Here's my submission for the meme I found on Exceedingly Mundane. Here are the rules. If you have a blog, and you're reading this---I want you to take a minute and play along! Or leave a comment if you're blogless.
You need to:
1. Pick up a book that is near to you
2. Go to page twelve in the book
3. Read the first two sentences and post it on your blog
4. Also post the book title and the name of the author
5. Tag 3 other peopleI say modify #3 to your liking---both Ex. Mundane and I both did more then 2
sentences!I have not been writing on my blog. What?! Yes, I haven't been actually writing much. I want to do it more, so I will. But if you know me and can see what time I'm posting this, you know I'm up past my own prime time. So another time. :-)
Yeah, glad you played along :) I'm with you, I would have totally put more than 2 sentences, those are just too short and leave you hanging :)
