Thursday Quotables #7 - A Monster Calls
An opening line like that has the same effect on me as: "You had me at hello".....
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness is one of those Russian-doll books. A gift within a gift that leads to yet another gift. So I just have to share it on Thursday Quotables hosted by Bookshelf Fantasies. This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage during your past reading week. Whether it's something funny, startling, gut-wrenching or just really written beautifully - this is where you must share! Just remember to link back to bookshelffantasies.com

Have you read A Monster Calls or watched the movie?

ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! Movie was really great yes. Loved the way they handled the stories the Monster told.
