Gigi's Company discussion

I hope it's OK that I started this topic. I have seen a game like this in one of the groups on Goodreads and thought it would be great to start a thread here.

Here are the rules: you turn to the given page and sentence of the book close to you and post that quote, then you post a page number and sentence number for the next person to use.

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

First post: turn to page 100, sentence 10.

the next person to post must post the 10th sentence on the 100th page AND chose the page and sentence number for the next person.
