What a Card tagged me for a meme that I’m loving. I used to read a *lot* of books…nothing too intellectual, but lots of trashy romance, and lots of mystery. Writers who do both – love ’em! Young adult? You betcha. Now? I just can’t seem to find a lot of time. I always have a book that I’m reading, but it definitely takes me quite a while to get through it. An hour a week while waiting for Burke at his speech class just doesn’t cut it. ANYWAY…
Here are the rules:
Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences on your blog along with these instructions. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. Tag five other people to do the same.
As I’m looking around, I see (like WAC) lots of kids books. And none of them hit 56 pages. Luckily – I just brought my book in from the car and I know it’s on the oven and the closest (longest) book.
Here’s the fifth sentence (and more) from page 56 of Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts:
“Deal with it.” Cian dropped Glenna back on her feet, caught the fist aimed at his face just before it connected. “Do your business,” he told her. “Quietly. Then take off. Keep a lid on the magic. Both of you. King.”
Now, I tag:
- Goddess in Progress
- Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings
- Debi at Who Says 8 is Enough
- Cheryl at Twinfactuation
- Cat at Juggling Act of Life
Feel free to do it…or not 🙂
