I say," began Piglet, "don't you think goodreads could do something about quote verification, what with that Kindle plugin and all? Most of these quotes are balderdash, and they're being repeated everywhere. ~ A.A. Milne

Avid readers are the most authentic creatures on the face of the earth, and their hearts and minds are not for sale at any price. "Mysteries for the Inspired Traveler" Goodreads blog ~ Kopman-Owens

Call me cynical, call me cold-hearted, but I don't believe in just knowing and love at first sight. I just don't believe that's love. Love is knowing someone's flaws, habits and pet peeves; having to deal with their grumbling after a bad day; the weird quirks that only surface after several months of being together; living with their morning breath and farts. It's not that gushy, obsessive, in-the-moment feeling. That's a crush. And sure, they can hurt, but you'll get over them. It's not destiny. ~ Emily May

At your next book club meeting, picture me sitting quietly in the corner, taking notes on your preferences. Imagine the next day you get an email from me trying to sell you a new grill - or a book - or accessories for your Glock. That's the Amazon/Goodreads deal. It's appalling. But everywhere in the press, you'll read about the genius of Amazon.
(Michael Herrmann and the booksellers of Gibson's) ~ G.R. Reader

MY ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS BECAUSE WHILE I STAND STILL MY VIBRATIONS STILL MOVE YOU ~ Qwana Reynolds-Frasier

If people wrote their reviews on paper and put them into a real, physical library, I am sure that the Goodreads administrators would be very reluctant to pull them down from shelves and burn them. When you can get rid of a piece of writing just by clicking on a few links, there's a temptation to believe that it's less serious. But it isn't. It's just less clear what you've done. ~ G.R. Reader

Plot comes from the mind but the characters come from the heart! ~ Varsha Dixit

Ruthy's got the curves of the Scalextric he had once gotten for Christmas. ~ Jonathan Dunne

I ate a lot of candy and engaged in light stalking: I prowled Blythe's Instagram and Twitter, I read her reviews, considered photos of her baked goods and watched from a distance as she got on her soapbox – at one point bragging she was the only person she knew who used her real name and profession online. As my fascination mounted, and my self-loathing deepened, I reminded myself that there are worse things than rabid bloggers (cancer, for instance) and that people suffer greater degradations than becoming writers. But still, I wanted to respond. ~ Kathleen Hale

Thank you. This kimono was handmade by the Chinese silkworms themselves, I'm led to believe. ~ Jonathan Dunne

Prayer wasn't a familiar practice in my life. --Titus Ray, Chapter 2 ~ Luana Ehrlich

Good guys are fucking AMAZING. ~ Ermisenda Alvarez (Goodreads Author)

Happiness is; knowing that Goodreads isn't blocked from my work IT system. ~ Mel Morton

In our personal spaces, where there are no eyes to guide our better nature caressing our intentions, we sometimes gnaw in the agonizing realization that, although we charitably took on the rough task with smiling faces, our condescension has produced our worst nightmare. For a new work has triggered our insecure buttons, birthing the fear that the author may flow past our selfish desires, and find their way into the ocean of our faith, leaving us alone and desperate. And so we must, with the extremest prejudice, bomb their potential future by damming all of our congratulations. Rendering Goodreads a stale pond of green algae and used condoms. But do we not know that this same pond we all must drink from? Instead of filing another dead weight upon our self-deprecation, we should condescend to our own little devils, transforming them into loving companions with our guidance, so they may sprout wings in our charity, by praising this new work loudly to all of our friends and acquaintances. Instead of a dam, we can fashion a fountain of ascension, whose poetic mead, we may all get drunk on. Then, one day, those that we have assisted, we may one day find them returning us the favor by building us a fountain. That's my opinion on the subject anyway. This has been an exercise in poetic articulation. Signing off. ~ Sun Moon

Why can't people just be happy and live? ~ Jonathan Dunne

Hell (and Goodreads) hath no fury like a HEA reader scorned. ~ Todd Rainbow Warrior

No, I have never had a problem finding books to read. But I have had a problem finding people who understand what it's like to really LOVE reading. Maybe even need it. People who associate periods of their life with the kinds of things they were reading then, whether in school or in dusty old rooms of a house in Holland. The kind of people who take personal journeys into books and write responses that are part review, part stories in themselves. This is what Goodreads has always given me. ~ G.R. Reader

When you first approached me, all I could think was that life didn't work that way. The most beautiful boy in the universe doesn't come knocking on the grisly recluse's door. If I wrote that plot, I'd be laughed off Goodreads. ~ Eli Easton

So how do you know she was a mermaid if you didn't see her bottom half? ~ Jonathan Dunne

Time will always have the answer in the end, whether you like that answer is immaterial to Time because it tends not to keep friends. ~ Jonathan Dunne

This is a forum for readers. Authors walk these halls at their own risk. I've been to the Coliseum in Rome. GR is just that. Books are gladiators. Readers are ravenous citizens awaiting their next bite of entertainment, all Caesars with thumbs readied for judgement. Even champions fall prey to sword now and then. And you know what they say about the pen and the sword…the analogy is a bit muddled, but it's in there somewhere. ~ Willow Madison

Cleverness in itself is useless. It's like a peacock's feathers – an extravagant display used by those who crave attention.
The mind's worth is revealed when clever solves real problems. ~ Sola Kosoko

I wanted to send my deepest gratitude to all the ladies here on Goodreads who have given my books a chance! Your time and support mean the world to me.
Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed them!

Adele ~ Adele Hart

Some words were made up without any thought given. Nice is one of them. Nice has no meaning. Nice gets thrown out there to replace something meaningful. Take Goodreads and turn it into Nicereads. This goes to show that nice provides no justice. ~ J.R. Rim

If mysterious means a bunch of freaks being brought together by a freak car-accident, then, yes, God does vork in mysterious vays' declared the eldest Russian Doll. ~ Jonathan Dunne
