These are some of my favourite quotes!

This is my all-time favourite book. I realise it is a best seller list book and all, and probably a bit stereotypical, but nonetheless, I love it. And, it’s going to be made into a movie. I am so excited, even if Brad Pitt is doing it! (Is that good or [...]
I had never read a Ted Dekker book before, but I have heard a lot of good things about him. I once picked one up, and thought he seemed a bit boring. However, this time, I zipped right through the book. (And I believe it’s a movie now, too!)
