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 comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog and to Storytime with Tonya and Friends at storytimewithtonya.blogspot.com
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Here's mine:
From : Under The Jolly Roger:Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber by, L.A. Meyer
The grizzled old seaman who has me around the neck puts rough lips against my ear and whispers," Ye would've gotten clean away from this Hell Ship, girl, if'n you hadn't stopped to save poor Billy, and me mates and me ain't gonna be forgettin' that."
Well, at the very least I shall have a few friends aboard.
I looked up L A Meyer, and was surprised to find the author is male. Seems unusual to me that he would write about a teen heroine - but I'm not an author, so what so I know?
