Oh yesss that book is so good. I really should get around to reading the third and fourth books of the series…

I got the Giver quartet for Christmas and am in the middle of Messenger already – it's so good, you really should read it. It's almost like a continuation of Kira's story from a different POV, which I think Gathering Blue definitely needed – to me, its ending seemed oddly unresolved.

This is one of my favorite quotes. It might be a little off. It's from the Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien."The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and although in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." -HaldirI think this is very beautiful and kinda sad. -
Here are some more of my good book quotes:Peter did not feel very brave; indeed, he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do. – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by: C.S. Lewis"I wish it need not have happened iin my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." –The Fellowship of the Ring by: J.R.R. Tolkien."Books teach you things you don't know yourself. They let you feel things. Every time you read a book with a hero in it, you become that hero." – Jamie Alexander, Timestoppers: Quest for the golden arrow by: Carrie Jones"I know what it's like not to have friends. People need friends. Life's not much fun without them."-Tanya Fairchild, One Wish by: Michelle HarrisonThe King, who was the wisest man in the kingdom, knew well there was a time when things must be done and questions left till afterwards. – The Princess and the goblin by: George MacDonaldSometimes Piper would scream at them to leave, and they would, and other times she'd sit there and pretend she couldn't see them, but they carried on as though she were treating them well, because that's what friends do: they see you at your worst and keep being your friend anyway. –The Girl and the Witch's Garden by: Erin BowmanI looked around the room. Why couldn't we all do noble things, important things? Why couldn't we? Why couldn't I? –One Time by: Sharon CreechToo late, she realized she had spent her life wishing for bigger things, for what could be bigger than family? Than love, and being loved? What use was advnture with no one to share in it? –A Pinch of Magic by: Michelle Harrison -
