I Read In The Past Year Or So

Okay, so I know it is Wednesday but I meant to post this yesterday and did not get time to finish up my list. I really like this week’s topic so, better late than never…

I love a good quote. I often share them on social media forums like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter as well as here on my blog. I find alot of great quotes over @ http://www.quotegarden.com/. Whenever I am reading a book and a quote stands out I tend to Tweet it or I will bookmark it to include with my review later.
