Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comment section of http://storytimewithtonya.blogspot.com
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Ok this is the first time I have ever done this so I hope I get it right.
Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, page 56, sentences 5, 6, and 7.
The lights are lowered. A hush falls over the crowd. There is no sound but the incessant tapping of cold rain against the martyred windows.
Hmm...well i'm not this far in the book yet so I have no idea what is going on in those few sentences. Not a very good teaser to get people wondering about the book if you ask me but those are the rules... Fun little game though. I like turning to a random page in the middle of a book I am about to start and reading a couple of lines. It is usually pretty interesting trying to figure out in my head how the characters are going to end up there.
Sounds eerie, but I like it.
