Quotables: From The Day Before by Lisa Schroeder

{found here}

Many times

when I read a book, 

I want to savor

each word, 

each phrase,

each page,

loving the prose

so much, 

I don't want it

to end.

Other times

the story pulls me in,

and I can hardly

read fast enough

the details flying by,

some of them lost

because all that matters

is making sure

the character

is all right

when it's over.

This day

is like the best

of both kinds

of books.

I want to cherish

each moment and yet,

I've got to know

that this character

named Cade

will be okay

when this story

ends.

- Lisa Schroeder, The Day Before
