Here are the rules:

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

The closest book to me right now is Bo's Cafe which I started on last night. Here's my sentence(s):

"She looks so totally at peace and comfortable with herself in the midst of a noticeably younger crowd. She is tapping away at a laptop. She glances over and gives me a kind smile and nod. Andy notices my staring as he returns to the table."

Be watching in the next few weeks for a review of this book. :o)

Friday 56

I found a new meme today that looked like SO MUCH FUN! :o) It's called the Friday 56, and it's hosted by Storytime with Tonya and Friends. Here are the rules:

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

So here's what I've got... It's from A Place in the Sun by Michael Phillips.

By the time we got through the door, Pa was already in Mr. Royce's office. His voice was loud enough that you could hear it through the whole building. Everyone else's business had ceased, and they stood stock-still with wide open eyes, listening to the argument going on in the next room.

This book is book 4 in the Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series. I've only read the first 2 in this series, so I can't really say anything about this particular one. However, I can say that if you've never read anything by Michael Phillips, you are missing out on a real treat. He writes some great historicals that you can tell he's done some research on. I would also highly recommend one of his newer series--Shenandoah Sisters. Those four books are some of the best books I've read set during the Civil War that I've read in a long time.
