So I don’t think I’ll be able to go on any vacation this year…not unless someone wants to give me a place to stay and pay for airfare, lol!! Just way too expensive to fly out of the country. You’d think plane tickets would be cheap nowadays, but it’s still out of my price range. But I'll use the money I've been saving to....pay off my credit cards, so that's good right?

Well….better luck next year!


Anyways, on to better things! tagged me with this book meme to write down the first sentence of your favorite book, and I haven’t done it yet. Then tagged me again, only she went a step above and listed two books! So now, feeling competitive, I’ve added a new catch:

I’ve listed a few of my fav first lines…only I didn’t say which books they came from. Can you name them? Let’s see who can guess the most, okay?

1) “Cadel was in a very sour mood when he first met Detective Inspector Saul Greeniaus.”

2) “The primroses were over.”

3) “It was love at first sight. The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.”

4) “Some years ago there was in the city of York a society of magicians.”

5) “He rode into the dark of the woods and dismounted.”

6) “When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.”

7) “Amerigo Bonasera sat in New York Criminal Court Number 3 and waited for justice; vengeance on the men who had so cruelly hurt his daughter, who had tried to dishonor her.”

8) “Scarlett O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.”

9) “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.”

10) “Lady was as much a part of Lad’s everyday happiness as the sunshine itself.”
