Top Ten Tuesday March 6: favourite book quotes

Learn more about Top Ten Tuesday here! This week is favourite book quotes. This one was harder than I thought because 80% of the highlights on my Kindle are words I don’t know, and I’m really bad about writing down quotes I like. Some of these are social justice-y (shocker) and some are just because I like them.

Also, today I turn 22!!! so I’ve been singing Taylor Swift all day, of course.
