Thanks Michelle, what a wonderful quote. It's so true too, I can't think of a single book that I haven't read extremely recently where I can remember a specific sentence.
Where do you find all these great quotes, Michelle?

ReplyDeleteOoo, that's a good one! And so true--it's the story that holds the reader's interest, not the words.
