Top 10 Reads of 2018
Here are my favorite reads of 2018. That doesn’t mean the books are contained to 2018 release dates but rather book I’ve read in 2018. Since I am a reviewer for the Historical Novel Society, the majority of my books are historical fiction, some of which I read before the official publication date.
Overall, I hope you’ll take away some new reads. I love to talk books, so let me get my book nerd Read more of this blog post »

“All of our lives were a story; their magic came in their retelling. Words could give life everlasting rebirth.
I would accept this challenge. I would use my breath to give life.”

“Does the scale of a mistake really matter? Are a rich man’s feelings more important than a poor woman’s? Or are one person’s feelings any less valuable than a group of peoples'?”

“And I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained with. I can't offer it the names of the US presidents in exchange for the names of my children. I can't give it the names of state capitals and keep the memories of my husband.
...My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today doesn't matter.”
― Still Alice

“You're so beautiful," said Alice. "I'm afraid of looking at you and not knowing who you are."
"I think that even if you don't know who I am someday, you'll still know that I love you."
"What if I see you, and I don't know that you're my daughter, and I don't know that you love me?"
"Then, I'll tell you that I do, and you'll believe me.”
