Why So Serious: The Mortal Instruments Edition Vol 3

To prepare for the upcoming release of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, I have decided to share my favourite quotes/dialogues that made me chuckle from the first three books in The Mortal Instruments. This is a series of posts I have titled 'Why So Serious?-TMI Edition'. I thought it would be nice to remember why we love this series so much and start getting even more excited for City of Fallen Angels.

So here goes...

From City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

1)      "I am a man" he told her, "and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone woman, and bring me something brown."

2)      "Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?"
"No" Simon said, "If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons."

3)      "I think he’s handling it with grace. A lot of teenage boys would sulk, or lurk around under your window with a boom box."

4)      "And quit baring your fangs at me. It's making me nervous." 
"Good," Simon said. "If you want to know why, it's because you smell like blood."
"It's my cologne. Eau de Recent Injury." Jace raised his left hand.

5)      "Well, I can always fix it up with something sparkly." Magnus said, holding a sparkly headband.
"Resist the urge Alec, resist the urge." Simon said.

6)      “I have a fetish for damsels in distress.”
“Don’t be sexist.”
“Not at all. My services are also available to gentlemen in distress. It’s an equal opportunity fetish,”

7)      "So technically, even though Jace isn't actually related to you, you have kissed your brother."

8)      "I thought I'd lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while, it relaxes me" – Jace

9)      Sebastian: YOU'RE Ragnor Fell the warlock?
Magnus: Well, I'm certainly not Ragnor Fell the exotic dancer

10)   “And I’m sure my blood is fan-tastic.”
Simon set the empty flask down on the arm of the chair by the bed. “There’s something very wrong with you,” he said. “Mentally, I mean.”

Just two more weeks guys, isn't that exciting? Well till next time.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Why So Serious: The Mortal Instruments Edition, vol 2

To prepare for the upcoming release of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, I have decided to share my favourite quotes/dialogues that made me chuckle from the first three books in The Mortal Instruments. This is a series of posts I have titled 'Why So Serious?-TMI Edition'. I thought it would be nice to remember why we love this series so much and start getting even more excited for City of Fallen Angels.

So here goes...

From City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

1)      "Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you. " –Simon

2)      "We need to talk. All of us about what we're going to do now."
"I was going to watch Project Runway." -Jace

3)      “ Are you all right? Your eyes are crossing." –Simon

4)      "Look on the bright side," said Simon, "If they need a human sacrifice, you can always offer me. I'm not sure the rest of you qualify anyway."

5)      “That’s sweet,” said Maia. “That he loves his sister like that.”
“Yeah,” Simon said. “It’s precious"

6)      "He did," Alec confirmed. "I've never seen anything like it."
"I've never seen anything like this." Jace lifted a ten-inch dagger from the floor. One of Isabelle's pink brassiers was spread on the wickedly sharp tip. Isabelle snatched it off, scowling.

7)      "You have something on your neck.”
“What?”
“Looks like a bite mark, what were you doing out all night, anyway?”
“Nothing. I went walking in the park. Tried to clear my head.”
“And ran into a vampire?”
“What? No! I fell.”
“On your neck?" –Poor Alec

8)      "What I actually want to call you is a hell of a lot more unprintable than your name" -Clary

9)      "If you're texting Magnus to say 'I think u r kewl' I'm going to kill you"  -Isabelle

10)   "That's your truck parked up by the factory isn't it?" Magnus pointed. "It's awfully butch for a bookseller."  -Magnus Bane

I love a good laugh and TMI series is full of them. Hope you enjoyed. Till next week.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Why so Serious?-The Mortal Instruments Edition

To prepare for the upcoming release of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, I have decided to share my favourite quotes/dialogues that made me chuckle from the first three books in The Mortal Instruments. This is a series of posts I have titled 'Why So Serious?-TMI Edition'. I thought it would be nice to remember why we love this series so much and start getting even more excited for City of Fallen Angels.

So here goes...

From City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

1) "Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides they want to take a bath with the duckie." -Jace

2) "It's the mortal cup Jace, not the mortal toilet bowl." -Isabelle

3) "That's why when major badasses greet each other in movies, they don't say anything, they just nod. The nod means, 'I' am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,' but they don't say anything because they're Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain." -Simon

4) "You know," Clary said, "most psychologists agree that hostility is really just sublimated sexual attraction." -Clary

5) "Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it's 5 a.m., I figured you'd be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.'" -Jace

6)  '"Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?'
Jace said, "Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself."
..."At least," she said, "you don't have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland."
"Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting."'

7) '"Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?"
"If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked."' -Jace

8) '"I am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass."' Simon

9) "Do you remember back at the hotel when you promised that if we lived, you’d get dressed up in a nurse’s outfit and give me a sponge bath?" asked Jace.
"It was Simon who promised you the sponge bath."
"As soon as I’m back on my feet, handsome," said Simon.
"I knew we should have left you a rat."

10) '"Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt."' -Jace

I know that the majority of these are from Jace but he's pretty funny. I have a thing for sarcasm. Hopefully everyone enjoyed this. City of Ashes next week.

Happy Reading Everyone!
