Dedications.

One of my favourite things about reading books is reading the dedications and getting a glimpse into who has either influenced the story in some way or who is important to the author. I saw a video like this on YouTube so I wanted to take apart my bookshelves and share with you all some of my favourite dedications.

The Fault In Our Stars - John Green

"To Esther Earl"

Delirium - Lauren Oliver

"For all the people who have infected me with amor deliria nervosa in the past

- you know who you are.

For the people who will infect me in the future

- I can't wait to see who you'll be.

And in both cases:

Thank you."

Requiem - Lauren Oliver

"For Michael, who took down the walls"

Crown of Midnight - Sarah J. Maas

"For Susan - 

best friends until we're nothing but dust.

(And then some.)"

Heir of Fire - Sarah J. Maas

"Again, for Susan -

whose friendship changed my life for the better

and gave this book its heart."

All The Bright Places - Jennifer Niven

"For my mother,

Penelope Niven,

my brightest place of all"

Skin Deep - Laura Jarratt

"For Mum, who taught me to read and so gave me the key

to a bottomless casket of treasure."

Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell

"For Jennifer, who always had an extra lightsaber"

Die For Me - Amy Plum

"This is for you, Mom. I miss you every day."

City of Glass - Cassandra Clare

"For my mother

'I only count the hours that shine.'"

It's Kind of A Funny Story - Ned Vizzini

"To my mom

You knew you'd get one sooner or later,

and seeing as they're so hard to do, I figured we'd 

better make it sooner. I love you."

Geek Girl: Picture Perfect - Holly Smale

"For my Dad.

My rock. My hero. My Richard."

Seige and Storm - Leigh Bardugo

"For my mother,

who believed even when I didn't."
