Hello! It’s Tuesday again, and time for another Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s topic was supposed to be Extraordinary Book Titles, but… I couldn’t really think of any. I can think of titles that I find boring as snot, but not really that many that jump out at me. So… since I started a book journal earlier this year and write down book quotes I love, I’ll feature some of my favorite book quotes! In April I did a Top Ten Tuesday topic called Book Quotes that Move Me, but I’ll include different quotes this week.
Top Ten Tuesday, as always, is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
It’s like you have this paintbrush, dipped in brilliant mauves and teals and golds, and you just totally redid my monochromatic life.
When Dimple Met Rishi, p. 377
I thought this was a beautiful quote.
Could death ever truly be honorable? It was always a loss, a period instead of a comma.
The Tiger at Midnight, p. 283
The thought of the end of someone’s life being a period at the end of one’s story struck me.
dreams can’t come true if you don’t have them.
Rebel, loc. 2163 (taken from the ARC)
I always love quotes about dreaming big and going for the big goals.
Great danger is always associated with great power. The difference between the great and the mediocre is that the great are willing to take that risk.
The Poppy War, p.320
I’m finding so many great quotes in my book journal that I could probably do several of these Top Ten Tuesday posts!
Evil never came dressed as a devil; evil came disguised as a dream, as tempting as the shiny red apples they’d once consumed.
The Evil Queen, loc. 59 (taken from the ARC).
The Evil Queen had quite a few great quotes in it.
I knew than that we were like two pieces of cloth, sewn together for life. Our stitches couldn’t be undone.
Spin the Dawn, loc. 4391 (taken from the ARC).
Reading this quote makes me get excited for Unravel the Dusk, which comes out next year!
The more I got to know people, the more I realized we were all just a bunch of frightened idiots walking around in the dark, bumping into each other and panicking for no reason at all.
A Very Large Expanse of Sea, p. 309
This book takes place after 9/11. A lot of people were antagonistic towards the protagonist, but at the same time, the main character did seem to keep people at a distance. She eventually learned to give people a chance.
I couldn’t very well free myself from my own nightmares by bringing Akos’s to life.
Carve the Mark, p. 455
They place the face of their enemy onto the face of their neighbor, and thus are generations of misery assured.
City of Ashes, p. 401
Some of the reasons why people choose to hate others are pretty silly.
How many boards would the Mongols board if the Mongol horde got bored?
This is How You Lose the Time War – p. 34 (taken from the ARC)
One of the characters traveled back to the time of the Mongols and taught them how to make lumber mills.
So that’s today’s Top Ten Tuesday. What book titles do you really like? Do you have a favorite book quote? Next week we’re going to talk about books I’d give different titles to. Maybe I’ll be able to think of book titles for that one. See you next week!
I love When Dimple Met Rishi! Not only is the title adorable, so is the story! Happy Tuesday! 😀

It’s a great story. If you haven’t had the chance to read There’s Something About Sweetie, you should. Next year, 10 Things I Hate About Pinkie (also in the Dimpleverse) comes out!
I love a Very Large Expanse of Sea, when I first saw it I was instantly intrigued! And book titles that start with “How To..” always catch my attention as well. Happy reading! 🙂

I wasn’t a big fan of the cover, but the book was good!
Great topic choice for this week! I love these quotes. That one from This Is How You Lose the Time War really had me chuckling 😅And that one from A Very Large Expanse of Sea is so incredibly relatable and rings so much truth. Great TTT!
My TTT post
Thank you. I think the Mongol quote is one of my favorites from that book.
Great list! I really want to cross The Poppy War off my TBR.

I still need to read The Poppy War sometime. 🙂
My TTT.

It’s a good book. Hopefully it won’t take too long. So many books, so little time though, right?
These are all great titles! Happy reading! 🙂
My Top Ten Tuesday!
You too!
I like the quote from When Dimple Met Rishi. Cute book, too. My TTT
I devoured that book. It’s great.
“Spin the Dawn” is on my shelf, but it’s not one I’ve read yet! It sure sounds interesting though, and the quote from ‘Dimple’ is lovely. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Brooke.

You have a great site. I really liked Spin the Dawn. It wasn’t really a sewing book, LOL, it was a beautiful adventure/love story.
I like the one from Rishi. 🙂
This is How You Lose Time War sounds super good s well!

It’s an interesting book. It might be up your alley.
I love all these beautiful quotes!!
Thank you!
The Tiger at Midnight Quote was just so good. So good. This is such a great take on the TTT, Brooke!
Thank you! It makes me look forward to The Archer at Dawn, thinking about it this week!
I love your spin on this topic! Quotes are more fun than titles, anyway. 😉 Love the quote from The Tiger at Midnight! The quote from A Very Large Expanse of Sea is also soooo true and poignant.
True but funny too. I’m glad you liked the quotes.
