So... Opinions.

I've written three quotes so far. The name of the book, the character who said it, and the page number is what I've written underneath it. I want to be able to refer back, if necessary. I figure I might use this collaboration as a way to pick a book to read in the future.

@RubyHawk I coped one last night that I really liked. "History is only what we keep hold of to explain the present in a way we like."

@ScribbledAdNauseum That’s a good idea. When I copied quotes it was because they were witty. Or something I’d never heard.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have heard of them, you have good taste.

@popciclecold There was a lot to choose from, but then not a lot at the same time. This was the most detailed, though there was a stained glass one that I had considered.

Got it for $8.00. I am sure I would have paid around $12.00 for the same book at a place like Barnes and Noble

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, mention the name. i meant sorry, a bit confusing.

@Mavic123456 It is okay, thank you for the clarification.

Written?

That is what I have done. I have the quote, character name and then title of book and the page it was on. That way I can reference it in the book if I wanted to.

@rakski Plus, I think when I look back on this journal, It might help me decide what I want to read next.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, that is right.

I had considered doing what you suggested, but then I thought that mind end up being a quote per page because of my describing it. I've gone with writing the quote, then the character's name, the title of the book and the page number.

@RasmaSandra I appreciate it, and I might take into consideration in the future (once this book is full), but I've already written quotes out and I won't change my method willy-nilly like that. It'd bother me.

I was thinking it would make more sense to do that. Would help jog my memory when I look over them again. Off topic, I didn't see any lights amongst the halloween and christmas decor. Guy at the register told me it would be around the craft stuff, but I didn't go back to check. Would it be around the craft stuff? I may go to the other dollar tree next time I go.

@ScribbledAdNauseum That's a hard question for me to answer. They should be on a end cap in the red zone. The red zone is the seasonal zone. We have Halloween household and party one one side if the aisle of the red zone on the other side if that is Halloween candy, then across from that is costume and on the other side of that is Christmas craft. They could be there. Or they could be on the grid with the Christmas stuff. Or they could be on one of the four end caps in the area. One of our red zone end caps is all lights, so that's where ours our.

@thislittlepennyearns The way you described the set up? That's about what it's like in the stores I go to. I did look at the end caps that face the front of the stores (so the end of HBA, the end of Candy etc) but I didn't see it there. Maybe they just didn't have it and the kid misunderstood my question.

I have done all of that with the exception of the author's name. So far I've only collected quotes from physical copies of books I have.

That would be the front... However, the back is much the same, it just shows another part of the street.

@ScribbledAdNauseum In the words of the great Madness - Don't Quote Me On That It's all eggs, bacon, beans and a fried slice

Would you want to be quoted? ]

I had thought to add the reason it was important and / or more information about the circumstances of why it was said, but that would take up an entire page, and I did not want to do that. I have the quote, the character who said it, the book it came from, and the page it was on all recorded.

I would need more than that for myself. I intend to use the book as a way to go back and decide what to read next, or just to enjoy the quotes I thought were the most striking.
