It’s the end of 2020. A time to look back at the year that went by and talk about the good, the bad, the ugly. Good first – I began my book blog in August. It’s been four months since and I’m loving every bit of it. I’ve tried to cater to all kinds of readers here by publishing reviews, book lists, bookish posts, and quotes from popular books I’ve read. The bad – my blog’s audience has been growing everyday but at a snail’s pace. Wishing and hoping I do better in 2021. The ugly – the blog post writing. It takes forever to get a post done, reviews are easy, but other bookish posts take a hell of a lot of research, planning, design and writing.
Now that I look back I realize I’ve gathered quite a few posts about quotes from popular books. So here I’m going to summarize them for you. Link to them, categorize them and give you my personal favorites among each of them.

My favorite quote from To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee - “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash”.

Quotes from Popular Non-fiction Books
My favorite quote from Think and Grow Rich - "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is TIME. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by TIME. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate INDECISION!"
My favorite quote from becoming - “For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”
