This is an idea I borrowed from the Romance Bandits Blog with the kind permission of Anna Sugden. All you have to do is answer the following questions:
1. Which novel are you currently reading?
2. What is the opening line of the book?
3. What are the hero and heroine’s names? (on the remote chance you’re not reading a romance, give the name of the main character).
4. Turn to Chapter 9 and give us the sentence that starts on or about the 22nd line.
5. What’s next on your TBR pile?
Here are my answers:
1. One Night With a Laird by Nicola Cornick
2. It took ten minutes to cross from the Edinburgh New Town to the Edinburgh Old Town in a carriage, and for all of those ten minutes Jack had an almost uncontrollable erection the like of which he had never experienced before in his life.
3. Jack Rutherford and Lady Mairi MacLeod
4. Jack grinned. “Sexual profligacy? Sounds interesting. Tell me more.”
5. Elizabeth Hoyt’s Duke of Midnight
1) Been Loving You too Long by Seraphina Donavan (new author to me(
2) Vincent Duchamps was tired. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so exhausted. It had probably been at some point in his early twenties and had involved copious amounts of liquor in a Bourbon Street strip club, he thought grimly.
3) Vincent and Ophelia
4) The questions uttered about honeymoons did have him thinking.
5) The Embattled Road by J.M. Madden (new author to me)
Thank you for sharing, Victoria. 🙂
I can’t wait to read that book, Carol! Tweeted.
Thank you, Ella. 🙂

But they learnt, on inquiry, that its possessor, an elderly lady of very good character, was unfortunately too infirm to mix with the world, and never stirred from home.
5. What’s next on your TBR pile?
The Beast of Renald (Amber Dane)
Thank you for sharing, Violetta. This did seem like a fun idea and it is interesting to hear what others are reading.
I love this game. Fun and easy 😀
1. “Dark Champion” by Jo Beverley
2. “Imogen of Carrisford stood in the dark cold, shivering at the muted sounds of horror”
3. Tyron FitzRoger and Imogen of Carrisford
4. “Then she remembered her father’s warning that it was not wise to flaunt wealth before princes”
5. At least 10 medieval romances in the queue. I haven’t decided yet! 😀
Glad you like this new idea, Cassia. It’s simple but fun as you say.
1. LADY JENNY’S CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT by Grace Burrowes
2. Either Lady Genevieve Windham didn’t recognize Elijah Harrison with his clothes on, or she had reserves of self-possession he could only envy.
3. Jenny and Elijah
4. She’d liked the position he’d put her in, once she’d gotten used to it.
5. A MAN ABOVE REPROACH by Evelyn Pryce
This was fun and I have to admit I’m reading this on my Kindle so instead of going to “chap 9, line 22” I initially went to location 1850 which was the mid-point of the book. Well line 22 and those close around were so explicitly sexy I couldn’t bring myself to post them on your blog. So I arbitrarily picked location 1500 and although the line is suggestive it is not as scorching as the other. PHEW! it is much too early here in NY to be fanning myself. Okay…so it’s never too early.
Dot, you do realise I’m going to have to buy that book just to read exactly what was so explicit that you couldn’t repeat it on this blog!!!!
What position was she in? I NEED to know!!
Update…
I just bought this!
You won’t be sorry, it’s a fabulous read.
