Can you guess?
1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series'.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.
These aren't strictly my top ten, as some of those are so obvious there's nothing to guess (When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced...) So I used few that wouldn't be on top of my list, but are still some of my favorites.
I will be seriously impressed with anyone who gets a certain few of these.

2. The play-- for which Briony had designed the posters, programs and tickets, constructed the sales booth out of a folding screen tipped on its side, and lined the collection box in red crepe paper--was written by her in a two-day tempest of composition, causing her to miss a breakfast and a lunch.
