I love words. I love books and I love quotes – all kinds of quotes. Silly quotes, fun quotes, quotes that pick you up when you’re a little flat, quotes that make you think.

Quotes by famous people. Quotes by a boy I once worked with’s grandma!

Quotes that inspire courageousness.

What is a quote really? Just a bunch of words you’ve heard uttered or read. But those words resonate with you – for whatever reason.

I love this quote because I love dogs and I love to read:

Outside a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read. (unknown)

I love this quote because it’s made up of ten two letter words yet means so much:

If it is to be, it is up to me! (unknown)

One of my favourite sources of quotes is Theodore Roosevelt – so many quotes, so little time!

I hope to pass my love of words and reading to bubba. I’ve been reading to her since I was five months pregnant so we’re off to a good start.

Our favoutite books so far are Guess How Much I Love You, Oh the Places You’ll Go and That’s the Way I Love You – I’ve read them so many times that I know them by heart!

I’m so looking forward to the day bubba starts reading along with me – and the day she realises I’ve missed a word.

Some of my best childhood memories are of being read to, sharing reading a book with my mum, or reading to my sister. I come from a family of book worms.

I’m a word nerd. And I’m okay with that!
