I'm in the mood to pass the time by playing games, so I thought I'd post a new game! :D

This is a simple game that can cause a few giggles. I'll start us off with a quote from a random book. Then, I'll post a page number and sentence number. Whoever posts next, will post a quote from the same page/sentence number I provided (it can be from whatever book you want). After you write your quote ,be sure to add a new page/sentence number!
