What I’m reading
I’ve been tagged by Ann of Compensation Force with a new blogging meme.
Les Rules:
- Provide a list of the books you’re currently reading.
- Pick up the nearest book, and open it to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence, and post the next three sentences.
- Tag 3-5 more people by posting comments on their blogs.
- Link back to the person who tagged you. (It’s nice to leave them a comment, too!)
Les Books:
- One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus.
“What if” fiction based on a true event, when a prominent Cheyenne chief asked the U.S. government for the gift of one thousand white women in order to help his doomed people assimilate. - Why Mars & Venus Collide by John Gray
Which recently flew across the room, causing John Gray’s Martian head to collide with the wall. And hey, here’s a bit of John Gray intrigue… - Sahara Special by Esmé Raji Codell.
My daughter and I just finished reading this one in our Mother-Daughter Book Club (Esmé is a certified Readiologist. Really. Here is her very cute website. And here’s the quote, p. 123:
I could have cried from feeling scared, and I could have cried for being so terrible, for nearly making the meanest, most special boy in school explode.
But all I could think of was how it would be at least a week before I had a chance to snoop in his journal again. And how Miss Pointy was right: poetry is not for punks.
