Make Your Own Literary Paragraph Meme

Just a silly little book meme I found on Indigo Luna, who got it off of Faster Than Kudzu.

DIRECTIONS
1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

I pulled five books at random and here's what I came up with:

Which meant it was polite of him to examine her vulnerabilities while at the same time breathlessly not allowing them to get in the actual way. She gave the hoyer a quick pat, then the three of them walked on.

Can you guess any of the books? Here's where the sentences originated:

Book #1 - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Book #2 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling
Book #3 - Charmed to Death by Shirly Damsgaard
Book #4 - Polly's Ghost by Abby Frucht
Book #5 - Into the Green by Charles DeLint
