What’s On Your Shelf?

I was tagged by Robinson County Post to do a book meme. Here’s how it goes . . .

  1. Grab the book closest to you.
  2. Open to page 123 and find the 4th sentence.
  3. Post the next 3 sentences on your blog.
  4. Name the book and the author.
  5. Tag three people.

Sounds simple, right? It would have been if the first book I grabbed didn’t start on page 145! The reason it starts on page 145 is so that you could read for 2 minutes, and if anybody asks you how far along you are you can say, “I’m on page 151 – and it’s really flying. It just sails, baby.” You’ll feel like you’re accomplishing something.

So after doing the math, this is what I ended up with . . .

I was recently out for dinner with my loved one and noticed a striking woman sitting a few tables over. Now, because I’m not an idiot, I made a point of not noticing her. She could have burst into flames — I’m telling you, I wouldn’t have noticed.

Couplehood by Paul Reiser

And I’m tagging . . . The Wilson Six, A Southern Girl’s Guide to Almost Anything, Sunny Days at the Beach and you! Let me know if you do this so I can come and visit!
