AG Book Quotes + Free Phone Wallpapers

         Welcome back to another Monday, and with another week, here’s another post! If I haven’t really mentioned it before, I LOVE AG books. Not only are they important to how I determine my dolls’ personalities, but I discovered a love for history through them, and more recently, I’ve realized just how powerful some of them are. I’ve compiled a list of some inspirational quotes I found in the books. And, on top of that, I’ve included some illustrations that are just the perfect size to use as a phone wallpaper to go along with some of my favorites! Just hold down the photo and press ‘add to photos’ or screenshot! I made these wallpapers myself, so I just ask that you don’t crop out the watermark. Thank you and enjoy!

“I don’t really believe that life always works out happily like fairytales do, and the wishes-come-true aren’t the only reason I like fairytales.

       I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I had a lot of fun making it, but scanning through all my books was very time consuming! I might have to do a part 2 eventually, when I can get around to at least reading a little bit of the bigger books, or just doing a deeper read of the Pleasant Company books. I hope you enjoy the wallpapers, too! They’re hand drawn, and I know they’re not perfect, but I’ve loved having them as my phone background for the last few days! If there are any quotes you would like to have as a wallpaper, let me know in the comments and I’ll make one! I’m not sure how busy I’ll be this week with starting a new school, but I hope I’ll be able to get the wallpapers up the day of or the day after the request is made, so check back frequently! 

        I’ll be back next week, but until then, have a great week and remember to eat your veggies! Bye! <3
