OPEN ME!!
Here's a new thing...
As I say, it isn't necessarily a book tag, but can be taken as one if someone else wants to do it. Practically, I am quoting more "classic" books, and then matching that quote to a modern YA novel.
If people enjoy that, please let me know!!

Renegades by Marissa Meyer
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” – To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
