This week’s theme is Memorable Secondary Characters. YAY! I love fun
secondary characters. I actually
mentioned a few of my faves in this post.
Grandma Mazur from the Stephanie Plum series by Janet
Evanovich
“That shooting gave me an appetite," she said.
"Somebody pass
me the potatoes."
me the potatoes."
“The dog ran into the kitchen, stuck his nose in
Grandma's crotch, and snuffled.
Dang," Grandma said. "Guess my new perfume really works. I'm gonna have to try it out at the seniors meeting.”

Windsor Horne Lockwood III (Win)
from the Myron Bolitar Series by
Harlan Coben
“If you clone yourself and then have sex with yourself,
is it considered incest or masturbation?”
“So basically your plan is to flail about
helplessly.”
Hoppie/Doc/Morey from “The Power of One” by Bryce Courtenay
“The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself,
often well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The
mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or
longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further,
or box better.”
“Always listen to yourself... It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention.”
“Your brain, Peekay, has two functions; it is a place for original thought, but also it is a reference library. Use it to tell you where to look, and then you will have for yourself all the brains that have ever been”

Miranda Priestly from “The Devil wears Prada” by Lauren
Weisburger
“Then it filtered down through the department stores and
then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt,
fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of
dollars and countless jobs and so it’s sort of comical how you think that
you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact,
you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this
room.”
Fred and George from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Lettie West/Davenport from some later books in John
Sandfords Prey Series
Shrake (cop) and Letty, Lucas and Weather’s 15 year old
daughter are playing gin rummy
“Who’s winning”
“Don’t bother us,” Letty said, “If he goes out, I’ve got
to take off my bra.”
“When I’d kill a rat, I’d always aim at the little white
spot in their eye. ‘Course, I was using
a twenty-two, from two inches. Still
like that gun.”
“But he didn’t hit me in the head. He hit me in the arm, and I hate this cast.”
Stuart Whitworth from “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett
Joanna Mason and Finnick Odair from “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins
Doris from “Attachments”
by Rainbow Rowell
Mammy from “Gone
with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell
Grandma Mazur gets the best lines in that series!
