    I LOVE these quotes!!! My favorite is the one about not always reading the books everyone is reading Some of my greatest reading experiences were found off the beaten path. Also, reading is most certainly like eating one potato chip. How could one truly stop after just one! LOL

    book quotes are my Instagram saviors in more than one way:

    (1) caption yes! 🙂

    (2) when I don’t know what to post and it has been a while since I posted and

    (3) when all the pictures I could post don’t look good in my “feed design” and I need a “black post” lol I know… I’m a ridiculous bookstagrammer 🙂

    GREAT POST! thank you for sharing all these quotes Gayathri!
