Happy Challenging,

Same Meme as Below: Take 2

I have already accomplished this meme, but have been tagged once again by a different person (The brilliant, organic, brilliantly organic African Bookworm). You can see the rules on the previous post, so I'm just going to go ahead and meme away. Who knows. Maybe this time I'll even tag someone...

I am currently reading Abhorsen by Garth Nix and Page 123: Lines 5,6,7,8 says....

"A black and tan dog not much bigger than a terrier, with huge feathery wings growing out of its shoulders.
At least it's a different dream, part of him thought. He had to be almost awake, and this was one of those dream fragments that precede total wakefulness, where reality and fantasy mix. It was his tent, he knew, but an owl and a winged dog!"

Waitwaitwait. I know that describes the Disreputable Dog, but since when did she/he wings? And who is Nick (I just read around those few lines to get some context)? Sorry to cut a post short everyone, but I must now read on and figure out how and when this happened.

I be taggzing...

1. Ink Mage (The Magic of Ink)
2. Tyto Alba (The Magic of Ink)
3. Jory (Jane & Jory Book Reviews)
4. Jane (Jane & Jory Book Reviews)
5. Courtney (Once Upon a Bookshelf)

Go to. Go to.

Best of luck in all your meme-ing delights.

Memified!

So here goes. Yet another meme. This time I have been tagged by the delightful and made-of-awesome Heather of Plenty of Paper Reviews! On to the rules, which have been copy and pasted directly from the POP blog.

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag 5 people and comment the person who tagged you once you've posted your 3 sentences.

Excellent. Well I have but one book near me (a opposed to Medeia ). Okay, on to the meme.. If I Should Die Before I Wake by Han Nolan says...

" I saw each day pass much the same as the last: hunger, death, new rules, new jokes, less food, and hot summer nights spent outside in the yard, gathered around the well, talking until dawn. Nothing surprised me anymore, nothing scared me , except deportation orders. Where were they sending those people they rounded up by the hundreds, even thousands, and shipped off to trains? Everyone had their guess, their story to tell, but no one knew for sure..."

That is incredibly sad. Holocaust books are so difficult to read sometimes. Agreed?

I tag... no one. But if you see this meme and would like to do it than do so and comment in the place set aside.

Subdued,
