Another book game I saw.

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

Example: page 162 and line 3

"She's progressive and experimental." Rust is my current read and this is the sentence 3 on page 162.

Then I post a new page and line number for the next person. So, next person, you page is 88 and line is 13.

"Your malice brought Plague on my man and my mother and my boys"
This is in Year of Wonders I am reading that next for the Book Challenge. I haven't read that far yet so I am interested to see it in context.

The next one is sentence 9 on page 256.

p.s. I love this idea!

"I knew that he would be true to me, for I knew one or two things about him; so I made up my mind to go right on to Kilburn, where he lived, and take him into my confidence."

Next one is page 26, sentence 7.

Next person: pg. 117 and sentence 4.

"She was masterful at making it seem not as thought she was ignoring Carmen, rather that Carmen simply wasn't in the frame." Carry the One

I am not that far in the book yet, so no clue what is going on. :)

Next: Pg 7 sentence 7.

"What I am is almost forty-two, the divorced father of two German Shepherds-one of whom I miss-a failed Catholic, and a speaker of street Spanish with some difficulty." Start Shooting: A Novel

Next, Page 100, sentence 13.

Next: page 73 line 12

"Brown is a good sort of Man - he did not know he was doing me to death by inches." --John Keats in a letter to Fanny Brawne
