Fun game- grab the book nearest to you RIGHT NOW

[Jessica]

Right now I'm sitting next to my suitcase which has two books in them so I guess since I can't say which is closest I'll do both:

first book:
"Nearby, the homeless guy the kids knew as 'Fenster' farted quietly, asleep on a park bench festooned with a little plaque reading WE MISS YOU, ANDRE/9-11 NEVER FORGET/MOM AND DAD." - WTF by Peter Larangis


second book:

" OF course, he was just holding my hand because he was leading me." - Glimmerglass by Jenna Black
in case anyone is wondering, I would definitely recommend Glimmerglass, even though the sentence above seems dull.

pg. 111 in The book closest to me is the last page of a chapter and only has seven sentences on it, so I continued on to pg. 112 to get to eleven.

Page 111 in this book is a chapter opener, and only had "Nine" written on it, so I'll just go to the next page. :)
