As I slowly looked to the left of the computer and the right I was just very happy not to have found a book that wasn't appropriate! Yeah!!! Then I spotted books on the shelves and slowly started walking towards them thinking: "Great, those are from the library and ought to be save!" My eyes wandered to my right and there is another pile of books hidden under a Texas brochure (no, that one doesn't have 123 pages, bummer). The next book down had to be "The Blood of Flowers", yes, I am save, as I have read this book and have written about it on this blog before :-)
Sentences 6-9 on p. 123 are:

OK, now that you've read this, it is YOUR turn! :) Let's see what you come up with ..... leave a comment so I know you are accepting the tag challenge and I'll come read yours!! :)
Your book is WAY better than mine; this excerpt actually makes me want to borrow your book! (Mine was just awful, with a character named Uncle Jake burping and blowing his "burp air" sideways! Gross!)
