Charm Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I spun and bolted. I didn't get far. This side of the road was forest, and thick woods weren't kind to humans, particularly naked running humans. Stolen ~by~ Kelley Armstrong Quote
Kylie Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I picked up a paddle as a ball careened past me. 'Wasn't ready!' I protested, as another ball came over the net. I swiped at it and missed. Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde Quote
Suzanna Addison Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 "What?" Rachel asked. "Don't ever feel like you're the one to blame." She sipped some more of her hot chocolate.

Pablo Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Soon enough he is stalking doorways, leading the dancing moon of Jed's flashlight with the barrel of his rifle, and always listening. Corners, however, only reveal more corners, and Jed's light only targets ashen walls, though soon enough they all begin to detect that inimitable growl, like calving glaciers, far off in the distance, which at least in the mind's eye, inhabits a thin line where rooms and passageways must finally concede to become a horizon. "The growl almost always comes like the rustle of a high mountain wind on the trees," Navidson explained later. 'House Of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. Quote

lexiepiper Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 He could have jammed a bloody butcher knife through a cow's heart and into my linoleum. I was grateful he hadn't - what a mess - but why Barbie?

Charm Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 When the news of his suicide reached her, she'd assumed that call had been a desparate plea for help. She'd assumed he'd called to give her a chance to talk him out of it. Or to say goodbye. In Silence ~by~ Erica Spindler Quote

Kylie Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 How is this? some carping reader exclaims. How is it that Amelia, who had such a number of friends at school, and was so beloved there, comes out into the world and is spurned by her discriminating sex? My dear sir, there were no men at Miss Pinkerton's establishment except the old dancing-master; and you would not have had the girls fall out about him?

Chrissy Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 (Had to go to page 124 as the book is squat and only had 4 paragraphs on 123) When Nicko was satisfied that the boat was properly tied up to allow for the rise and fall of the tides, and everything onboard was neatly stowed away, he pulled a tattered piece of paper from his pocket.
