Hey, it’s Rachel! This is my very first post and I’m so excited! Today I will be sharing my favorite quotes from books I have read and would totally recommend. These are the types of quotes you want to have painted onto your wall! Make sure you tell me your favorite quotes from book characters in the comments below. There are many that I love but, for now, I wanted to share my top three! 1. EVERLAND (BY WENDY SPINALE) QUOTE: “'I need to know you will be safe, promise me you’re not going to do anything dangerous,' he says quietly into my ear. Safe is a word I have not known in a long time.” The book that this quote comes from (Everland) is very unique. It’s a Peter Pan story, but it goes in another direction. The book starts off in England with a terrible disease, affecting everyone except children. Among those spared is a girl named Gwen and her siblings. Meanwhile, though Captain Hook is not in England and therefore safe from the disease, he's afraid that it will spread. Thinking that the cure may involve some of the English children who survived, Hook captures Gwen's sister and takes her away. Gwen is devastated. Later, she stumbles upon a mysterious boy known as Pete who offers to help Gwen find her sister. With Pete and his troop of lost boys by her side, will Gwen be able to get her sister and still cure the disease? This is one of my favorite quotes in the book--I just love how it instantly gives a little spark between Pete and Gwen. 2. ELLA ENCHANTED (BY GAIL CARSON LEVINE) QUOTE: “ I want to be with you forever and beyond.” If you love fantasy, magic, and adventure, then Ella Enchanted is for you! Based on the timeless story of Cinderella, this story starts with a baby girl. This baby, named Ella, was visited by a powerful fairy named Lucinda who makes it a custom to visit all the new baby and give them gifts like only fairies can. When Ella would not stop crying, Lucinda decided to give her the gift of obedience. Lucinda had meant this as a good gift, but it ended up being a very binding curse. A curse that forced Ella to obey any command given to her. As Ella grows up, she tries to fight back against the curse but is not successful. She must keep her gift a secret or else if someone commanded her to kill herself, she wouldn't be able to resist the strong magic. This book is full of action with the sweetest ending that will make you want to reread it! As far as the quote goes, it is one of my favorites. This is one that I really want this on my wall! It has such a magical feeling to it. PETER AND THE STARCACTHERS ( BY DAVE BARRY & RIDLEY PEARSON) QUOTE: “No reason to join a fight until you know what side you’re on.” This is yet another Peter Pan story that tells of how Peter Pan went from an orphan living in England to living in Neverland, a magical island, with the ability to fly. The action starts as orphan Peter his friends are about to be sent to serve King Zarboff, an evil leader. To get there, they have to journey on a ship called The Neverland for a month. On the ship, Peter meets a girl named Molly and finds out there is a chest aboard carrying a great mysterious treasure. But when the awful pirate Black Stache (now known as Captain Hook) finds out about the treasure, things go awry. NOTE: If you want a full summary, check out my friend Rose's post HERE. I love the quote is very true to the story, for there are many fights between the good and bad characters. I hope you enjoyed the quotes/summaries and I am looking forward to writing more!

Sorry to be late in getting to this. I liked the idea of picking out quotes to feature and found the ones chosen to be interesting, especially with the explanations. It might be interesting to try to put quotes into specific categories; for example, humorous quotes or quotes that help you to make better choices in life or philosophical choices or quotes that make you think differently about things. I'm sure that there are other and probably better categories.
