Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Quotes!
This is simple:...
This is simple: You can post book quotes (do not include tags), and anyone who wants to can take a guess at what book (or series) it's from! For imaginary bonus points, also guess who said it!
I think this was done a while ago, but I'm not entirely sure. And if it was, I didn't participate, so this might not be the same thing anyway. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I've got several quotes to start us off:
1. "You are not much of a warrior, are you, Finian?"
2. "Lord Hunkyhair LIVES!"
3. "I am a DeWinter! We do not froth!"
4. "Sisters and brothers, loyal for life, tethered for always, true as a knife"
5. "He's just this lizard I know."
6. "...And I'll be the wham-bam-shove-a-pineapple-up-his-snout dragon!"
7. "The time is closer than you think."
Have fun!

Wait I just realized is number five from Explorer Academy??? It's sounded familiar but I haven't been able to place it.

How about these?-
1. "She knew! Love. That was what she had that IT did not have."
2. ""Our dog? No why? Does your dog talk?""
3. ""Mom, speaking on behalf of every woman who has ever lived in the Otherworld, you cannot turn down the offer to have an actual fairy-tale wedding!""
4. There she was, eleven years old, building a sand castle on the beach. But it wasn't an imaginary castle, like she'd thought it was at the time. She recognized that castle. She'd been inside it this afternoon.
5. ""I don't get to say good bye, or tell them where I'm going. I just...disappear.""

Is number three for The Land of Stories? I think it is later in the series, maybe the third to last, but I am not sure.
(April 11, 2021 - 12:37 pm)
Yes, its from the second book of Land of Stories. Haven't read them all but I'm trying to.
(April 11, 2021 - 12:44 pm)
#1 is from A Wrinkle in Time I believe.
(April 11, 2021 - 2:42 pm)
Yes, correct

"This is why you should go to college, kids--so when you grow up you do not have to take a job as a magical goat."

Magnus Chase!! This was the first book right?
(April 24, 2021 - 6:42 pm)
Yep! It might actually be the second book, though. I don't remember.

Gonna top this with another quote...
"The earth spins at a thousand miles per hour. Sometimes when I remember this, it's all I can do to stay upright. Because, gravity? Oh, gravity is no match for a force that equals ten simultaneous hurricanes. No, if we aren't all flung off the earth, it must be because people are connected somehow. I like to imagine the ties between us as strands of spider silk: practically invisible, maybe, but strong as steel. I figure the trick is to spin out enough of them to weave ourselves into a net."
That isn't the whole quote but it was really long already so I had to cut stuff out.

Ooh I've got another one!
"'Oh no, popcorn! Our fatal weakness!'"
(April 24, 2021 - 1:19 pm)
This is from one of the HoO books, right? The one where they fight Nike?
(May 2, 2021 - 8:46 am)
