“Every morning, after a few sips of coffee and a bit of small talk, each of us retreats with our books, and travels centuries away from this place.”
― Yxta Maya Murray, The Conquest: A Beautifully Written Historical Fiction of Dual Timelines, an Aztec Princess, and the Enduring Power of Love

“A book must start somewhere. One brave letter must volunteer to go first, laying itself on the line in an act of faith, from which a word takes heart and follows, drawing a sentence into its wake. From there, a paragraph amasses, and soon a page, and the book is on its way, finding a voice, calling itself into being.”
― Ruth Ozeki, The Book of Form and Emptiness

“I love books where you can't get out of bed. You want to consume them in one sitting, devour them. Those are my favorites, where you've almost abandoned your life for them. That doesn't happen every time, but those are the best.”
― Rachel McAdams
