Chatterbox: Blab About Books
Book Quotes!
Okay, here's my...
Okay, here's my first book quote:
"Only two hours," she sighed. "That will be half past one; Mother will be at Cousin Ann's, the children at home will have had their dinner, and Hannah cleared all away. I have some lunch, because Mother said it would be a bad beginning to get to the brick house hungry and have Aunt Mirandy have to get me something to eat the first thing.-It's a good growing day, isn't it?"
First one to guess the book gets to post the next quote! Good luck! If no one guesses it by the 20th, I'll post another quote.

Here's another quote from the same book. I'm recalling this from memory, so it might not be perfect. This should help you a bit....
"Naturally, Camaro wasn't supposed to be in the boys' restroom, but the last person who pointed this out to her now ate their meals through a straw."

Are we supposed to guess that quote?
(July 18, 2011 - 8:58 am)
I posted another quote that you have to guess....they're both from the same book. I just returned the book to the library. Who wants to know what book it was?
(July 18, 2011 - 1:33 pm)
You have until 1:00 to guess! That's when I'm returning the book this quote is from to the library. KEEP THINKING!

Eek! we're almost out of time!!!

I know what book that quote is from... if no one else can guess it, I will say it. You guys try to guess it first because I don't feel like posting 2 quotes.
And my quote: "We'll get in. A gnome once predicted we'd meet in Gnome Caverns."

@Analesia: If you know, by all means say the answer! I thought that was the point!

@Analesia- *is guessing* Gail Carson Lavine... Fairest? That has something to do with gnomes... Wait or was it dwarves?
(July 19, 2011 - 10:57 am)
No, it was gnomes. I think you're right.
@Princess P.: I have never read The Mysterious Benedict Society except maybe when I was very small but I have possibly read a page or two.

@ Elizabeth M.
You're right! Go ahead!
@WritingWarrior
OK. It's from Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, right?
(July 19, 2011 - 4:29 pm)
Nope.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
(July 20, 2011 - 7:21 am)
@WritingWarrior: Oh, I remember the one about Camaro! It was from The Magnificent 12, right?

DING DING DING! We have a winner! Congratulations, Alexandra! You have not just won a flat-screen TV, an RV, and tickets to the movies "Pie Wars: The Legacy" and HP7 Part 2, but also the chance to post the next quote.....
(July 20, 2011 - 10:40 am)
Yay! Flat-screen TV and Pie Wars! I cut the names out of my quote because they're really easy to recognize.
