Every Saturday we will bring you a short snippet from page 77 of a book. It might be a book one of us is reading or perhaps just the book closest to us.
The Rules:
- Pick up a Book (your current read, or the closest book to you, or your next read, etc)
- Turn to page 77(or 77% if you are on an e-reader)
- Find a Snippet, Sentence or Paragraph you like.
- Share it on your blog or Twitter or Instagram and link back to us (AusYABloggers) and use #77Saturday

I wrench open the screen door and it bashes against the cladding and I hear Mum's voice rising in the living room and I burst in ready to free Dad or throw my body in front of a bullet or lift a fridge off a baby or whatever it is you're meant to do in emergencies.
Sarah's Thoughts
Since I claim Clancy of the Undertow as the first book I actually saw myself in, I figured sooner or later I better do a 77 using it :-)
Banjo’s 1889 Drover and Christopher Currie’s 2015 lovable self-loathing newly out teen have nothing in common, other than my eternal love and a semi-unusual name.
