Character catchphrases...and a giveaway!

"What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" ~Diff'rnt Strokes

"It's gonna be legen — wait for it — dary." ~How I Met Your Mother

These phrases, along with countless others, originated from TV shows but have become a part of our modern vernacular. Characters repeat them over the years of a TV series and they stick with you. 

I started thinking about catchphrases from literary characters. Sometimes it only takes one book - not even a book series - for a phrase to become a catchphrase. 

We've pulled from books across various age groups and genres and put together a fun quiz to see how well you know these popular phrases. And here's the best part: you can enter to win posters from our Read Every Day collection! Don't worry - you don't need to get all the answers correct to enter the sweepstakes!
