My name is Denise and I'm a bookaholic. I am one of those avid readers that highlights, underlines and dog-ears quotes in every book I get my hands on – always with a tasty glass of red wine in hand and my pup, Eleanor, by my side. This blog is dedicated to those quotes that have inspired me so much that I have ruined the value of every book I own. Also to come: book reviews, literary websites, my own work, art, etc. Enjoy!

I like bars just after they open in the evening. When the air inside is still cool and clean and everything is shiny. The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar — that’s wonderful.
The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel…
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Here’s to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life.
The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I was as hollow and empty as the spaces between stars.
The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler
I don’t want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.
This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald
