 Our favourite book Quotes

We love to read books and always have but there are still times when it can be very hard to pick up a book and start to read it. That’s when quotes like these are there most useful. These are quotes to help you pick up that book when your in a book slump


We have made a list of our favourite book quotes and what they mean.


1. Dr Suess once wrote that “The more you read, the more you’ll know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”


What he meant by that was that the more books that you read the smarter you will get and if you keep learning it will help you accomplish great things


2. Margaret Fuller once said that she thought that “Today a reader. Tomorrow a leader”


What she means by that is that if you are reading when you are young, then you will be doing a really important job when you're older.


3.  Roald dahl once wrote “So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your T.V set away, and in its place you can install a lovely bookshelf on the wall”


What he meant by that is that if you watch to much T.v then you will end up being pretty stupid but if you read more books then you can improve your I.Q points.


4.  Frederick Douglas once said  “Once you learn to read you will be forever free”


What he means is that when you read a book you can travel the world. If you can’t read then you will always be stuck where you are.


5.  Garrison Keller once said that “A book is a gift you can open again and again”


What he meant by that is that you can read a book again and again and it will still be good and it’s like opening a present again and again.


6.  Stephen King once said that “books are a uniquely portable magic”


What he meant is that books are so good that they are almost like a little bit of magic. There are a good few things that are magic in life but books are the only portable ones.


7.  Frank Zappa once said “So many books so little time”


What he meant by that is that he thinks that he wants to read more books then he actually has time to read.


8.  Mason Cooney once said that “ Reading gives us places to go when we have to stay where we are”


What he meant by that is if you are reading a book you could be anywhere in the world without leaving your house. 


9.  Anissa Trisdianty said that “ Reading is dreaming with your eyes open”


What she meant by that is that when you read, it is like having somebody else's dream while you are still awake.

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to the Book Corner Blog. This is a blog all about children’s books. As children ourselves we are experts on the subject and we want to share our knowledge with all of you. We know that many children associate reading with school. We hope that this can change since there are so many books out there that are nothing to do with school but still very, very good. On our blog we hope to introduce children and young adults to books that they will want to read instead of ones they think they should read. We are also hoping to include some author interviews. We have so many questions to ask the authors of our favorite books. There are some books that you read and they just fill you up with questions. We want to get answers to those questions. We hope that our blog will cover those topics as well as many more. We will try to post at least once a week and we would be overjoyed if you were to read some of them.  Saoirse and Neassa at The Book Corner

Why you don’t like reading

           Why you don’t like reading In this blogpost we are going to talk about a lot of common reasons why people don’t like reading and how to get around these problems. We know that there are so many different reasons that people don’t like reading and we are only going to cover the basic ones. Teachers Teachers are actually a huge problem when it comes to children reading. They often make their classes read books that they don’t want to read as part of their work. These books are usually classics or books that are quite complicated and very “wordy” [meaning that they have a lot of words and phrases that are uncommon or rarely used]. Not all teachers are like this, though. When I [Saoirse] was in sixth class [fifth grade] I read “Holes” by Louis Sachar. This turned out to be one of my favourite books so that ended up being a good thing. Another problem with teachers is that they rarely have very good or interesting books in their class library. For us, this is a big problem becaus

Reading by Neassa

 Hey guys, it's Neassa. I don't really have a specific topic for this post, so I'm just gonna talk all things reading. Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well, it's because reading books isn't confined to one subject, so neither is this post. I am often asked, why reading? Why are you a bookworm when you could be a gamer or a sportswoman? Well, firstly I can still be a gamer or a sportswoman and still be a bookworm ! It's not a job or a commitment, it's just for fun.  And why reading? If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure. I really can't remember a time when I wasn't surrounded with books whether I was reading them myself or having them read to me by m parents, so I have been enjoying stories for years ,and I just never stopped! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I also like writing short stories. I would love to write a novel, and am really excited about that. I like writing because I like to try and cover topics I lik
