I didn't read Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins until November of last year (I know, what?!) but when I finally did, I fell completely in love with Cricket Bell and his quirky self. I feel like he is the definition of "boy next door," literally and figuratively, and there's so much about him that goes unnoticed, but seeing Lola proclaim this got me all warm and fuzzy.
It reminds me a bit of the line from Looking for Alaska by John Green, "... if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane," which I also love.
Speaking of John Green, this quote from The Fault in Our Stars was one that filled my heart the moment I read it. I love the relationship between Augustus and Isaac which, to be honest, I didn't realize until I watched the adaptation in theaters.
Are there any memorable quotes you love from books you've read?
I'd love to hear them—maybe it'll be a reason to start something new!
If you missed my introduction post, here it is! I'll be back tomorrow with two other challenges, so feel free to leave your links in the comments below :)
I love Hazel's voice in TFiOS because it gives us great quotes about love with a little quirkiness too! Cricket is my book boyfriend, I love him.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorites from The Fault in Our Stars. So touching!
ReplyDeleteOH BOY, AMARIS. LOVE THE LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR QUOTE BECAUSE THAT BOOK IS MY FAVEEEEE PERKINS BOOK. LOLA + CRICKET = 5EVERRRRRR.
ReplyDeleteThat quote from TFiOS was heartbreaking! It makes me cry!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Lola & TBND yet! But I really want to get to it - I loved Anna & TFK! That quote is really nice!!
ReplyDeleteSML for that Lola quote! I totally need to reread that book! Lovely graphics too, Amaris!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty graphics :) Especially the first one, I keep looking at it. That last quote gave me shivers. Such a powerful sentence.

Your quote graphics are GORGEOUS! I especially love the one for Lola and the Boy Next Door. Because let's face it, any quote that features space, stars or galaxies is instantly going to stand out to me. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be so much love for Cricket Bell in the Love-a-Thon posts and I haven't actually read any of Stephanie Perkins' books! BUT I DEFINITELY WILL SOMEDAY. I love the graphics you made. The first one is especially so pretty! <3 And yeah, I love the second quote a lot.

ReplyDeleteHi Katherine! Do you have a favorite quote from The Fault in Our Stars? :)
ReplyDeleteYes ... watching the movie and hearing Isaac say that made me tear up!
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES I really do love Lola and Cricket together. I can't decide if I love Anna and the French Kiss or Lola and the Boy Next Door! I love Paris as a setting, but the relationship between Lola and Cricket is hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about it again makes me sad, but it really is a sweet thing to say!
ReplyDeleteAHHHH Kiah, you need to read Lola and the Boy Next Door when you have the time to! If you loved Anna and the French Kiss, I think you'll love Lola :)
ReplyDeleteDid you read it during all the hype? I find that I don't enjoy a book as much as I could have if I hear people go on and on about how great it is. And Wendy, you haven't read any of Stephanie Perkins' books yet?! YOU MUST SOON!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hazel! I'm thinking a re-read of Lola and the Boy Next Door is necessary for me too :p
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mel! Reading Issac saying that in his speech to Augustus made me so sad :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alexa! I feel the same way about space-related things!
ReplyDeleteYes, Cricket Bell is a boy that will always be loved! AHHHHH CYNTHIA. YOU MUST READ A STEPHANIE PERKINS BOOK!
ReplyDeleteI am one of those in the minority that didn't really like TFiOS... but that's ok! Also I still need to read stephanie perkins!!!
ReplyDeleteOH BOY, AMARIS. LOVE THE LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR QUOTE BECAUSE THAT BOOK IS MY FAVEEEEE PERKINS BOOK. LOLA + CRICKET = 5EVERRRRRR.
