Nose in a Book

This one is so fun!  Basically you make a quiz about books.  I’ve tried everyone’s that is linked so far and they are HARD!!  (I didn’t comment unless I knew any answers…didn’t want to look like a dork just saying, “Uh, duh, I dunno…”)

So a couple people have given the first line in a book and you have to name the book.  I’m going to give you the last line.  All of these books are very well known.  Some are classics, some are definitely not.  Some should be really easy, some are harder.  All are novels but range from children’s to YA to adult fiction.  Extra points if you can provide the author without cheating!

1.  It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.  Charlotte was both.

2. And he leaned down to press his cold lips once more to my throat.

3. He raised his hand and over the desolate earth he traced in space the sign of the dollar.

4. ” ‘God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world,’ ” whispered Anne softly.

5. Oxen and wainropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: “Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!”

6. Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all too soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper.

7. I ran.  A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children.  But I didn’t care.  I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips.  I ran.

8.  And always Ender carried with him a dry white cocoon, looking for the world where the hive-queen could awaken and thrive in peace.  He looked a long time.

9.  The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years.  All was well.

10. But they never learned what it was that Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which had to do, for there was a gust of wind, and they were gone.

Good Luck!
