Top Ten Tuesday: And I Quote...

         

Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl that features a great bookish top ten every week.

This week is supposed to be a quote freebie and I'm not gonna lie I really didn't want to do it lol. BUT then I got a great idea. I like to try to put quotes from the books in my book reviews, so I thought why not post my top ten quotes I've posted in my book reviews? On goodreads I have about 30 saved, I'm assuming most of them I didn't put in myself I just found them on goodreads. So this will just be the top 10 of the ones I posted to goodreads myself.


“Some things are worth the danger, aren’t they? I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to dictate what I read or who my friends are. It gives me pleasure t know that I can thwart the Brotherhood in some small way.”
― Jessica Spotswood, Born Wicked


“After all, lies that make other people feel better must be kind of okay.”
― Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, Last Girl Lied To


“Have you ever been on a monster roller coaster? Ever rode it
five times in a row? That was what it felt like, as if my mind and body
were being whipped around and around in an unforgiving and
uncontrollable rhythm.”
― Nicky Peacock, The Assassin of Oz


“Quinn looked to the horizon as the cornstalks swayed with the breeze. The corn itself could have been waving hello, or it could have been breathing.”
― Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield


“I understand now. The three of you share a single iota of common sense. I'm just a little unclear on which one of you has custody of it now.”
― Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Lovely and the Lost


“I like them all more when they accept that without asking a lot of questions. If we click, I’ll tell them about my life, but I hate giving personal details for no other reason than to satisfy the curiosity of strangers. Any info I divulge should come by choice.”
― Ann Aguirre, Heartwood Box


“Well, I started Tae Kwon Do pretty early before moving into Muay Thai—” “What’s that?” “Muay Thai? It’s this Thai kickboxing style where you use your whole body to put force into kicks and strikes.” “Oh, like the way I eat pizza.”


“I finally get the point of all this. You let go and the music holds you up and you don't even have to think. You just feel.”
― Shivaun Plozza, Tin Heart


“Anyone who has actually been that sad can tell you that there's nothing beautiful or literary or mysterious about depression.”


“– I understand the world can be cruel place and there are people out there counting on naive kids like you to take advantage of. Don't just think because it's video games people can't get hurt.”
― Cory Doctorow, In Real Life

Weekly Wrap Up: May 15th-21st

                                        

 Weekly Wrap Up May 15th-21st

Getting back into the swing of things after being sick for a week. Finally got a lot of the house cleaned, at least the living room part. I bought some stuff needed for the home study and planned out my next few paychecks. I tried to put my two weeks notice in but he asked me to stay the Summer and I'm going to try. I joked that I went from trying to quit to getting keys to the store. Go me!
We have a new girl at work and between being sick and having a coworker I'm trying.. my reading life has seriously died. DIED. I read a school book to Finn and two graphic novels and that's all I could get through. Definitely not finishing my May TBR. But that's okay. 
Finn also got his yellow belt in Judo! He was so excited. I haven't ever seen him smile that big. He was so proud and I was so proud of him.

Finn learned about in school:
Finn learned all about Greek mythology this week. He especially loves reading about Medusa. He also drew the symbols for California, Colorado, Connecticut and Delaware.
