I remember it more from the movie than from the book, though. =P <br /><br />#4 If my guess is right, then it's from a Lisa Kleypas Romance novel! <br /><br />#6 <i>Hamlet</i> indeed! <br /><br />#8 Definitely from Jane Austen. I know exactly what the novel is and where to find the passage in my copy. ;-) <br /><br />#9 Very likely from that children's classic which asks you to clap your hands. (One of my favourites!) <br /><br />I <i>know</i> I've read #1, but can't place it without Googling (which I won't do!). And #7 is famous and I feel I should know it . . . but of course I'm not sure, either. <br /><br />Great game, Suey! =DEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-40463462583378592532011-06-13T08:29:32.103-06:002011-06-13T08:29:32.103-06:00Sheesh!

Maybe???<br />2 The Book Thief<br />3 The Princess Bride???<br />6 Hamlet<br />Alright now that I'm typing out my answers I'm not so sure. Oh, and I know I should know what 4 is. <br />Fun Idea!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.com
