Quote Challenges – Favourite First Lines: Day 1

Hello all! It’s been a hot minute since I did one of these quote challenges and as many of you know I like to put a bit of a spin on each one. For this one, I’m gonna be talking about beginnings. A lot of books are love at first line- but these ones are lines that have a special place in my heart. So I thought it might be fun to use the opportunity to talk about some of my favourite first lines and what they mean to me.

Also, since I have a lot of favourite first lines, I thought it would be good to do one for each of the people that tagged me, so there will be more than the prescribed three posts. Here are the rules (that I’m going to ignore because I’m a rebel 😉 ):

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

Thank you so much to the lovely Journey into Books for tagging me to do this one- her blog is full of great reviews and she’s always doing a fresh take on weekly memes- definitely recommend checking her out!

I fell in love with this book when I was startled into laughter by this extraordinary first line. Such a perfect, perfect beginning for a quirky book about a family living in a dilapidated castle.

And that’s all for today- catch you tomorrow! 

Quotes Challenge- Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants Style: Day 1

Hello all! Happy Friday- I will admit, I’ve been really lazy today, for the very silly reason of having worked out a bit too much yesterday. My thoughts when I finished were something along these lines:

And my thoughts when I woke up today were:

So anyway, I love this challenge, it’s one of my absolute favourite tags- which is why I’m super grateful to have been tagged by these *A-M-A-Z-I-N-G* bloggers:

Quote Challenge- Shakespeare Style: Day 8

This is it! I’ve reached the last day of this! As many of you know, I’ve been doing this for a few extra days so that I can thank the people that tagged me. And in honour of 400 years of Shakespeare, I’m solely quoting Shakespeare.

Here are my (altered) rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you.
• Post a quote for three consecutive days however long it takes
• Nominate three new bloggers each day

Thank you so much to Embuhlee for tagging me to do this. She is absolutely one of my favourite bloggers out there- I adore her posts- she is so funny and entertaining to read! And she creates so many of her own tags and shares them around. I can’t recommend her enough!

And cos I’m expressing all this affection, I think I’d better end with one of the best quotes about love in the universe:

Hi all! So I’m coming to the end of my quote challenge! After this there will only be one more day and one last quote (*sobs*) so I better make these last two count.

• Thank the person who nominated you.

Thank you so much to Vivi Heart Books– the incredible blogger who tagged me to do this! Her blog is so much fun and I love hearing all her thoughts about books!! She’s great for book recommendations too!

3 Day Quote Challenge- Shakespeare Style: Day 2

Alrighty then- welcome to the second day of my (overlong) Shakespearean quote challenge! As people that read my post yesterday know, I’m doing the quote challenge thanking everybody that tagged me individually. Oh and it’s gonna be Shakespeare themed cos in case you don’t know I’m running Shakespeare Awards where you can vote for your favourite Shakespeare!

Here are my (altered) rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you.
• Post a quote for three consecutive days however long it takes

3 Day Quote Challenge- Shakespeare Style: Day 1

Hope you all enjoyed my post the other day- just to remind you the votes are still open for Shakespeare Awards- so if haven’t let me know your favourites you can still do so here. And since I’m still feeling the Shakespeare I figured it would be fun to do a Shakespeare-themed 3 day quote challenge!

I was tagged to do this so many times that I don’t just want to thank everyone in one big lump, so I’ve decided I’m going to thank everyone that tagged me one at a time. That means I won’t actually be done after three days- so here are my (amended) rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Post a Quote for 3 consecutive days however many days it takes
3. Nominate 3 bloggers each day

So firstly a huge thank you goes out to the awesome Bookmark Chronicles for tagging me to do this- I really enjoy her blog- particularly her awesome This or That section- I really recommend you check it out 🙂

And cos her posts are so fun, here’s a fun Macbeth quote:

Hope you enjoyed that and are getting in the mood for Shakespeare’s 400th Deathday (that’s still weird, isn’t it?)
