Anyone else love a good quote about books? What about ones straight from Young Adult books?

That’s me for sure! I love diving into Young Adult books and discovering that the protagonist, or maybe the antagonist, loves to read. Young Adult book quotes make my heart sing.

Those characters love nothing more than lounging on a sofa by the fire and soaking up the words on their own books, as I do mine. They’re the protags that rush to the library to find their answers (Hermione, I’m looking at you!), the ones who are the first to suggest looking for answers in leather-bound encyclopaedias or dusty books in the side room that nobody goes into anymore.

Books with book-loving characters are the best kind of books.

Here are 10 great book quotes from young adult novels and their authors. Let me know which ones your favourites are!
