And a FIVE BOOK MEME from
Directions:
1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence: Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty: Such a lovely day!
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred: 'We were expecting you sooner,' Robert said.
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty: That should do.
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book: I took a taxi back to the shop, it was that kind of day.
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:
I took a taxi back to the shop, it was that kind of day. Such a lovely day! 'We were expecting you sooner,' Robert said. Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. That should do.
8. Feel free to "cheat" to make a better paragraph:
Alternatively: Such a lovely day! Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. That should do. I took a taxi back to the shop, it was that kind of day. 'We were expecting you sooner,' Robert said.

Book 4 – Jeanette Winterson – Oranges are not the only fruit
