Hello all! Doing another quote today- and I’m particularly excited about today’s pick! Anyway, before we get to that, here are the rules:
Rules
- Thank the person who nominated you
- Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day)
- Nominate three new bloggers each day
(which I feel even more emboldened to break given I’ll be talking about the ultimate rule breaker)
Thank you so much to the awesome Reading for Sanity Mom– she writes great, thoughtful posts and reviews! It’s always lovely to see what she has to say!
Some people talk about how books have to capture the whole sense of the story in the first line- and what better example than this. Peter Pan is another of my favourite novels- and it’s no wonder it captured my imagination from that first, bold sentence. I think that’s the reason why I spent so much time as a child jumping off my bed, “practising” my flying technique 😉
I tag:
Sprinkle of Dreams, Zezee and Marie
So who else is inspired by this classic children’s story? Let me know in the comments!
I was hardcore obsessed with Peter Pan as a kid. I was 100% convinced he was going to show up and take me to Neverland one night. lol

When I first read Peter Pan, I was obsessed with it! I had absolutely convinced myself that I would go to Neverland. When it says grow up, I think it does not only mean physically and mentally but at heart. I always thought that if you remain a child at heart, Neverland never closes its doors for you.

Thanks for the tag/challenge.
I still need to read Peter Pan. My plan is to read it and then try Lost Boy, the Captain Hook novel.

This book used to scare me when I was growing up. I thought it was creepy Peter Pan would peer in people’s windows. And…that sentence is very alliterative. XD
