Book Game
I forgot who sent me this game. I know, it’s supposed to be called a “meme”, but that recently-coined phrase always reminds me of a roomful of hyperactive 8-year-olds.
1. Open the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
As it so happens, there are TWO books equadistant from me. (Sounds like a math problem, doesn’t it?)
Killer Smile by Lisa Scottoline
“They were upstairs at the museum, and on the way over, Mary had called Frank Cavuto and Jim MacIntire again and left more messages. Skinny Uncle Joey wasn’t in either, and it gave her a pang of homesickness she was too old for. She considered calling home and asking her mother why she was so frigging thin, but stopped because she’d have to reveal she was on Pluto.”
Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L’Engle
“A successful businesswoman had the temerity to ask me about my royalties, just at the time when my books were at last making reasonable earnings. When told, she was duly impressed and remarked, ‘And to think, most people would have had to work so hard for that.’ I choked over my tea, not wanting to laugh in her face.”
Alas, I don’t know who to tag. I believe my blog-friends like The Clamster (aka Kasia) have already done this one…
