The books scattered around our home can reveal a bit about our us; our likes and dislikes, jobs, interests, fears or desires, various phases we have gone through in our lives. What stories do your books tell?
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Storytime With Tonya.
*Post a link along with your post back to Storytime With Tonya.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
This book was sent to me by a very good friend in hopes it would change my outlook on life like it did hers.

God on a Harley, by Joan Brady
Page 56, 5th sentence (bolded): ” ‘I know it isn’t easy,’ he whispered, ‘but it’s the only chance you’ve got if you want meaning and purpose in your life.’ I stood there mesmerized by this man who promised to show me the way to happiness. I wanted desperately to believe him, but I didn’t want to be disappointed anymore. ‘I won’t disappoint you this time, Christine,’ he whispered. His words fell on my heart like warm water on a block of ice, sending little rivulets of hope that streamed through my eyes.“ |

Don’t let the above passage misguide you – this is not a “love story” so to speak. At least not in the usual sense. I haven’t finished it yet, but so far it is having the effect she was hoping for…I think. :)
