Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
We have landed on the last Tuesday of February. March is just around the corner. Hopefully, it brings spring with it. I'm done with snow for the season. At least the storm ended on Monday instead of making its way through this morning.
Monday, Feb 22
Top Ten Tuesday is asking us to share quotes from or about books. I've created numerous posts since 2016 about quotes coming from books, so I opted to share quotes about books, even if it is a character talking about reading.
Top Ten Quotes about Books & Reading
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
― Stephen King
“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” ― C.S. Lewis
“The odd thing about people who had many books was how they always wanted more.”
― Patricia A. McKillip
“Let's be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.”
― Lena Dunham
“It is a most wonderful comfort to sit alone beneath a lamp, book spread before you, and commune with someone from the past whom you have never met.”
― Yoshida Kenkō
― Matt Haig
“As I go to bed, I think how awful it would be to die in the middle of reading a good novel.” ― Valérie Perrin
Lastly, though this series is now up to 31 books with Ode to the Bones by Carolyn Haines coming in May, and another book due out in October, I've never read her Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries series. I am always open to trying a new book, even if I haven't read earlier titles.
“She was still clutching the book. She was holding desperately on to the words who had saved her life.” ― Markus Zusak

Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking About. TMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you can leave your comments in the weekly post when you participate. Check it out if you're interested in joining.
This week's Tell Me Something Tuesday asks: Which books are you looking forward to reading this Spring? (March-May). I might have posted something like this already, so I am going to focus solely on the cozy mystery genre.
Death Wasn't Invited by Carlene O'Connor is a new historical mystery series. I love historical mysteries, though I haven't read one lately. This book is due out in March.
In April, the second book in Lynn Cahoon's Bainbridge Island Mystery series, Confessions of an Amateur Sleuth, will release.
Lastly, though this series is now up to 31 books with Ode to the Bones by Carolyn Haines coming in May, and another book due out in October, I've never read her Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries series. I am always open to trying a new book, even if I haven't read earlier titles.
I have a meeting this morning, but I look forward to seeing what you shared on your blogs today.
