She didn't look sorry. She looked drunk.
I shook my head and whispered at Bobby, "Tell him I'm not here."
"Sure," Bobby said. "She's right here."
He handed the phone over.
"I'm the only one left holding a grudge. They say it's good to let your grudges go, but I don't know. "
I climbed out of the car. "It's dinner at the country club. what could possibly happen?"
Famous last words.
"I picked something with lots of sex, drugs and murder," Madeline had said, "so we have a lively discussion. Ideally there should be an argument."
"Everyone was drunk. It was actually a great night until it all went to shit."
"She's a wanted ship now," I reminded her, but Leia shrugged it off.
"The Millennium Falcon is wanted everywhere. We just change the transponder codes and it's fine."
Alice still looked furious. Howard still looked green. Kizzi looked happier. She carried a glass of clear liquid with ice cubes and a lime floating in it.
Finn turned back for just a second. "Hey, Georgia..." he said.
"Yeah?"
"You know that you're still wearing your wedding dress, yes?" he said.
"I remember one- night stands," said Madeline wistfully. "The things I did in the nineties. Lordy me. I hope Chloe never finds out.
Great quotes! I especially loved the ones from Guaranteed to Bleed. Such a great book! Now I just need to read The Deep End and Eight Hundred Grapes.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like Deep End, it has a lot of the same snarkiness as Gauranteed to Bleed. I have to say I'm really looking forward to her next one!
DeleteGorgeous quotes! You've made me want to add a lot of these to my tbr shelf :) I especially love the one from Heir to the Jedi - if that one wasn't already on my shelf, it'd get added right this second LOL! Thanks for sharing^^ xx
ReplyDeleteLOL it's a good one, not everyone loved it and it hasn't gotten as much attention as some of the other new Star Wars books, but I enjoyed it a lot.
DeleteGreat selection of quotes! I've been wanting to read Eight Hundred Grapes for some time now, will have to keep a lookout for it :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I hope you enjoy it if you get to it, I liked it a lot.
DeleteGreat selection of quotes, some of them seem fuelled by a lot of booze!
ReplyDeleteThey do, don't they? I didn't realize that til you commented. Hmmm... bunch of lushes LOL.
DeleteThat last quote from Big Little Lies made me laugh; nice selection of quotes.
ReplyDeleteThat book is SO quotable. And I loved it. I raided past TT's as I didn't have time to spend hours going through quotes, but they're faves anyway if I use them for TT. :)
DeleteI will say your quotes put the biggest smile on my face today. Big Little Lies is one of my favorites and those quotes are great!!
ReplyDeleteOh good, I'm glad! I loved Big Little Lies! :)
DeleteThe covers of the Country Club Murders are really cute. My mom loves cozy mysteries so I will have to suggest those to her!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
The Country Club Murders are good, and I think different from a lot of cozy. They're funny but there's a seriousness to them too- they're nicely different.
DeleteI've never read these books, but, if they're as funny as their quotes, maybe I should lol.
ReplyDeleteThe Country Club Murders are great- they're set in the 70's and have that retro vibe. And Big Little Lies- loved that book.
DeleteI was surprised how many contemporaries I read this year, since I usually read fantasy stuff.
Great bunch of quotes. :)
ReplyDeleteOK, Big Little Lies is on my TBR - but I clearly need to pick up these Country Club Murders. I love these quotes and a mystery, so it sounds like a great fit. Fun list!

"She didn't look sorry. She looked drunk."
ReplyDeleteHaha - Story of my life. Great picks.
Ha ha I like that one too. :)
DeleteI like your quotes, Greg! The Julie Mulhern books have lots of great quotes! I marked lots of them when I was reading those books.
ReplyDeletewonderful pick for quotes! thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteHa. Love all the ones from Big, Little Lies. That was a great book. Did you know that HBO is making that into a miniseries starring Reese Witherspoon? I can't wait.
