Happy Reading!
Very true, all of them, but I love the one by Agatha Christie.
ReplyDeleteKind regards,
That's my favorite, too.
DeleteThose are some great quotes! I keep a list of quotes from books but I'm not quite sure what to do with them....
ReplyDeleteSave them up for a post! (Then the rest of us can enjoy them, too.)
DeleteScary books always scare me thoroughly...I remember Bloody Mary stories told to me by older kids when I was little, and they sufficiently scared me to remember them even now. Glad this book gave you some Halloween chills.
ReplyDeleteOops, I meant to leave this comment for Your review above. As for the quotes, the one which speaks to me most is about not trying to be two things at once (in reference to the chess pieces).
DeleteThat's a great quote isn't it? And thanks for both your comments. :) I've never forgotten the Bloody Mary story either.
