I thought that was a really good beginning & I've enjoyed it (I've left most of my thoughts in..."

Those are words to live by, Tien.

Bea wrote: "Would The Day Lincoln Was Shot work for L Name in Title? If so, I will take that one as I have the book out of the library."

I think the final say from Tien was that it has to be the given (or first) name of a main character in the book. Since Lincoln is his sur name, I don't think it will work. :)

I can give you First name F and First name I, though.

OK, Lynn. I will add it back to the list.

It is yours Kay!

Unfortunately, Kay, Vi has already reserved Title beginning with G in the Scripts Tower (Planning) thread. If you would like to see what is still open, here is the link:

Wow, what a great way to start a book. I can't wait to hear where that one goes, Tien.

Thanks Amy.

p. 46:

"Agatha Christie is rolling in her grave, Father," was all my disapproving aunt Muriel could say.
"I daresay she is, Harold!" my grandmother joined in.
"Agatha Christie..."

Wow, Susan. What a great, powerful, but at the same time, sad quote.

I snuck in behind D.G. and threw a bomb through the hole she made with her pick-ax with The Witness by Nora Roberts for 2012. I finished the book on 2/3/2013

I've got a 849 page one going, but I am only half-way through.

Or the beginning, or page 46 or 46% through, or somewhere, but there is SOMETHING in the book that is quote-worthy, so leave it here for us all to enjoy.

Wow Coralie - that is a HUGE book. It should take out a good chunk.

Cool

That happens to me, too, sometimes Sherri. They all look so good, then I go back and think, "When did I add that one?"
