Quick! Grab the book closest to you. Find page 62 line 10 and post the sentence. Along with title of the book. No cheating!!

Katsa heard Helda muttering and grunting, on her knees most likely, looking under the bed for Katsa's hairbrush or her dinner shoes.

I have a friend that lives outside of Bali. I can't wait to visit Indonesia!

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Wanting to hear all about it!

Okay here's a new one: Walk up to a random person (or look at them). What's the first thing you notice about them?

"Short of hacking off my claw, the band's here to stay."
Oh.
I'm in my house! I can't walk up to a random person! Oh well, I will walk up to someone, try to figure something about them that is odd.
Lying down on the couch behind me. Curled up sleeping. Young or old, depending on how you look at it. Any guesses?

Ayunda (ayundabs) are we still in page 62 line 10?
if yes:

She spun a chair around and straddled it, leaning her forearms across the top of the chair and resting her chins on her arms.

from The Magician by Michael Scott.

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Awesome all of you; very interesting! Do y'all think that we should start a new one? If so then respond to this:

Open whatever book you're currently reading (or which ever one is closest to you) and turn to the first page. Cite the very first line/sentence.Now turn to the very last page in this same book; cite the very last line/sentence! Have fun. :))


message 23: by Zakiya (last edited Apr 16, 2010 05:39PM) (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Since I'm reading two books, I'll do both of them:

From Life of Pi : "My suffering left me sad and gloomy." [first page & line:] "Very few castaways can claim to have survived so long at sea, Mr. Patel, and none in the company of an adult Bengal tiger." [last page & line:]


From Specials : "The six hoverboards slipped among the trees with the lightning grace of playing cards thrown flat and spinning." [first page & line:] "Be careful with the world, or the next time we meet, it might get ugly. ---Tally Youngblood" [last page & line:]


message 24: by Ayunda (new)

Ayunda (ayundabs) Okay, I'm currently reading:

A Great and Terrible Beauty (I'll just write the first sentence in Chapter One after June 21, 1895, Bombay, India)
"Please tell me that's not going to be part of my birthday dinner this evening." [first sentence and line:]
Because I want to see how far I can go before I have to stop. [last line and sentence:]


message 25: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I remember those lines so well, Ayunda! Lol, how do you like the book so far?

message 28: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Awesomeness! I remember those lines as well, Leonor; and thanks! :))


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

I've just finished this book and I hope it still counts as 'currently reading'.
[first page&line:] (I skipped the ballad) On the evening of Lucy Scarborough's seventh birthday, after the biggest party the neighborhood had seen since, well, Lucy's sixth birthday, Lucy got one last unexpected gift.
[last page&line:] And as Soledad spoke, she was flinging herself into her mother's open arms.

from Impossible

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Sure it counts, Ginny! And I can't remember me saying it (even though it's kind of late now) but Happy Belated Beday! :))
