Hello!

Welcome to The Literary Maidens blog!

Sorry this month's quote post is a little late, Bethany and I are both swamped! But, better late than never! If you have read any of our other quote post you know that "The Quote Book" is where Bethany and I (Madi) share some of the quotes that we have collected over the course of the previous month from books that we have read. Unfortunately, Bethany won't be participating this month, but I will still share some of the quotes that I have collected.  Our goal through sharing these quotes with you is that you will find a little inspiration, encouragement and maybe a hint of comedy in your day. Enjoy!
