Rules:
* Grab any book, your favorite...one on the shelf
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write that sentence and what book it is from.
* Don't go looking for your favourite book, or the coolest one you have -- just grab the closest one.

In appearance the Atlanteans were fairer of skin than our desert peoples, and some possessed golden hair and blue eyes.

"The picture, elegantly framed, came safely to hand soon after Mr. Elton's return, and being hung over the mantelpiece of the common sitting-room, he got up to look at it, and sighed out his half sentences of admiration just as he ought; and as for Harriet's feelings, they were visibly forming themselves into as strong and steadn an attachment as her youth and sort of mind admitted"

 

(Holy cow that's a long sentence!!)

I had to read this statement twice because the first time I was trying to figure out what your note to self was and then I realized, oh, she is telling us the line in the book.  ~Gigi

LOl, True Gigi. I went down to the fifth sentence of the book and that's all it said. It was also the last page of that chapter.

The sentences in this book are rather lengthy!  I am using this as a Bible study companion for my daily devotions.  (Book review coming soon!)

I followed the rules on the first book I quoted.  It was sitting  near my keyboard.  My computer is in my study/retreat so after the first book I began pulling books that I have read off my shelves.  ~Gigi
