Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

Got this from the Book Addicts group. Anyone want to play?

Just a book game I've seen around the website. :) Here are the rules: Grab the book closest to you - or any one of your choosing - and turn to the last posted page and sentence of said book. Then post that designated line or quote. (Be sure to post the name of the book). Next, you post a page number and sentence number for the next person to use.

First post: Turn to page 84, sentence 5.

The next person to post must post the 5th sentence on the 84th page AND chose the page and sentence number for the next person.

* BTW this game is a lot more fun if you don't cheat! write the actual sentence not the one you think sounds best. *

I thought this could be a little fun, and maybe occassionally a little risqué, given that we mostly read romances! :)

How to start? Just type your sentence, according to the page and sentence of the person before you. If you need to know how, refer to Add a Book/Bookcover Link .

I'll go first and use the above: Turn to page 84, sentence 5.

"A shiver of anticipation shot through her."



Next person: Page 121, sentence 3.

Awesome, I participate in this thread in The Book Addicts group and it's interesting sometimes what comes up as the sentences. I'm not reading a rom at the moment, but I'll get a sentence out of the one I plan on reading next.

(Oh, gee, well this one's not very exciting lol)

"Fracture."



Next: Pg 42 Sentence 8

I saw your posting; that's where I stole the idea from. Thanks for playing with me. And they can't all be risqué; we might get flagged! LOL!
