That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.

The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade.

Of all reviews, the crushing review is the most popular, as being the most readable.

I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours.

It was the fangirl code for every book geek: read, chat, squeal. Re-read, chat, and squeal again, until it’s all over and the dreaded book funk sets in. Find the next best thing to fill the void, then repeat steps one through three as necessary.

People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.
