Top Ten Tuesday #25: Quotes from Favorite Badass Bookish Heroines

Published on by Melanie (TBR and Beyond)

TTT

Hey guys! It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday, which is currently being run by the lovely Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl.  We knew instantly that we wanted to take part in this weekly meme because both of us love making list, so this is perfect!

This week’s (April 30th, 2019) topic is: Inspirational/Thought-Provoking Book Quotes.  I’m not really someone who cares much about this topic, so I changed it to Quotes from Favorite Badass Bookish Heroines.

Mirielle is on hiatus this for May due to unforeseen circumstances, so I’ll be doing this myself this month.   Let’s get this started!

  37. I’ve heard a lot about Wicked Saints but I haven’t decided if I should read it! These are great quotes and it reminded me a lot of why I like so many of the characters on this list!

  39. Wow these are awesome quotes. And the quote from A Court of Mist and Fury is so similar to that from Gone With the Wind. Maybe?
