Book Tag

I’ve been tagged by Miranda. I’m not really one for these pass-it-along-type of things, but like Mindy, I don’t want to be a party pooper. So here we go.

Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages)
2. Turn to page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog
5. Tag 5 people

The nearest book was A Feast For Crows, by George R.R. Martin. It’s the fourth and latest book in Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series. N. and I both read all of the books in the series last year. I know that some people write off the fantasy genre, but these books are such good reads: well-written, epic, intelligent, and a little bit edgy. (Readers with delicate sensibilities might find some parts objectionable, so don’t say I didn’t warn you!)

So, with all that fanfare, here’s the 5th sentence from page 123:

“Have a swift safe voyage, and take care of her and Aemon and the child.”

(TOTALLY worth all of that build-up, no?)

As for tagging others, if you feel so inclined, consider yourself tagged!
