Serenity tagged me; my mission is as follows:
- Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
- Open the book to page 123
- Find the fifth sentence
- Post the next three sentences.
- Tag five people.
OK, here goes. The nearest books to my computer are in the kid's school library basket (as opposed to the county library basket--sometimes we even manage to keep them separate!). This doesn't bother me at all because I still secretly (OK, openly) read middle grade/YA fiction. This also happens to be where a lot of my own fiction ideas would probably fall if sorted by the publishing world's magic marketing eight ball.
The top book is Ella Enchanted, a Newbery Honor Book by Gail Carson Levine, a funny and worthy selection that I happen to have read.
The fourth and fifth sentences (for context, as Serenity says) are:
This had to be Lucinda. There was every sign of it.
The next three sentences:
She had probably bestowed a gift on the newlyweds that was as gladly received as mine had been.
"Lady..." I called, my heart pounding.
She didn't hear me.
I'm hoping that these lines do not hold secret meaning for me as Serenity's sentences did for her. If so, I sense doom, sarcasm, and failure. Oh well.
In any case, I tag Amy, Dennis, Andrea, Trish, and Tom.

I've done. Though I don't know five other bloggers whom you haven't tagged or been tagged by. Also, I couldn't figure out the html to clever link mine in the comment as you did, so http://dennsmusings.blogspot.com/2008/02/tag-im-it.html
