This is a thing that I’ve run into elsewhere that was greatly appreciated by myself. If you’re reading this, consider yourself tagged.

Get ready for some random ideas
1. Pride and Prejudice (something tells me it’s from something else, but I might be right)
2. Sassy. Hmm. Is this the part in Fahrenheit 451 where Montag talks with Clarisse?
3. The only wolf story I can remember off the top of my head is The Wolf Wilder. This probably isn’t even a wolf-focused story, but I’ll guess The Wolf Wilder because I want you to look it up and read it. It’s so good.
4. I’ve never read Robin Hood, but maybe it’s from a Robin Hood book. It’s easy to imagine Little John saying something like this.
5. I think I’ve read this line in Mary Poppins.
6. Alice in Wonderland
7. Something by E. Nesbit
8. A lovely quote, but I have no ideas. It’s much too specific to throw out a random book title XD
9. I know this isn’t from My Side of the Mountain, but it reminds me of that book.
10. Screwtape Letters or maybe My Dear Hemlock. I’ll guess the former.
…I am 99 percent sure I got none of those right, but it was fun to browse my memory :p

This is precisely why I picked vague quotes. Need good book recommendations. XD
Hmm, looks like you got a few right. I shall refrain from sharing answers for a day in case someone finds this randomness.

Unfortunately, I helped you pick these quotes so I can’t play this round. I will stalk this place until the next round. 😁

I only know 8, because if I am correct, it is from one of my absolute favorite short stories. Is number 8 from The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe, said by Ollister Pembrick?
This way, then that way, and that way twice, and that way again, and then the same, but BACKWARDS!
Welp, I know some of them.
2) Edmund from Prince Caspian
6) One of the Feechiefolk from The Secret of the Swamp King
9) Morley the cooper from Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione
10) Screwtape from The Screwtape Letters
@koshka
Here’s the ones I think have a chance:1. Hmm, sounds like Pride and Prejudice.
3. Dracula?
4. My best guess is King Lear, although that’s a play and not a book. Still, the ‘Tom Fool’ sounds close to ‘Poor Tom.’
10. Is it Screwtape Letters?
“He sure is a frog-walker, he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings for to be on the fly.”@whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon @beth-torres @power @theshadow
Alrighty Y’all! Time for answers.
1. Elizabeth, Pride and Prejudice
2. Edmund, Prince Caspian, Narnia
3. Aragorn, The Fellowship of the Ring, LotR
4. Francis, Men of Iron
5. Halt, The Ruins of Gorlan, Rangers Apprentice
6. A Feechie, Secret of the Swamp King, Wilder King Trilogy
7. Lug and Aran, Urchin of the Riding Stars, Mistmantle
8. Ollister, The Wooing of Sophelia Stupe, Wingfeather Tales
9. Motley, Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione, Knights of Aerethtrea
10. Screwtape, Screwtape Letters

Whaley got 2 (very close with Robin Hood though. Same author)
Beth got 1 (Stabbish!!)
Power got 4 (Feeeeechiiiiiiiieeeee)
Shadow got 2 (so now Aragorn is in Dracula….hmmm)
Overall I am impressed by how many knew Screwtape, and y’all’s quoting powers. I didn’t pick easy quotes. Congratulations to all.
@Power, tag you’re it!A cup of tea is cheaper than therapy.
1) “in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.”
2) “It will be rather a bore, I expect. Love and marriage, and all that sort of thing, is rather a necessary nuisance in its way.”
3) “Blistering barnacles!”
4) “Be off with you, or I’ll blow up the barricade!”
5) “Soldier, why wear’st thou that glove in thy cap?”
6) If you tell stories, you like nothing so much as to tell them to people who want to listen.
7) “The probability lies in that direction”
8) “If you want to bless me you can bless my bottom, for it is sticking out of the hole.”
9) “Why, a stag is called a brocket until he is three years old, at four years he is a staggart; at five years a warrantable stag; and after five years he becomes a hart royal.”
10) “I don’t know who it is,” she said; “but somebody cares for me a little. I have a friend.
1) I think this is from the Bible. I’m guessing the book of Ezekiel. It sounds Minor Prophety.
2) I have no idea.
3) This could be several people. Augh. I know the Captain from Tin-Tin says it, but as for anything more specific, I’m at a loss. It could also be Padra from the Mistmantle Chronicles.
4) Les Miserables?
5) It’s from Henry V, I am pretty certain about that. It’s Henry addressing the angry soldier, I think.
6) Very true. It sounds like Lewis to me, so I’m guessing one of the Narnia books even though it’s not bringing a scene to mind.
7) So iconic. I’ll guess… Oh, I know it’s not Ben-Hur. Ugh. Um… The Last Archer?
8) Prince What’s His Name from Watership Down
9) …Children of Newforrest.
10) Awww. Sarah from A Little Princess.

I have read The Wolf Wilder. I am in love. It was beautiful. The feel was perfect–soft, rough, snowflakes and whimsy, gold and fur. And the end… *howls*. It’s been some time since I’ve read a new book with that level of perfection.
Thank you much for recommending.

XD I am glad to have brought you some joy! That book is beautiful. The descriptions are top-tier and it has that old fairytale roughness to it.
