BOOKS POSTING GAME The sentence to describe your love life

[Sorrelfur]

So I'm not on tiktok very much and I think this trend might be old but I think everyone here would love it. Basically take the nearest book to you turn the page 30 and read the First sentence on the page. And that is your love life apparently. Bonus if you want to include what book it's from!

Mine is "Only the most desperate and most wealthy could consider it."

Book the Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered ladies by Alison Goodman

 

[Dusk]

Mine starts partly into a sentence, but it is: "that he was spoiling his only good suit; that the girl smelled quite dreadful..."

The book is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

 

[Manna Beast]

Just plain rude

"Maybe he figured if he didn't do it, nobody would, or maybe he was just trying to give the reviewers a helping hand; I don't know."

- The Princess Bride by William Goldman

 

[Wordsmith]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way–in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

"A Character's class is one of his most defining features." uhm.....well....guess I should have expected that from Pathfinder 1st Ed. Player's handbook. I could try one of the crafting books nearby haha!

"Yes, when a man grows old he has heard so much that is strange there's little more that can surprise him."

- The Man Who Came Early, Poul Anderson

Certain innuendos relating to the story title aside, I suppose that's true. Not sure how it relates to love though, but that's time travel stories for you.
