50

My brother-in-law turns 50 this weekend. So, in his honor, please pick up your nearest book or whatever book you’re currently reading, and turn to page 50 and then share the first 50 words with the rest of us.

(Do feel free to round this off, to stop and start with complete sentences, though.)


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    Is it sad that I saw 50, and my first thought was “Shades of?” My second thought was utter shame at myself, but I did have to share. Sorry… and Happy Birthday!

    Happy 50th to your brother-in-law! My 50 words are from A Game of Thrones and I was startled to discover that they were very appropriate for a birthday celebration. So come check it out:
