This week bloggers were charged to come up with their favorite book quotes. I decided to highlight quotes about the reading life. There’s little to say about the quotes — they speak for themselves. Let me know which you find fits your time spent with books.

Thanks for sharing your TTT! 🙂
I enjoyed these! I second wanting a day just for reading.

Loved these. I would so like an extra day for reading. I often go in my room to read to escape a TV show or a blaring podcast! I think a house filled with books is a real comfort!
That Lemony Snicket quote has been on a couple of different posts this week. Pretty cool.

Love the quote about adding an eighth day to the week. It definitely made me smile. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I love that you included a Lemony Snicket quote! Daniel Handler always has the most interesting things to say about books and reading, and he’s definitely not wrong about this either.
