- Let your friends guess what book it is.


1. lol these are all soo random.
first: It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the expression "as pretty as an airport".
last on page fifty: The hosepipe ended in a plastic tap nozzle, and was obviously used for refilling the kettle.
second on one hundred: In fact it was only his hair that was tousled, but it was tousled to such an extreme degree that it seemed to draw all of his long face up into its distressed chaos.
next to last on one-fifty: And credit cards.
last: He turned to the front page to see if there was any interesting news.

2. now i wanna read this again
first: You don't know me.
last on page fifty: But, that being said, I find this truth to be self evident: no one, while eating dinner, should be forced to watch a fellow human being get his nose broken.
second on one hundred: Of course, I do not understand the slightest syllable of algebra gibberish that Mrs. Moonface is uttering, but she cannot tell that from my appearance.
next to last on one-fifty: "PDA?" I repeat, my hand now grasping only empty air.
last: And I understand that, forlorn and cautios as it started out, and muddled and painful as it became in places, it was, in the end, a love song.

3.
first: It was a dark and stormy night.
last on page fifty: "But we used to live in it just in the summer."
second on one hundred: "You three children will be on your own."
next to last on one-fifty: "Can you see now?" she asked.
last: But they never learned what it was that Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which had to do, for there was a gust of wind, and they were gone.

4. last one narrows it down considerably lol
first: It was a dull autumn day and Jill Poe was crying behind the gym.
last on page fifty: the field beneath her looked gray, and the trees black.
second on one hundred: On the north side of each bank the snow already lay in deep drifts; and after each climb you came down into the drifts and got wet.
next to last on one-fifty: umm there's an illustration on page 150 so here's next to last on 151: His breast rose and fell gently under the snowy beard which covered him to the waist.
last: If ever you have the luck to go to Narnia yourself, do not forget to have a look at those caves.

now i'm mildly distressed because i\m not sure where a couple of them go back on the shelf AND THEY MUST BE IN THE RIGHT SPOT!!!!!
