Having stumbled across the film trailer for Crazy Rich Asians, I thought I'd give this much talked about novel a read to see what the hype was all about. It was funny and filled with Dynasty-esque glamour and drama. All of which I'm here for but not gonna lie, it did get wearisome. All the same a good summer read, before the movie comes out!

I was looking for some literary quotes and stumbled across this one from The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, a childhood favourite of mine. It's about a little boy called Milo, who drives his car through a magic tollbooth an ex is transported to the Kingdom of Wisdom, where he embarks on a quest to restore the kingdom to its rightful rulers Rhyme and Reason. If you have children, I can definitely recommend this as a exciting and magical read that will spark their imaginations 😊 #quotes #instaquote #childrensbooks #books #bookquotes #thephantomtollbooth #nortonjuster #classics #childhood
