Top Ten Tuesday; Book Quotes About Books and/or Reading

It's Tuesday and time for a new Top Ten Tuesday post, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was books quotes that fit x theme, so I decided to find 10 book quotes about books and/or reading. Book lovers love bookish quotes, right?


“For as long as she could remember, she had thought that autumn air went well with books, that the two both somehow belonged with blankets, comfortable armchairs, and big cups of coffee or tea.”
(Katarina Bivald - The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend)

“People were strange like that. They could be completely uninterested in you, but the moment you picked up a book, you were the one being rude.”
(Katarina Bivald - The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend)

“There's always a person for every book. And a book for every person.”
(Katarina Bivald - The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend)

“Can you smell it? The scent of new books. Unread adventures. Friends you haven’t met yet, hours of magical escapism awaiting you.”
(Katarina Bivald - The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend)

“No book is dangerous in and of itself, you know. But historically, reading a book in the wrong way has led to terrible consequences.”
(Edgar Cantero - Meddling Kids)

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
(Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray)

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
(Jane Austen - Northanger Abbey)

“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”
(Roald Dahl - Matilda)

“All the reading she had done had given her a view of life that they had never seen.”
(Roald Dahl - Matilda)

“These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.”
(Roald Dahl - Matilda)

    I did book quotes, too. Mine are completely different from you, and I love that we both found lots of great ones.

    “All the reading she had done had given her a view of life that they had never seen.” I especially like this one.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
