Favorite Quotes from our Book Chats Podcast!!

At our high school, we spend the last quarter of senior year either on an internship, or working on a project. We chose to work on a project last year, and thus Book Chats was born! We read around 13 books for our project, and decided to select some of our favorite quotes to share with you!!

Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary -“She was a girl who could not wait. Life was so interesting she had to find out what happened next.”

Smashie McPerter and the Mystery of Room 11 by N. Griffin--“[Hamsters] It’s like somebody stuck a chicken’s feet onto a mouse’s body.”

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott-“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick-“I blink back tears and remind myself sternly that my life is not a storybook. Not every tale had a happy ending. That’s just the way it is. People die, like Cassidy’s father did, and people leave us, like my mother did. It happened to the Alcott’s, and to Little Women ’s March family, too.”

Betsy and Joe by Maud Hart Lovelace-“The older I get the more mixed up life seems. When you're little, it's all so plain. It's all laid out like a game ready to play. You think you know exactly how it's going to go. But things happen...”

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sàenz- “My mother and father held hands. I wondered what that was like, to hold someone’s hand. I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone’s hand.”

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee-“You never understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie -“He spoke so effortlessly, as if his mouth were a musical instrument that just let sound out when touched, when opened.”

We highly suggest reading all of these books, and we hope that these quotes make you fall in love with these books just like we did!
