A Stolen Tag

So I was checking an old roommate's blog and found this tag. Her husband writes the blog, so I don't comment much, but like to check it just to see how the kids are growing. Anyway, he had been tagged for the following..

1) Grab the nearest book

2) Turn to page 123

3) Find and post the 5th sentence


So here goes....

"I crossed the yard without a glance back. That night, when the darkness was weighed down with singing crickets and Rosaleen was snoring right along with them, I had myself a good cry."

The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd

I included the sixth sentence since sentence #5 was a bit boring. I had never even heard of this book until a friend lent it to me. I'm only about half way through but enjoying it. We watched "Bee Movie" the other night and it was in there. Also, as I was looking for a cover picture, I found out that it will be a movie in 2009. It stars Dakota Fanning as Lily, Jennifer Hudson as Rosaleen, and Queen Latifah and Alicia Keys as the sisters. Should be interesting. Now I tag anyone who feels so inclined. It's fun to see what you all are reading (or rather what's near you).

Did you finish this book yet? I read it last summer and I really liked it. It wasn't what I expected, but I still liked it Hope you do too. It was fun to have you over, and yes, we need to do it again soon. Did you like 27 dresses?
