Emmie (Emmas Dilemmas & Great Expectations) has bestowed this award on me, how kind is she? Thankyou Emmie. x
Now there's rules with it
Rules: Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 46. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences. The closest book, not the coolest, or the one you think will sound the best. THE CLOSEST
The closest book to me at the moment is 'The Boy in Striped Pyjamas' by John Boyne, so here's the sentences from page 46.
'Yes, Father,' said Bruno.
'You were a help to your mother and sister in closing the house?'
'Yes, Father, said Bruno.
'Then I'm, proud of you,' said Father approvingly. 'Sit down, boy.'
He indicated a wide armchair facing his desk and Bruno clambered onto it, his feet not quite touching the floor, while Father returned to his seat behind the destkand stared at him. They didn't say anything to each other for a moment, and then finally Father broke the silence.
'So?' he asked. 'What do you think?'
'What do I think?' asked Bruno. 'What do I think of what?'
'Of your new home. Do you like it?'
I decided to read this book when we returned from Krakow and our visit to Auschwitz and Berkenhau, as that is where the book is set.
Now I have to pass it on to five bloggers. No pressure, do it if the mood takes you.

Seems like a variation on a meme theme that made the rounds a while back … with a ‘sexy’ twist ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Wasn't this book made into a movie? I thought I saw something about that recently.
Oh fun! Thank you for the award and the tag - I think this will be an easy one!
At least I hope so!
It looks like a good book top read. Thanks for the recommendation.
I am totally doing this!! Thanks!
Congrats on the award - seems like a fitting one given your own writing.
Cool, Akelamalu - I love book memes. I'll do this one on Friday.
I love how these very brief excerpts still give a clear sense of the writer's voice.
Now you have given me a taste of the book I think that I shall have to read it!

You ARE quite something Ake!

I hope you like it too JAPRA
OH do see if you can find it Ron it is a must read.
Glad you agree about reading Eelwind
I finished the book Lu. I think enjoy is not perhaps the right emotion to feel about the book, it was a good read.
:o) ahh so glad you like the award! it suits you well! x
thata's such a cool award, ake! the pinup girl in the pic is so cute! :)
You're very kind Emmie, thankyou. x
I thought it was cute too Acey :)
It's a small world. Google suggested a blog I might like to read ... YOURS! LOL. Google was right. I like this meme, I am going to put it in my "Stumped & need to post" idea file.
I did this one. I like it. Have you finished that book? I'm kind of avoiding it as I know it will be pretty traumatic. I'd love to know what you think.
Google said that about my blog Quilly? I'm amazed! LOL
I did finish the book Jo and yes it is traumatic at the end but worth reading.
