[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I just finished re-reading one of my favorite public domain books for the 4th time. I've taken the next quote from that book. It's now posted.

Remember that your book must have been finished after this point.

[Denise S]

Denise I woke up a couple of months ago and found out that I had been 35 when I went to bed...and got up as a 60 year old! I keep thinking that someday I will have to start acting my age, but what's the rush. And I am loving the over 60 discounts. My hubby thinks I'm crazy, but dang I've lived long enough to get them and I'm using them.

[Denise S]

that is correct - use them! men hate saving money apparently lol unless its on a car - but if it was a coupon to save money on a car they wouldn't use it go figure

[Leslie]

I finished Ghost Hunter by Jayne Castle

I will start off guessing "c"

[Denise S]

finished The Piccadilly Plot by Susanna Gregory

May I have an S please?

[Penni]

by Elizabeth Hunter

Is there an "E"

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Leslie, there are no Cs.

Denise, there are 3 Ss.

Penni, there are 8 Es.

[♦Ashley♦]

Finished The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey.

Are there any M's?

[⚜️XAR]

I finished Drive by Sidney Bristol last night, is there a D?

[VampAmber]

Just finished Prom and Prejudice (I've been such a sucker for Austen retellings lately).

Is there a P?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Ashley, there is 1 M.

Trea, there 2 Ds.

VampAmber, 2 Ps. (I LOVE Austen retellings!)

This one was pretty cute, but the best one I've read so far was definitely Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik. It felt exactly like Pride And Prejudice if it had been written only a few years ago instead of the 1800s.

[Yuvasri]

Finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Is there a C?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Leslie has already asked for any Cs. And S and P have been used as well. Sorry. You'll need to read another book to ask for a letter.

[Leslie]

Sara Humpreys' Unleashed

I would like to guess an "H"

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

There are 7 Hs, Leslie.

[Leslie]

Lanelle wrote: "There are 7 Hs, Leslie."

Oh good. I think I struck out the last two times.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Yeah, you did. But I wasn't going to point it out :)

[Leslie]

Lanelle wrote: "Yeah, you did. But I wasn't going to point it out :)"

lol, nice, thanks for thinking of me

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

No problem!

[ﾟ･*:.｡Pao]

I just finished Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, is there an N?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Pao, there is only 1 N. Kind of surprising!

[Leslie]

Untouched by Sara Humpreys

Are there any "U"s

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Leslie, there are 2 Us.

[⚜️XAR]

I just finished The Heir by Kiera Cass, is there a K?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

There is 1 K, Trea.

[Cindy]

Finding the Dream by Nora Roberts. Is there an F?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Cindy, there is no F. (Off to hang a body part!)

[Kathy]

I have finished Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom by Graeme Simsion.

Is there a G?
Is there an R?

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Kathy, there is 1 G and 5 Rs.

Lanelle, I hate to nitpick, but Kathy's post doesn't actually list the second book she read, just the author. One could assume she read either The Rosie Project or The Rosie Effect, but you know what they say about assuming anything! I would think she'd have to specify the book title before she gets a chance to guess an R for it, wouldn't she?

My apologies to all for not proofing my message before posting. I read The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, which was the source of my asking if there might be an R. I will be more careful in the future.

[Kathy]

To meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh, I really think that requires spirit.

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

That shows how tired I was last night when I updated the guesses. I didn't even notice!

But you got the quote right, Kathy. Congratulations! The quote is from Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

In the story, the main character, Judy, is relating how bad her day was: it rained when she wanted to golf, she banged her elbow, the dress she ordered was too small, the maid mixed up all her school papers, she didn't like the dessert served at dinnertime, the students were kept at a lecture longer than usual, and to top it all off, someone interrupted her reading The Portrait of a Lady.

That's when she says, "It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires SPIRIT."

Nowadays, we say, "Don't sweat the small stuff!" Someone was nice enough to write a book about it :) (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff)

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

A new quote has been posted. It's a long one.

Remember that your book must have been finished after this point.
