4.0
A friend took this for me while she was on USA, and I'm so happy! I even didn't know this book existed before she gifted it to me.
*I had some difficulties choosing my favorite quotes, I mostly like them all!*
I loved it! First, the edition is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a fan of yellow color, but the cover is a soft shadow of yellow that matches Belle's dress and it makes me want to paint my walls this color. And inside you'll find a quote from a book on Belle's library on one page and her thoughts on the other, along with some pretty drawings. Really, I would have bought this book for the pretty edition only!
(I'm not good at taking pictures, but look at this)
But let's not judge a book by it's cover (OK YES I DO THAT ALL THE TIME), because the book's quotes and Belle's notes on them are so incredibly inspiring and positive that I don't know how this book isn't more popular.! The quotes are all from classics that mostly I haven't read yet, but that's not a problem, you don't need to have read them or know the story to understand them, but in the case that you want to know more about them there's an appendix where you can get more details on the titles.
This would make a great gift for kids and Beauty and the Beast's fans!
"And here is a king who is not so ideal. Learning about other cultures and customs is specially important for one in power. Such knowledge can create a certain openness, a society of mutual betterment, and a celebratory fraternité across different lands, which will only strengthen us all."
"I couldn't agree more. You cannot simply wait for your circumstances to change or for someone to save you. If you do not try to help yourself, who will?"
