Tagged Again!

I thought I would do the book tag since Sarah tagged me a few days ago.  So here goes...

1)  But as things are, nothing but grief is left me by my companions.

2)  However much an Aberdeen terrier may bear 'mid snow and ice a banner with the strange device Excelsior, he nearly always has to be content with dirty looks and the sharp, passionate bark.

3)  "No; but I don't know everybody yet.  I haven't lived here quite two weeks. 

4)  Whatever unfortunate entanglement my dear boy may have got into, I will never reproach him with it after we are married.

5)  Once, I had been taken to see some ghastly wax-work at the Fair, representing I know not what impossible personage lying in state.

6)  They are not holy.

7)  That hot toast soaked in soup was delicious, only there wasn't much of it, and as Father particularly like it, we had to leave it for him.

8)  "And sure as I am a Christian woman," said Mrs. Shelby, "you shall be redeemed as soon as I can any way bring together means."'

9)  "Now, you are a nice young fellow, ain't you?"

10)  But at last she said: 'Lords, you are weary and shall now go to your beds with such ease as can be contrived in haste.'

Hints:

1)  #6 is by a modern theologian - the sentence reflects the theme of the book

2)  5 of the authors are British

3)  #4 is in book form, but I don't know if it actually would be considered a book...

4)  One of the books is an English translation

5)  Two of the books are by the same author

And I don't know of any other blogs besides those that have already been tagged.  Did Sarah tag the Lambs?  Sorry, there's no way I can tag six people.

In Christ,

Noah
