I had a friend post something called a Tag that I have never seen before. This one looked kind of fun. I think what happens is that I post something and then name five people, and then they post their own version of it (if they want). If I tag you, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I used Northanger Abbey. It was the closest book to me and it is the book that my Relief Society is reading this month for a book club. I haven't started yet, but I have read it before. I think it is the most underappreciated Jane Austen book. It was one of her first that she wrote, but wasn't published until after she died. You can tell by reading it, that Northanger Abbey was one of her earlier books. The first time I read it, I didn't like the main character. I thought she was silly. But my second read (and my third) I liked her a lot better and enjoyed the book immensely Also, the new BBC version that aired on PBS in January is really good. Northanger Abbey is quite different than any other Austen book and makes it that much more intruiging. Anyway, back to the Tag...
Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages).
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog
5. Tag 5 people
Book: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
"The utmost care could not always secure the most valuable fruits."
Tag: Emily, Crystal... I guess that's all because I don't have any other friends on blogs! (besides Kim who already has this on her blog).

Nice work Allison! I've never read that book, or heard of it for that matter. I need to read it, or at least watch the TV movie. You know how I love a good Jane Austen story! :) Ahh..good times watching Pride and Prejudice late into the night!
I've never read this one either... perhaps when I'm ready for another Austen read I'll pick it up.
Sounds like you guys have a fun filled couple weeks ahead, enjoy!
