Quote of the Day
“Wishes. Before today, Keeper had made plenty of wishes, like wishes on falling stars and wishes on rainbows and wishes on wishbones, all kinds of small wishes, like for Hershey’s Kisses with almonds and tie-dyed shoelaces. But now she needed a big wish, a giant wish.” –KEEPER by Kathi Appelt

Quote of the Day
“All of us worry about what other people think, even if we do not have to. It was easy to tell somebody to ignore that sort of thing; it was much harder to put such advice into practice.” –THE GREAT CAKE MYSTERY by Alexander McCall Smith

Quote of the Day
“Rummaging in the compartments of her school bag, she found two coins, one gold and one silver. Although the gold one was bigger, and worth more, Tuesday felt certain that it was the silver one she should use. Wishes were silvery things. Maybe because wishes rhymed with fishes.” –FINDING SERENDIPITY by Angelica Banks

Quote of the Day
“That Granny Torrelli. Me, I always want to do things for Bailey because he can’t see, things I think are too hard for him, like cracking the eggs.

Quote of the Day
“For somebody like me, growing up in a basketball-loving family in a basketball-crazed town, you’d think I’d be screeching around the gym, too. You’d think I’d be rebounding every shot and sinking three-pointers from the lobby. You’d think.” –AIRBALL: MY LIFE IN BRIEFS by L.D. Harkrader

Quote of the Day
"Something was still missing. Controlling the plane, Nashville couldn't help but feel what a conductor must feel using a baton to direct a symphony. But Nashville didn't want to conduct the music. Nashville wanted to be the music. He wanted to tap-dance across the notes of the page, to visit each black circle on the sheet music like a hummingbird visits each flower. He wanted to fly."

Quote of the Day – The Magic Misfits

Quote of the Day
"Magic can mean different things to different people. For some, it is pulling a rabbit from a top hat or sawing a person in half and then (hopefully) putting them back together again. For others, magic is a crisp autumn's day or a tender hug from a loved one. For me, magic can be a story, a game, a puzzle, or a surprise that takes my breath away in a single, furious gulp." —THE MAGIC MISFITS by Neil Patrick Harris

Quote of the Day
"Jonathan twirled the combination to his locker, his stomach in knots. He still didn't feel ready to be a spy. As a matter of fact, he didn't even feel ready to read a spy novel. And yet, he was seconds away from receiving his first mission." —THE LEAGUE OF UNEXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN by Gitty Daneshvari
