Booklover's Diary

A Book Lover's Diary

My sister ordered this book for me for my birthday. I was so excited when I opened the package and found the wonderful pages to document my reading, copy favorite quotes, list books I loved as a child (and still do), keep track of books I want to read, and more. This simple organizer is lovely! It has numerous wonderful quotes about books and reading from various sources. I took several evenings to browse through it thoroughly. I still enjoy just looking at it. The paper is of a very high quality. The colors are minimal to prevent competition with the reader's entries. If you love reading, get your hands on this little gem to store all your favorite memories of books! (review by ILoveProvence on Amazon)

The Librarian's Book of Quotes

The Librarian's Book of Quotes

Most of the quotes are from librarians, about libraries, or from historic libraries. It is definitely not the traditional quote book, but it is perfect for library enthusiasts. Not a whole lot of quotes in this one, which is the only downside, but it hits the target market of librarians perfectly

A fabulous and entertaining compilation of quotations on and about libraries. Sayings that are drawn from an enormous roster of insightful individuals ranging from Ray Bradbury and William Shakespeare, to Carl Sagan and Victor Hugo, to Mark Twain and Bill Moyers. There are almost 300 pithy and memorable remarks that will provide very pleasant browsing for all library enthusiasts and supporters. "At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better." Barack Obama.

    Just about everyone in our family is an avid reader. I saw several wonderful gift ideas. I, myself, would love to have that little clip on lamp. Now that I think about it, my husband would probably like for me to have it too. lol
