This is called Finish the Quote.
We provide the beginning of a sentence, a quote from a book, and you are invited to finish that sentence with a fragment (or complete sentence) from another book. (It may be another book by the same author, but it cannot be from the same book.) The new sentence has to make linguistic sense, if not literal sense.
Our first prompt is:
"As she rode up to take a look, "
A Point of Honor by Dorothy J. Heydt
You might respond with this --
"the man in black retreated, stumbled, got his balance, continued moving away."
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Completed new 'quote' -
As she rode up to take a look, the man in black retreated, stumbled, got his balance, continued moving away.
***
We ask that you make all quotes HOL-appropriate and keep this in mind when choosing a book to use (though we understand that it's not always possible to pick one that's entirely g-rated).
Participation in this activity may contribute to your chances of snagging a Book Club award AND you will receive 10 Beans when you respond within the time limit (before the next prompt is posted).
If you have any suggestions for prompts, please send us an email at hol.bookclub @ gmail.com (removing the spaces) with the subject "Finish the Quote Suggestions".
