Number 2 I knew straight away, made me go all giddy.
Love love love Jane Eyre and pride and prejudice.
Thank you so much for popping by my blog and for your lovely comments. I am blessed with a great hubby and family. Hope you have a great weekend.

I've read PETER PAN and JANE EYRE, but the only one I guessed correctly here was the beginning to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
I got 2, 4 and 5. A classic first line can make the book!
I adore #3. :)
I love guessing things like this, but I usually mess them up, so really well done to anyone who even got one of them.
Christine: You're so right. Even just adding these to the post, I did a double-take on "Marley was dead to begin with." Despite knowing the story, I wanted to know how someone could be dead "to begin with". That alone would have kept me reading.
Eagle: I've read all the Chronicles, except "The Horse and His Boy", but "Dawn Treader" is one of my favourites. I think it's because Eustace learns so much, and grows so much as a character.
Eek - I only got Pride and Prejudice and Christmas Carroll

Hooray for great first lines.
I'm still hopping from the Pay it Forward Hop last week--I go slow, but I'm getting there. You've got some great stuff here!
Laura: Well done for getting those two!
Kristen: Thanks for stopping by :).
