BookWorm Award... Thanks Jill


I just received the bookworm award from my friend Jill at Jill's Believe It Or Not ... Even though I haven't known her very long I feel like she is like part of my family... Thanks for thinking of me Jill !!!

The rules for this blog are fun.
Pass this on to 5 blogging friends.
Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write the 5Th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that.




So here it goes...... The book closest to me is Twilight... This book is a book that is the talk of all... It is the first installment of a series of books about vampires... Those of you who know me know I am a HUGE Anne Rice fan and now it looks as if I will be following yet another author "Stephenie Meyers" with her little vampire coven... The story is about teenage vampires. For those of you who are Twilight followers the movies is going to be released on this coming Friday...

Page 56: 5th sentence:


tires locked and squealing against the brakes, spinning wildly across the ice of the parking lot. It was going to hit the back corner of my truck, and I was standing between them. I didn't even have time to close my eyes. Just before I heard the shattering crunch of the van folding around the truck bed, something hit me, hard, but not from the direction I was expecting. My head cracked against the icy blacktop, and I felt something solid and cold pinning me to the ground. I was lying on the pavement behind the tan car I parked next to. But I didn't have a chance to notice anything else , because the van was still coming. It had curled gratingly around the end of the truck and, still spinning and sliding, was about to collide with me again.

Since most people have already received this award... I am passing it on to any one who wants to take on the challenge. This means you to Justine

Now please excuse me while I finish reading my book!!!
Until Later
Hugs And Kisses Reading

    This book series has everyone buzzing. My son loves vampires but that is one genre that I haven't jumped into with both feet.

    I read one vampire book years ago and it scared me so much...well let's say I've never totally relaxed since then. It was Salem's Lot by Stephen King written in 1975. So you know how long I've been avoiding vampires.
