Meme Part One

I've been tagged and since I'm a good girl, I do as I'm told (though I truly need to be writing my ficathon piece. You do realize ivydoor, that I was just getting to a smutty bit? You are the one denying the world. Hope you're proud of yourself.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.



I closed the kitchen door behind us, nuked the gravy boat, and turned to Joyce. "What's going on?"

"I realized I was going about this wrong. We're both looking for Dickie, right? But you have Studman out there working with you. That gives you a real advantage over me. So instead of forcing you to butt out, I'm going to stick to you like glue. You and Studman will find Dickie for me."

So, I cheated and did eight sentences. It finished the paragraph. I have three in my whole book collection of what I would consider "intellectual books". Mostly I read romance novels. But it's the Stephanie Plum time of year and I should be finished with this one already but the ficathon has occupied me as well. Everyone should read the Plum books. Start with the first one. It's not necessary but a whole lot more fun.

I tag whoever wants to do it as I REALLY need to get back to writing. I'll most likely do the 28 Questions thing later.

LMAO, oh that is fun. Random excerpts of books FTW. I'm so skanking this *g*

I was supposed to tag five people and tagged no one, so it's more than fine.

You're the second person on my flist to pimp out Plum. Now I'll ask the stupidest question ever - what's the title of the first book so I can go grab it? (I assume, given the titles of the other books, something with One in it...)

Also, I hope someone remembered to give you my little gift... such as it is.

It's called One for the Money. I could run down the other eleven titles (well thirteen if you count the two Between the Numbers novellas) too if you want.

I haven't got anything but then again I haven't signed into AIM since Wednesday since I'm trying to get my ficathon piece done. And it's going to be done today. Hopefully in the next couple of hours. Hopefully my lovely betas will give me a quick return. *bats eyes*

Ooh, thank you, that would be lovely. I usually grab all my books from the local dusty cave known as the Bookmine - I'll take the list with me next time I make a book run.

I'll send you a link via email, if you'd like a pick me up. ;)

I've seen the "special" picture for a certain someone and the one for you, if that's what you were talking about. I will e-mail you the list. And be expecting another one later tonight with written smut that needs proofing.

[swankkat.livejournal.com]

Nope, this is all for you, although I did show it to our someone beforehand in hopes she'd approve and pass it along. I sent you an email to the address in your LJ profile. :)

Well since I've already been tagged by both teskafuture and humansrsuperior I'll definitely have one up on my journal. :)
