I haven't seen a game like this yet, and it's one I enjoy playing just for the heck of it, so I thought I'd post it to the forums. Simple rules!

1. Pick up the nearest book to you
2. Go to the page number that the user above you posted
3. Write out the first full sentence on that page
4. Post a page number for the next person

Since there's no one ahead of me, I asked @bearsarkr to give me a number (97).

If Carson had killed the hunter and was, for whatever reason, putting the deed at Sedric's door, he wanted the man to know he could own up to it and Leftrin wouldn't think less of him.

Snowfall considered making her wake up, which was a thing a queen could certainly do, except then the queen would have to explain that she'd been freaked out by a bad dream and just wanted company, which didn't seem regal at all, really.
