This past April, I was one of the lucky library staff members who attended the Alberta Library Conference in Jasper. While there, I picked up a Book Lust Journal and I love it. I use it to keep track of the books I'm reading and include information like title, author, number of pages and sometimes plot. When I come across a really good quote, I write it down. Did I really love (or hate) a character? I note that as well.
I've come across some great books this year which have all been written down in my book journal. For this month's spotlight I've decided to share my favorite quotes from some of my favorite books. I hope at least one of these quotes piques your attention enough that you read the book.
