A book meme, stolen from riyirowe:
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.
Note: since a LOT of my books are actually in boxes still, these are just ten books I own that happen to be

Oh, I only got # 6, I am curious about the rest!

[fresica]

#6 would be really easy to anyone who's read the book. And, tbh, it's one of my favourite opening sentences EVER. It's a perfect hook for the rest of the story!

[merkuria]

Hah, the funny thing is all I read of this book is that first sentence - it's waiting for me on the shelf to be read, I have not yet had the time!

[fresica]

Really? lol I was hooked right from that first sentence - couldn't put the book down! (And since I started it on break at work, that was a very bad thing...)

[fresica]

LOL, actually that wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it is really obvious as well, isn't it? ^^; I'm predisposed to dislike Guinevere, just in general, and I sort of shrugged her off in Mists of Avalon - she annoyed me a bit and I did pity her just a little, but for the most part she made no impression.

Ooh! I can do #8 - the freaking obvious! Island by Jane Rogers. :-D

[fresica]

YES! I knew someone would HAVE to get it! :D

[egotists]

Gosh I must be incredibly stupid because I am completely blanking. Some of them sound gorgeous though

[fresica]

I'll do a post in a couple of days with all of the titles and authors - they're all really good, and definitely worth reading! :D

[riyirowe]

So, I recognized the Mists of Avalon, but I don't know if I would have known it. I probably would have recognized Middlesex, simply because you raved about it once. The rest of them I really don't know. Unless...is 1 Speak? By somebody Anderson? I have a feeling it isn't, but it makes me think of it, and it has been so long since I read that book I wouldn't know

[fresica]

It is so hard for me to watch because every episode I keep expecting them to just be unable to handle it anymore and shatter into tiny little pieces!
AHAHA! Uhm, yeah, about that... :P The poor boys do kind of get put through the ringer, don't they? I think any sane human being would have broken. (I guess it's lucky that you can't really qualify these two as 'sane' in the strictest sense.) But I have to say, I love Chuck! XD

(PS: Feel free to geek out about SPN here ANY TIME YOU WANT. I am more than willing to join flails and/or entertain rants. :D)

Yay for communal flailing and ranting! And (referencing your icon) I can sometimes see the Cas/Dean, but at heart I will always be a Sam/Dean OTP...as wrong as it is I just can't help myself. Even when they are falling apart, lying to each other, and not trusting each other.

Though that was one of the other things that I really liked about the episode with Chuck. You get to see a bit more of Sam's motivation. At least, what he is trying to convince himself is his motivation. He is trying to be the strong one for Dean. Trying to shoulder the burden so Dean doesn't have to. *sighs* My heart breaks for them.

Also, I just realized that I said I watched Jump the Shark, but I didn't actually talk about that episode, I talked about the one before it. And I can't think of the title of that ep. But Jump the Shark was good, too! With Adam, and Sam being all John-like. It was interesting character stuffs. And sad, because they had a brother they never knew about but he was already dead!
