I've been tagged!

I feel so popular now ;)


This is different from most of the tags I have seen, so I hope this is interesting for you!

Here it is:
1. Pick up the nearest book to you (one 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.

" 'You sure you don't want a day off?' he asked.
She shook her head. 'Can you feel that?' She asked, pressing his hand against her belly.
Andrew nodded. Becky closed her eyes and leaned against her husband's shoulder as the baby swam inside of her. "


I love to read, as I think most friends/family know about me, and typically finish most novels within a day or two. If I find a story that I love I will buy the book for myself (I "rent" from the library first) so I can read it over and over! This excerpt is from Jennifer Weiner's Little Earthquakes, a book that I have easily read 4 times. The first book I read of Jennifer's was "In her Shoes" (they based the movie of the same name on this story) and I went in search of other's like it. I think all new mom's should read this book, it is so honest in it's portrayal of the highs and lows of being a mom for the first time. It has sad parts as well as funny parts, and overall I just love it.

Now to be honest it was on the bookshelf in Sam's room, so not really the closest to me, but the closest books are all the kids books, so there is nothing out here with even CLOSE to 123 pages!! So I cheated a little and picked the book I read most recently. I will check out the books that my "tagg-ees" list to see if I can find my next book!
Now, I tag Deborah, Kale, Monica, Holly and Ang.

You're allowed to cheat! I got tagged with that one too, I thought it was fun.

I just commented on your other blog as well, but in case you don't have my blog address, here it is: raffertyhouse.blogspot.com. I think I invited you a while back but if you can't get in, let me know.

I'm excited I found you, I love keeping up with the cousins this way!
