Welcome to November's Quizerama!

I know many of you are avid readers, so I thought this would be quite fun!

Simply send me the name AND the author of the book where you will find these opening lines

Send your answers AND the ID of the animal where you would like the points by 11.59pm 11/13/2022

Bonus Question: Send me your favourite book AND it's opening line to win a bonus 500 points

 

1.  Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy.

2. It is a truth universally acknowleged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

3. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

4. Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

5. In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.

6. Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?

7. When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.

8. The morning burned so August-hot, the marsh’s moist breath hung the oaks and pines with fog.

9.  In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

10. Call me Ishmael.

11. ‘Where’s Papa going with that axe?’ said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.

12. The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it.

13. Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.

14. When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold.

15. Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents’, grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

*whispers* guys don't forget to get full marks I need the title AND author.


I've picked up and messaged a few people, but I don't check them until after the contest has finished!

This was so much fun! You made my inner bookdragon very happy. And made my impossibly long must-read list that I will forever procrastinate on getting to even longer. =)
