Quotes About Books

I love the last quote... so true so true...
I love all of these quotes! Reading has always been a way for me to escape to another place. I often read before falling to sleep at night. It helps me relax.
I like the Arabic Proverb . . . that one rings most true to me. I read life changing books and then insist everyone else should read them . . . when I give them away I think, that was stupid!
I love that Toni Morrison quote! Wish I could write the book I want to read!
I love Anna Quindlen's quote. I have more books than I have shelves and that's the normal I want my kids to believe in.
My name is Selma Espinosa I'm a 46 years old mother with 3 adorable kids and I have been married for 17 years now. After the birth of our last daughter 2 years ago, I noticed something about my husband that was completely different. He comes home late every night, sleeps on the couch never in the bedroom with me and doesn't give attention to me or the kids. I remember the night he came home drunk and told me he was no longer attracted to me after I had kids.
I cried myself to sleep that night, I could not believe that the man I have loved all my life will someday stopped loving me. Just few days to our wedding anniversary, he stopped coming home and would not take my calls. I had to talk to a friend and she suggested I contact a spell caster who could help me bring back his love and attention. It was the first time I heard such stuff existed, I give it a try with high expectations. After my contact with the Priest spellcaster, he helped me cast a spell that made my husband return home to me and our kids. I know a lot of people need this to help them stay happy in their marriages. You can contact Priest Obongibok let him help you; write him on email OBONGIBOK@PRIEST.COM or WhatsApp +13612367973.
Thanks for taking the time to share this.
