Quotes by Julie Valerie  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“What is it with womanhood? Holly wondered. Motherhood, raising children? Being a sister, a daughter, loving and then helping your parents as they age? Loving a man, loving your family, loving the home you’ve built? What is it with life? Time passes as we etch and notch moments. Often, it’s the marking of significant moments—milestones like weddings and proposals—that causes us to pause and reflect. But other moments make up a life: smaller moments like letters inside a word. We should pause to consider them.”
Julie Valerie, The Peculiar Fate of Holly Banks

“film school dreams”
Julie Valerie, Holly Banks Full of Angst

“Sports bras aren’t real bras. They smash your ta-tas until your ta-tas aren’t ta-tas anymore. They’re blah-blahs. Imagine the bumper stickers: Save the blah-blahs? That’s ridiculous.”
Julie Valerie, Holly Banks Full of Angst

Rusty Nugent Greetings,

Hopefully, we will become great buddies. I am an 42 year old southern gentleman author. I am working on my third novel. It's an paranormal, horror, adventure, magical, romantic, urban, dark fantasy book series, named Moonwarriors: In An Blackened Dawn. Take a look at my second novel Moonwarriors: Guardians of the Night. Come by and we'll chat, leave a comment.

Until Next Time . . .

Charlie, that's so great that you've marked JANE AUSTEN DAYDREAM on your TBR list. I absolutely loved it and the author, Scott Southard, writes such a diverse range of books. Thanks for connecting - let's stay in touch!

Julie Valerie Just added Velvet Ball to my TBR pile. Your personal story is amazing - your childhood, your early work on a typewriter, the brick house and your dedication to honing your craft. I'm so glad to "meet" you on Goodreads.

Cheers!


Patricia Puddle Hi Julie, thanks for the friend's request. Anyone who love gum is a friend of mine. :) Oh, and Pollyweena's.
