I always read the dedication page. I just love seeing how creative authors can be when putting this together!
Where it is the season of being thankful, I have decided to put together this little post of photos of four really awesome pages that I have seen recently.
Enjoy!
4 Brilliant Dedication Pages
When I cracked open this book, I was really hoping that the dedication would be something along these words. Adam Rex didn’t let me down!

A bit creepy, but so creative!
Knowing that this book was centered around a creature that was just itching to push a button, this dedication made me laugh right out loud.
When I first read this dedication, I immediately thought it was rather eerie. What happened to the girl in the woods? Why doesn’t she play in them anymore? But then later, I wondered if this was more about a little girl that had simply grown up. I just can’t decide now; it really could go either way, especially after reading the novel.
Thanks for reading!
Has a dedication page ever jumped out at you?
This is a cool idea for a blog post! I love the “played in the woods” one. That was me as a kid. VE Schwab writes really good dedications. Some of them are weird and magical.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Ooh! I’ll have to keep an eye out for those dedications!
We have and read Don't Push the Button a lot in my house and I never noticed the dedication – that's great!
It’s so perfect!! 🙂
The dedication page in the book I just finished says, "For all the lost girls – may you find your way home." So perfect for the book!
Oh wow! That’s definitely an interesting one!!
I love this idea for a blog post! So cool!
I always enjoy reading dedications. Some are heartbreaking, others are sweet, and some are hilarious. It's always fun to read!

Very nice! 🙂

This is a great post idea! I can't think of one off the top of my head, but that last one sure makes you look twice. Without knowing the novel, I would have assumed it's a story inspired by a childhood friend or sibling who is now an adult…. Or maybe the author herself?
Ooh! Great point! It could be about the author! Interesting!
I really enjoy the dedication pages and the acknowledgments at the end. Thanks for this post!
😀
I definitely pushed some buttons so thanks for sharing that one. I love this post idea.

I never read dedications pages for mainstream books. I look at the Indie books to see if bloggers I know are mentioned as that is fun.
I love when authors give shout outs to bloggers! 🙂
Yes, I love dedication pages and some are really cool!

I love dedication pages. Many make me cry because they are so touching, but there are those special ones, that are too funny.
😀
Oh my gosh, the "I am your father" line from the Darth Vader book is priceless! Love that one. 🙂

Right?! haha
What an interesting post Erica, now I'm going to have to remember those dedication pages I read, I do enjoy the humorous ones.
😀
I really like the Nightmarchers dedication!
Me too!!
I always love to read dedications. Some can be really fun!

There are some great dedications out there. I love the dedication in the seventh Harry Potter book: "…and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end." Makes me teary-eyed every time.
That's perfect!!
