I saw this game on another blog and I’ve always wanted to try it. It’s too fun!
Here’s how to play:
* Grab the book nearest you.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence. (Tell us the name of the book, too.)
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, or the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
We’ll wait a week for you to post what you find and then use the sentences to create a story. It’ll be fun, so get posting!!
