So, it appears as if Ms. Chicki took it upon herself to tag me on Friday. Just my luck I went over to her blog today and noticed that I'd been tagged. Rats!
So, here are the rules:
1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open to page 123, look down to the 5th sentence.
3. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog.
4. Include the title and the author's name.
5. Tag 3 people
Well, I just went to the bookstore last night in hopes that the February books would hit the shelves early. I went looking for L.A. Banks' The Wicked and Ann Christopher's Risk. L. A. Banks' newest wasn't on the shelves. But I got a hold of Ann Christopher's Risk. I loved her first novel, Trouble. And I can't wait to read her newest release. So I put it on top of my toppling over to-be-read pile. So, guess which book is closest to me right now. That's right, Risk! Give yourselves a round of applause.
"Her mind veered off onto the times she'd asked Ronnie if they could vacation somewhere else besides Martha's Vineyard, only to be shot down. And the times she'd wanted to try a new restaurant or play or DVD, only to have Ronnie talk her out of it. And the times—way to numerous to count—she'd tried to talk with him about her day or her clients of her pressures, only to have him roll his eyes and say she didn't know anything about pressures because she didn't have people's lives in her hands like he did." ~ Ann Christopher, Risk
Dang… Now I really want to read this book. Can't wait! If it is anywhere near as good as her first release, Trouble, then I am in for a treat. Ann will be visiting my blog for an interview in March. SO be sure to check that out.
Now, I have to tag three people huh… well… since Elle is always tagging folks, I'll tag her. And I do believe Kari has tagged me before. And, how about Michelle to round it out...
Have fun ladies ;-)

Snort. The book closet to me right now is one of yours!!!!!!
I miss you! Hugs and kisses.
Hey Jen!
I miss you too! Hopefully, I'll see you on Saturday... I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
I've never Ann Christopher. Now you've got my curiousity percolating even though the TBR tower next to my bed is already leaning like Pisa!
Thanks for being a good sport!
I've never read Ann either, Gwen. I'll have to check her out.
Hey Chicki and Tyhitia! You should definitely check Ann Christopher out. Her first book, Trouble, was great. And like I said, I can't wait to read her next one. She even has a third release coming in March from Kimani Press that looks like it is going to be a great read. :-)
So now I HAVE to go to the bookstore. Thanks for the tip!
Wow that book sounds great.
And, man, I guess I'll do what I'm reading right now. Stevi Mittman's Why is Murder on the Menu Anyway? Should be fun.
Patricia ~ Yay! The bookstore! (grin)
Kari ~ Stevie's book sounds great. I love that she's doing a series with them. I need to catch up on the rest of them. Oh... and now I'll never tag you again... well, unless you tag me... (evil laugh)
Don't tag me! I'm on my husband's computer and the closest book is his Tom Clancy.
:O
Don't worry, Kimber An. You're safe. For now... (more evil laughter....)
Ahhh! Okay, I'll run and get my copy of 'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me' just to be safe.
I wish I could see you all on Saturday, but I'm afraid I'm gonna be snowed in. Hope not though!
Gwyneth, I really enjoyed Ann's Trouble, too. I'm looking forward to reading both Risk and Just About Sex, her March release from Kimani. I love the idea of tagging people to preview books, too. Sounds like fun.
Nancy ~ I may not make the meeting either... bummer... I'm going to try though...
Patricia ~ I'll tell you with all these great books coming out, whenever will I find time to write. ;-)
Oh that's a cool concept. A great way to show what you read and give other authors exposure. I haven't picked up Ann Christopher, but I tell you what, I definitely will on my next trip to the bookstore (or Amazon shopping spree).
Hey Kimberly!
Yeah, I thought it was one of the cooler tags going on in the blogesphere.
I started reading Risk last night and the only reason I stopped was because my eyes refused to stay open and I had work in the morning. It is turning out to be just as good as Trouble. So, you should check Ann Christopher out for sure. :-)
I'm going to do this. Late, but done :-)
Girl -- I just saw the tag -- I know I'm all late. (At least this is an easy one; a no-brainer. I'll post in the am --
Michelle ~ Yeah, I figured most of the people I tagged would have a book sitting around them somewhere. LOL. And I figured you wouldn't mind being tagged, even though you have never tagged me before. And don't feel like you need to do so in the future... ;-)
You know I have to return the favor! :-)
This excеllent ωebsіte certainly has all the informаtiοn
I wanted about this subjeсt and dіdn't know who to ask.

Amazing blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform
like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there
that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt,
you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough people
are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I
stumbled across this in my search for something regarding this.
