Stuck on You
Quirky love quotes that stick in your
memory…and on your stuff.
Hopeful (and hopeless) romantics will find quotes to inspire, amuse,
and enlighten, all focused on that crazy little thing called love. Each
page features one quote, graphically presented to provide a reflective
moment to think about the one you love. Each quote includes a
thought-provoking, love-inspiring phrase called out in bold type and
eye-catching color. Bonus: ten pages of Stickable Quotes to post where
they’ll mean the most—seal a love letter, stick in a journal, put on a
coffee mug or water bottle, decorate a special bottle of wine, use as gift
tags, add a romantic touch to scrapbook pages, or post on a makeup
(or shaving) mirror to start your morning with a warm fuzzy feeling.
Read, share, stick, mail…fall in love again and again.
Here are just a few of the 140 quotes you’ll find inside:
• “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be
no more hurt, only more love.”—Mother Teresa
• “Stop waiting for prince charming. Get up and find him. The poor idiot
may be stuck in a tree or something.”—Unknown
• “If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in
your life.”—Cher

READER TESTIMONIALS
“Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers
are always excellent. Over the past 20 years,
I’ve read these books, given them as gifts to my
husband and sons for Christmas and birthdays.
The writing is always good, and this book (Fully
Loaded), like so many others that we’ve had
over the years, is definitely worth reading
and definitely worth owning.”
—IBPA Benjamin Franklin
Awards Judge
“Our friend Patrick Merrell has a new book
out that would make a great gift for the elementary
or middle school child in your life. Hunting For
Heroes, which also has the title iFlush because it’s
published by the infamous Uncle John’s series, is a
beautiful book jam-packed with puzzles galore.
The lucky recipient of this book will stay busy for
hours learning about heroes, big and small.”
—Deb Amlen, The New York Times, 4/17/14
“I have learned so much from
you guys. Thank you for being
amazing!” —Reece T.

“My friend in school was reading
Bathroom Readers, so then I bought a
couple, and now my mom says I’m just
threatening her with my intelligence.”
—Chase O.
“I love these books! I read them on
my commute bus in the morning,
and during my lunch hour. They are
definitely not just for the bathroom.”
—Alison G.
