Welcome back to another Top 10 Tuesday weekly fun on my blog! Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. If you want to join in the fun, hop on over to their blog to see what it’s all about!
This week’s topic is Top 10 Quotes from Books I Loved This Year.
I’ve read more books this year alone then I ever have before, so it was a difficult choice to narrow it down to just 10 quotes from 10 books that I loved this year. I think I picked some really good ones and I hope you guys can relate to some of them!
10. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
“The thing I realize is, that it’s not what you take, it’s what you leave.”
9. Champion by Marie Lu
“It hurts every day, the absence of someone who was once there.”
8. Fault in Our Stars by John Green
“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world…but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”
7. Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
“Where there are villains, there will be heroes. Just wait. They will come.”
6. Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
5. Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
“It’s a hard concept to hold on to–the idea that there was a time before us. A time before time.
In the beginning there was nothing. And then there was everything.”
4. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
“And there’s nothing wrong with being a lizard either. Unless you were born to be a hawk.”
3. Red Rising by Pierce Brown
“We grew together, and now are grown. In her eyes, I see my heart. In her breath, I hear my soul. She is my land. She is my kin. My love.”
2. The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley by Shaun David Hutchinson
“Love’s more than holding hands and going to dances. It’s two people who struggle to live, even when they should maybe both be dead. When one of them would be better off dead.”
1. Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
“White shouldn’t be the default any more than straight should be the default. There shouldn’t even be a default.”

The Red Rising quote makes me feel all warm inside and is without a doubt one of my all time favourite quote. You can’t go wrong with John Green, there’s always a quotable moment to found in his books haha.

I like the snarky teenage writing style he embodies when writing his characters. He truly knows what he’s doing.

I love these quotes! I’m currently reading Res Rising and I loved that part when I read it! We used the same Simon quote, but that’s because it’s by far the best thing I’ve read in a book ever! Great list 🙂
