Book Quote

Everytime I read a book and found something that I can relate to I scribble them on my notebook. I didn't realize that I have been doing this for years and saw the quotes I've written so I compiled them in one notebook and thought of sharing some of my favorite quote. "There has never been a time that reading is not my greatest joy" - Margaret Lea "The Thirteenth Tale" I can totally agree with that. "I am just an ordinary kid who loves reading books and listen to good music and didn't stand out in any way" - Watanabe "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami Most of the time I feel the same way, just an ordinary girl whose everyday never pass without having to read a few pages from the book she bought at the second hand store.
