Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] elspeth_vimes.

1. Pick 10 18 of your favorite books or series.
2. Post the first sentence of each book.
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.


1. "David tramped along the road to the Casson house, trying not to think too far ahead."

2. "Imagine a man standing on a rocky shoreline looking out to sea, pondering the question, the same question we whisper when we look up at night into a star-crazed sky-- swirls of light millions of years old-- everything moving away, or toward, or around: What's out there?"

3. "When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow."

4. "i don't remember the sun."

5. "Everyone is always living her story."

6. "Keep in mind that you are making memories."

7. "First the colors."

8. "My grandfather lived all his life on a small farm in the high country near the village of Mont Brulant."

9. "It was the class that created itself."

10. "I am Homer, the blind brother."

Yyyyyyeah only one of these is even remotely obvious.

1. Saffy's Angel. Which I still need to read.

I'm pretty sure I know more, but I can't remember what they are.

It's actually Permanent Rose, which is the third book in the series. :P BUT YES, YOU DO NEED TO READ IT. You need to read alllllll of them.

FOILED BY MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF A SERIES I NEED TO READ!

ALSO, IF YOU END UP KNOWING ANY OF THE OTHER BOOKS ON HERE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. With the exception of 3, they're all woefully obscure.

I AM FAIRLY SURE I KNOW A FEW, BUT I CANNOT REMEMBER. D:

... I WILL LIST THEM IN WHITE TEXT AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF YOU'VE READ ANY OF THEM BECAUSE MY CURIOSITY IS BURNINGGGGG



... Actually, 7 isn't all that obscure either.

WELL, NO WONDER 3 SEEMED FAMILIAR. I almost put that one on my list, but the list was so big already...

I think I've hear of 8 before, but I haven't read it.

For 8, if you're thinking of Margaret Peterson Haddix's Shadow Children Sequence, that's not it. XD

... ignore this journal I forgot what I was logged in as

ALSO TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD IS AMAZING AND YOU SHOULD READ IT ASAP

[identity profile] elspeth-vimes.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Then I haven't heard of it.

Man, I feel uninformed. XD

[identity profile] beatsupboys.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)

I meant the list for the meme! I have most certainly read and loved it. It's just been some years since I've picked it up.

[identity profile] elspeth-vimes.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
CLEARLY I MUST READ MORE oh god so many books
