Stole this from both riyirowe and issahime Mine are from a lot of my favorite authors and contrary to popular belief I do not just read fantasy.

1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series'.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.


1) The Sun was already sinking into the deep green of the hills to the west of the valley, the red and gray-pink of it's shadows touching the corners of the land, when Flick Ohmsford began his descent.

2) Willie McCoy had been a jerk before he died. Being dead didn't change that.

3) "Sir, there is a transport leaving that sector tomorrow. My papers are in order, are they not?"

4) The story of Zenia ought to begin when Zenia began. It must have been someplace long ago and distant in space, thinks Tony; someplace bruised, and very tangled.

5) She sits in the corner, trying to draw air out of a room which seemed to have plenty just a few minutes ago and now seems to have none.

6) The silent witnesses lie everywhere, passing from one form of matter to another, gradually becoming unrecognizable to their nearest and dearest.

7) The room was very still except for the ticking of the little clock, which stood on the table in the hall and seemed to Marrion Warren to be tolling out the seconds one by one.

8) The wind howled. Lightning stabbed at the earth erratically, like an inefficient assassin.

9) In my basement, behind some bikes and suitcases and boxes, sits a Velvet Elvis. A genuine bought-by-the-side-of-the-read Velvet Elvis.

10) Her eyes were so sore and swollen from weeping that she thought by right she should have no tears left at all.
