More on books

Becca's tagged me for this quick, but interesting meme. It's fun to read the 3 sentences out of other books!

So here are the directions:

Grab the book closest to you.
Open to page 123
Scroll down to the 5th sentence.
Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog - name of the book and the author.
Then tag 3 people.

The book closest to me is The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, but there isn't any text on page 123, except for this: 1970.

So I'll grab the book underneath that one instead. Here are the 3 sentences,

Kerri glances over her shoulder at me. "You look like sh*t." "Thanks."

This is from My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Has anyone out there read this book yet?

And I'll tag: Andria at Boy Crazy, Pajama Mama, & Pamela at Just The Two Of Us

Someone else tagged me for this and all I found were Dr Seuss and Dinosaur books .... none of which had 123 pages!

Have you read My Sisters Keeper? Is it a good book? I clicked on the link and it looks good....can you tell me a little about it? I read a lot of mysteries and true crime, but I also read others.

Oh, I've meant to read that - is it any good?

Pamela said...

I haven't read My Sister's Keeper yet, I'm currently reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter, but as soon as I finish that I'll start on the other one.

It looks like a very thought-provoking book, one that would be good for book club discussions.

It's about this girl, Anna, who was concieved via preimplantation genetic diagnosis...for the intent of being a perfect blood/marrow match for her sister who has leukemia. She goes through surgeries, blood/marrow donations and feels like that is her whole existance. Then at 13 she's had enough when her parents want her to do a kidney transplant for her sister. She hires a lawyer to become medically emancipated from her parents and to make her own decisions about how her body will be used. Sounds like a great read!
