It’s National Book Week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you. Go to page 56. Copy the 5th sentence as your status
(We’ve done something similar to this before, but it’s always fun, so … why not?)

HERE‘s mine – I doubled up and did both last week’s and this week’s together.
Sort of similar to my lovely, weekly teaser:
The book closest to me, is one by Aravind Adiga: http://florestadelivros.blogspot.com/2011/08/booking-through-thursday-semana.html

“It was just somewhere to stick my thigh.”
My BTT this week
Mine is: That’s all I knew, but a lot of crying happened, so I decided to join in because it seemed quite fascinatingly dramatic and tragic.
”A scuffle: maybe he’d tried to kiss her.”
From “Oryx and Crake”, by Margaret Atwood.
This was such a great question, I really loved it 🙂

this is fun! http://osoutrosmonologos.blogspot.com/2011/08/btt-semana-nacional-do-livro.html
I’m tardy to this party but I wanted to share anyway. Mine is from Possess by Gretchen McNeil and it’s “What if I just want to go back to being what I was before?” pretty awesome!
