Quote of the Day – Feathers
“He belongs where he belongs. If he ended up here, then that’s where he belongs.”
–Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson
Quote of the Day – More Than Marmalade
Portobello Road had always been Michael’s favorite street to explore. The shops were on the lowest floor of the townhomes that lined the streets. The owners lived on the upper floors, and the fronts were painted in a rainbow of pastel colors. Sky-blue and sunny-yellow houses next to mint-green ones. A rosy-pink home might be next to a coral-orange house.
–More Than Marmalade by Rosanne Tolin
Quote of the Day – Withering-by-Sea
There was a picture of such a serpent in the margin. Stella studied it wistfully. It looked large enough to swallow an elephant, and had a hungry expression. A serpent of that size could easily swallow a person, an Aunt for example, as easily as kiss your hand. Several Aunts, probably. It looked sufficiently hungry.
–Withering-by-Sea, Judith Rossell
Quote of the Day – The Detective’s Assistant

–The Detective’s Assistant by Kate Hannigan
