The Friday 56…Magic in the Shadows

The Book: Magic in the Shadows by Devon Monk

page 56, 5th sentence.

“How very college of you, Jones.  Does this mean we’re going steady?”

The Rules:

  • Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  • Turn to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
  • Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
  • Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
