"Ouote this"-Calling all book aficionados

Books. It's hard for me to imagine a life without books. Truth be told, it's impossible. Books make me who I am. They are the building blocks of my mind-yes I know what atoms are-but have you ever heard the term food for the soul? That's what books are to me. They fill my soul and expand my mind. A living, breathing, essential part of my life. And since I have been on hiatus of reading for fun and just now got reconnected with that side of me I've decided to share some brilliant, 100% true quotes about reading as well as some of the books  I've been reading or meaning to read.

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” 
― Oscar Wilde(a pleasure that can't be matched)

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” 
― Jorge Luis Borges(that would be my dream paradise, too!)

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.” 
― Cicero(we would've gotten along :D)

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” 
― Neil GaimanCoraline(don't you ever forget it, bad people do exist,but so does karma ;)

Books I've been reading:

  1. Night by Elie Wiesel(Absolutely shocking and heart-wrenching, simplistically horrifying, loved it!)
  2. Fateful by Claudia Gray(Thrilling read with a touch of history and romance)
  3. Leviathan by Scott Westerfield(Steampunk WWI, gripping, weird, unusual, and funny!)  
Books I want to read:

  1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
  2. Fangirl/Eleanor & Park-Rainbow Rowell
  3. Hollow City-Ransom Riggs
  4. Wonder-R.J. Palacio
  5. The 5th Wave-Rick Yancey
