“It had happened to me too. It happens to most of us if we’re lucky enough. The fictional characters we love stamp their names on our hearts. They show us how to fight our battles, how to change, how to make it to page three hundred a different person than we were on page one.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Book Witch

“If you're afraid to read a book it's probably because you know it has something to say to you that you don't want to hear.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Book Witch

“You know what they say—love laughs at locksmiths.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Book Witch

“If you were a book, I would read every page of you in one sitting and then when it was over, I’d start back at page one and read you again. If our life together was a story, I’d want it to be a million pages long, a billion pages. I hope there are scenes in the book of our love that burn holes in the paper. I hope the happy chapters are the longest and the saddest chapters are barely a page. And I hope and pray that however our story ends, it ends with us together and the last word of the story of our life is ‘forever.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Book Witch
