Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish
in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of
2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to
bring bookish friends together. http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/

I don't bother with inspirational quotes so I'll go for ones that amused me.
1) "I also know a Were-Pomeranian named Phoebe Fluffenstuff that will gut someone with her samurai sword as casually as you would slice a pie"
James R Tuck-Deacon Chalk series
2) "Some people are like Slinkies. They aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs"
Patricia Briggs-Mercy Thompson series
3) "I look over at him. He stares straight ahead. 'So' I say. 'Golem huh?' 'I prefer the term Mineral American.'"
DD Barant-Bloodhound Files series
4) "Nice one Zoey. You did everything short of farting in there. Maybe if you see him again, you can tell him you have a yeast infection."
RL Naquin-Monster Haven series
5) "Benny The Clown had torn open the man's abdominal cavity, his claws cradling several loops of glistening intestines. But rather than gorging on them, the clown was stretching and pulling the bloody loops, twisting the organ into knots. Familiar knots.
'Is that...a flamingo?' asked the old woman."
Various Authors-Draculas
6) "Since I've become a Druid, I've seen some pretty weird shit Atticus.' Granuaile said. 'But Beardy Baggins there squaring off against Squid Head McGee in the snow might be the weirdest.'
Kevin Hearne-The Iron Druid series
7) "I lited one foot from the brackish water, and the bunny slippers were soaked and drooped pathetically. Even the fangs seemed robbed of any charm.
'Don't worry.' I told it. 'Someone will pay for your suffering. Heavily. With screaming.'
I felt I should repeat it for the other slipper, in case there should be any bad feelings between the two. One should never create tension between one's footwear."
Rachel Caine-The Morganville Vampires
8) "Frankly I didn't know what Station Security was going to do about it either. In fact I'm sure station security was now shitting itself almost as hard as I metaphorically was"
Marrtha Wells-The Murderbot Diaries
9) "Dad instantly set out his stall: he wanted a big dog, a 'man dog', a dog that if it was human would enjoy a pint and stare at the barmaid's arse"
Alan Carr-Look Who It Is!
10) "My sister has mistaken me for a mushroom. She keeps me in the dark and feeds me shit."
George RR Martin-A Song of Ice & Fire
