So it is time I got back to my blog and it’s a Tuesday so that means time for another Top Ten Tuesday. Today is all about bookish quotes, featuring some pictures of my bookshelf (which I adore)…
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Cicero
Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
Neil Gaiman
It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.
C.S. Lewis
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.
Walt Disney
A book is a dream you hold in your hands.
Neil Gaiman
To really be a nerd, she’d decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.
Rainbow Rowell
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C.S. Lewis
The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.
David Quammen
We read in bed because reading is halfway between life and dreaming, our own consciousness in someone else’s mind.”
Anna Quindlen
These are just a few of my favourite bookish quotes, what are yours?
Lots of love

Thank you so much 🙂
Great list! I loved all of these quotes. And you’ve obviously taken Quammen’s words to heart…since your bookshelf is full of hundreds of books!
