I was tagged by Liana for a book meme (haven’t done this in a long while, and I think the last time it was a book on CSS that I ended up posting from)!
The rules:
- Pick up the nearest book.
- Turn to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the next three sentences.
- Tag five people and acknowledge who tagged you.
I have a pile of books sitting close to me, the top of the pile (and nearest) is actually 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton, so let’s move down the pile, shall we? 
Next book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It’s all about following your dreams, and has been written in the form of a fable. It’s not something I’d usually read, but it is keeping my interest. (recommended to me by my daughter, Miss K).
That she was waiting for him, a woman awaiting a courageous man in search of his treasure. From that day on, the desert would represent only one thing to her: the hope for his return.
“Don’t think about what you’ve left behind,” the alchemist said to the boy as they began to ride across the sands of the desert.
Of course I never read one book at a time EVER, so I thought I’d mention that I’m also currently reading The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory. I’m glad it wasn’t the closest book next to me because I’m only on page 109 and I would have hated to read ahead (despite the fact that I’ll probably pass pg. 123 tonight, I try not to read ahead for any reason). I used to be really bad at reading the middle and end of a book before reading the beginning. Odd - I know!
I just finished reading Die with Me, a murder mystery by Elena Forbes and the next book on my list (for anyone still reading this) is The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O’Farrell.
HMMM - who to tag? I think I’ll pass on tagging anyone specific, mostly because I post so sporatically here that I doubt there are 5 regular readers left to tag. But if you want to let me know what you’re reading, please do so in the comments!
Of course between all this reading there is knitting. I am in the midst of all the little finishing details I tend to leave far too long, so I’m finishing a ruffle on one thing, FINALLY knitted the neckband on another (photos as soon as I can get Miss K to put it on), and some sewing of linings for some bags.
Then it’s onto new projects!
