Aw, don’t be shy! I’ll bet some of you know a few of these.
On another note, I just realized that #12 should start with an opening quotation mark: ”Where’s Papa going / both. In my copy of the book, it’s a large, decorative dropped capital W without the quotation mark, but in plain text it should have that punctuation.
I'll guess that #8 (In a hole) is The Hobbit. I know #1 #2 #11, but I'll let others speak up. I have a few wild guesses for the others but I don't want to embarrass myself. :)
Edit: For the book starting with "It is a truth", I have a feeling I'm going to kick myself when I hear the answer.
Yesss, you got The Hobbit correct,
@Frogster64! That's good that you know #1, 2 and 11. Let's see if others will be able to get any.
How about if I reveal two more words for #4 so that maybe you won't have to kick yourself: It is a truth universally acknowledged / uniting them.
@rachel8 said in #13:
> It is a truth universally acknowledged / uniting them.
Thanks! That sentence sounds familiar but I don't know which book it's from. :(

Okay, here comes the SciFi Edition! :D (Oh yeah, and the most recent of these dates from 1977...if that helps any.)

But haven't finished all its sentences yet. so you ruined the ending for me! hahaha
This is tough. Is #2 "The Martian Chronicles"? I have a guess for #4 and am embarrassed about my overall sci-fi ignorance. Maybe someone else will be able to contribute and cover for the rest of us.
#4 War of the Worlds, maybe?
No clue about the other ones.
