I'm a little bit obsessed with a book (and Netflix) series called You. The series follows Joe, a stalker and serial killer. As you can probably imagine, the plot is very dark, but there are surprising moments of humor and insight. That's what we're talking about today. These are my favorite quotes from the series.
When a beautiful aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.
There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.
As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.

What's your current favorite book or TV series?
I haven't read the book or seen the show, but I'm intrigued now! This guy sounds unintentionally hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read the book, and I've only seen the the first episode of You. I wanted to read the book first...but you know, I'm so behind. LOL Love all these quotes, and the graphics you made for them.

I started the show but didn't finish yet (which happens a lot with me and Netflix)!
ReplyDeleteI was really pleased with how the show has turned out - I haven't seen the most recent season yet, though!
ReplyDeleteYOU isn't my type of book/movie, but I'm glad you enjoy it so much :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Nice quotes! I especially like Jeff Bezos is a rich man because he knows how much we all just love to get a present, even if it's a present we bought for ourselves." It totally explains my addiction to Amazon.
ReplyDeletesome of these are quite unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea You was a book! Or that it had so many fascinating lines.
ReplyDeleteThe Home Depot quote is chilling. Remind to NOT read that book. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI have neither read nor watched the show, but I am intrigued (and slightly insulted by that guacamole quote).
ReplyDeleteGood quotes... I especially like the "Advice" from one who makes bad decisions. Sounds too true.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I had no interest in You but now after reading these quotes, I wanna give the book a shot!
ReplyDeleteI've been doubting to read this book or watch this show, as it did seem quite dark, but do I love the humor in these quotes, so maybe I still need to give it a try.
ReplyDelete"I love Stephen King as much as any red rum drinking American, but I resent the fact that I, the bookseller, am his bitch." << one of my fav quotes
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title of this post I thought you were quoting book bloggers or something. LOL! I haven't read this book, but I watched the first season of the show, and I could definitely see any of these quotes coming from the MC.
