Welcome to another TTT! This week\u2019s topic is about things that book characters have said. Maybe a character said something really profound or romantic or hilarious or heartbreaking. You could share witty one-liners, mic-drop moments, snippets of funny dialogue between multiple characters, catchphrases, quotes that have become a part of pop culture\u2013like \u201cMay the odds be ever in your favor.\u201d, etc. I\u2019ve decided to go with funny things! Some of them are conversations and some are just funny one-liners.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> \u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as an old maid.\u201d
\u201cWh-what would you call a middle-aged lady who\u2019s never married?\u201d
\u201cA woman with standards?\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Lisa Kleypas,\u00a0<\/span>Chasing Cassandra<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> \u201cDid you . . . Did you just kiss me?\u201d He sounded puzzled, and maybe a little out of breath. His lips were full and plump and . . . Kissed. There was simply no way Olive could get away with denying what she had just done.
Still, it was worth a try.
\u201cNope.\u201d
Surprisingly, it seemed to work.
\u201cAh. Okay, then.\u201d Carlsen nodded and turned around, looking vaguely disoriented. He took a couple of steps down the hallway, reached the water fountain\u2014maybe where he\u2019d been headed in the first place.
Olive was starting to believe that she might actually be off the hook when he halted and turned back with a skeptical expression.
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Ali Hazelwood,\u00a0<\/span>The Love Hypothesis<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> \u201cShe laid a row of cushions down the center of the bed, carefully dividing it into two sides: His, and hers.
\u201cIs that truly supposed to stop me?\u201d He fell back on the bed, on his side-peering over the pillow wall at her with amusement. \u201cI fully intended to have my wicked way with you. But now there\u2019s this cushion, so\u2026\u201d
She burrowed under the coverlet, drawing it up to her neck.
\u201cNow that you mention it,\u201d he went on, \u201cI dinna know how this strategy escaped Napoleon\u2019s notice. If only he\u2019d erected a barricade of feathers and fabric, we Highlanders wouldna have known how to get over it.\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t expect the pillows to keep you out,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re merely a guard against anything accidental happening.\u201d
\u201cAh.\u201d He drew out the syllable. \u201cWe canna have any accidental happenings.\u201d
\u201cExactly. I might roll over in the night, and I know how you feel about cuddling. I should hate to take advantage of you.\u201d
\u201cMinx.\u201d
\u2015 Tessa Dare,\u00a0When a Scot Ties the Knot<\/a><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> \u201cWounded male pride has caused the world more destruction than the Black Death and the Great Flood put together.\u201d
\u2015 Tessa Dare, The Wallflower Wager<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> \u201cI have four uniforms, but only one f\u2013ing flight jacket, and I\u201d\u2014punch\u2014\u201chate\u201d\u2014punch\u2014\u201csewing!\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Rebecca Yarros,\u00a0<\/span>Onyx Storm<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> \u201cYou can count the number of cricket chirps per second to calculate the outside temperature.\u201d
\u201cUnless the outside is on fire,\u201d Caz said. \u201cHow fast do they chirp if it\u2019s all on fire?\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Sarah Beth Durst,\u00a0<\/span>The Spellshop<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> \u201cWhat\u2019s it like having a twin?\u201d
\u201cWhat\u2019s it\u2019s like not having a twin?\u201d I reply, and he laughs.
\u201cTouch\u00e9.\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Christina Lauren,\u00a0<\/span>The Unhoneymooners<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> \u201cGoogle career options for tired girls who still want to afford their nice apartment.\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Catherine Walsh,\u00a0<\/span>Holiday Romance<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> \u201cThere may be plenty of fish in the sea, but most of those fish are bottom-dwellers with weird lanterns hanging off the front of their faces.\u201d
\u2015\u00a0B.K. Borison,\u00a0<\/span>Mixed Signals<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> \u201cTechnically, I went to bed at 10 pm, but in girl-with-a-Kindle time, it was actually closer to 2 am,\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Cindy Steel,\u00a0<\/span>Faking Christmas<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you laughed at some of these!<\/strong>
