Shelf Awareness Quotes

“Here's the thing: the act of reading changes your life, sometimes in large ways, sometimes in small ways, but every book you read asks you to move outside of yourself and your own experience to consider the lives of others. So I can't identify a particular book that altered my life, but I do know that the act of reading has pushed me to engage more deeply with the world (real and imagined), and I'm grateful for that.”
― Ethan Rutherford

“We both know you can’t split a bookstore. (I don’t even share shelf space.)”
― Mary Jane Hathaway, The Pepper in the Gumbo
