You Can Thank Mrs. Blogaway for this Post. :)

Since Mrs. Blogaway tagged me, it's a book meme today! (I'm NOT tagging you, hepsmom! Don't worry!)

What book are you reading right now?
Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee.

Last Book you read while on a plane.
Thankfully, my last plane trip was recent, so I can remember this. It was the 4:50 From Paddington by Agatha Christie.

Last book you read on a road trip.
Honestly, although that was just last month or so, I can't think of what or if I took a book. I may have only taken magazines. Come to think of it, I know I had a book, but maybe I had just started the Agatha Christie. Although it's a small paperback, I think I was reading it when I wasn't reading other things.

Most unusual place you've found yourself reading a book.
In a tree. When I was a kid visiting grandma and grandpa, I distinctly remember climbing a tree with my hoarded chocolate Easter egg I was nibbling (I wanted it to last forever), and reading.

What would you take with you on a two week trip to the beach?
I wouldn't be able to read the first week, I'd be in shock at being away for two(!) weeks!
I can't say, because I don't plan out my reading, I stumble across books or they are recommended to me. But rest assured, I'd have a stash of thick reading material!

Okay, I tag Lady Em, Bebe and Jenny if they want to play.

I've Been Memed!


Just when I wasn't felling very bloggy, Mrs. Blogaway swooped in and saved the blogging day by tagging me with a meme. At some point, I'm sure I will groan when I am tagged and may choose not to participate, but since this is the first time I've ever been tagged, (thanks, Mrs. Blogaway *gush*) well, here we go....


The rules are:


1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages

2.Turn to page 123

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next 3 sentences

Tag five people.


(Do I know five people in blogland?)


O.K., the nearest book to me that wasn't my husband's high school yearbook is, "Don't Throw it Out" Recycle,Renew, and Reuse to Make Things Last by Lori Baird and the editors of Yankee Magazine.

"When you come to the last 10 to 20 pages, insert a piece of cardboard over the back cover to protect it from the knife's blade. 6.Measure, mark and cut the pieces of felt the same size as the bottom and sides of the rectangular secret compartment. 7. Line the insides of the secret compartment with the felt, using the glue gun to apply enoughglue for the felt to hold the pages in place from the inside, while from the outside, the pages look like those of an ordinary book."


It would be fun to check other books to see what they say on page 123, after the 5th sentence.


Geesh.


Anybody got a life they could loan me? I need one.


I tag: hepsmom, that's life 2.0, lunanik, star magnolia and...Jules


You're welcome.
