[Katy-Del]

"Unless you actually LIKE the pain, in which case the physical abuse becomes a defendable form of medical research." pg 56, 5th full sentence of Why We Suck by Denis Leary.

It was the second book on the closest stack. The first book didn't have anything on the page 56.

[Isabel]

Oh, that's not fair! I'm at work and the closest book in Silverware of the 20th Century: The Top 250 Patterns. And page 56 is blank lol.

Here There Be Dragons by James Owens

"What is occurring today is a Great Council - all the kings of all the races of the Archipelago are coming together with the Parliament to determine who should assume the Throne."

Great idea, Amber!

OK, Amber, I'm curious: any significance to the 5th sentence of the 56th page?

Current closest-to-me book is Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

"Hours and hours she had spent on it and it was nearly finished."

[Amber]

No just a thing I got on Facebook! lol I suppose we could pick a different page and sentence number if you all want. How about pg 104 5th sentence?

"From the feel of presence,, I would have pegged him as the younger of the two, but I could have been wrong." Still reading Mona Lisa Blossoming by Sunny

From Daring Time by Beth Kery -

p. 56 - "She definitely sensed heat now coming from the smooth surface of the mirror and followed it unerringly."

p. 104 - "What's the last thing ya remember?" Sadie asked.

I haven't read it yet but just these two sentences adds to the usual cover blurb on the back. I'll have to start on it tonight.

(Update: Umm, this book is erotica. I didn't know that when I picked it up. I like them steamy but I try to draw the line at erotica. Ooops. LOL. I'm totally shocked Amber didn't get her "uh oh!" from these two sentences as it seems every other sentence in the entire book has it! LOL)

[BJ Rose]

Doing two pages from the same book is even better - presently reading Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh

p. 56 - "He kept hold, gently massaging the area around the wound, ensuring good blood flow."

p. 104 - "What are his precise coordinates?"

[Jael ~ *~ Syhren ~* ~]

p.104- "but it didn't lick you?"

Those two quotes together from Singh sound hilarious.

Coordinates? Um, upper left thigh?
