Thanks Bonita for the fun meme. My book is The All New Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew.

"All types of wood can be used: pine, fir, cedar, or even redwood (which is more expensive but longer lasting), but don't use treated lumber.

"When constructing your SFG box, cut all pieces of your wood sides to the same length and then rotate the corners to ensure you end with a square. If you want a different look than the rotated corners, measure the thickness of the lumber and subtract that from two of the sides and add it to the other two sides so you still end up with a square box."

OK, not too exciting I'll bet, unless you are interested in a square foot garden.

I am so touched Bonita, I know you are so busy, yet you made time to share my little tag :). Your words are precious, I too am growing older and wiser and need less "things" in life. Less is easier.

Blessings,
Kathi :)

well my page 56 is a picture so I can read page 57 sentence #5:

She was a shimmering figure of fantasy in her white satin bias-cut gowns, created by famed Hollywood designer Adrian. This look had been imported from Paris after the Hays code of the early 1930's forbade "indecent undue exposure" in film, with a ban on the naked body--even a show of cleavage was taboo.

from Vintage shoes by Caroline Cox.
haven't actually started it yet.. but it's all about shoes lol

Okay, this is where I got tripped up, you said "This is what is says on page 56, starting with sentence 35:" I think you meant #5.

So starting at sentence #5, my book says "I just stepped back and watched, proud, of course, but also somewhat puzzled as to where she got those natural gifts as a dancer. They certainly weren't from me! Britney could sing too!"

This is from "Through the Storm" which I am giving away in a drawing at my blog on Friday.

Thanks for clearing up the details of the meme. :D

Ironic - I picked up the book closest to me on my desk. Page 56 did not have 35 sentences. So I picked up the 2nd closest book, did not have 35 sentences.

What does this say about my choice of books? I guess I like big text. LOL! Cute meme, too bad I'm not qualified to participate. LOL!!!

I am right there with you, Bonita! I, too am seeing the beauty of becoming a minimalist.

Less is more!

Playing by the rules, the closest book to me was the dictionary!

Entry #5 of page 56 is "anniversary." Digging through the roots of the word, as I love to do, I find that anniversary = "annus" (year) + "versum" (verse, meaning "to turn"). The dictionary then tells me to See Verse.

Upon visiting "verse," I find more about what the root of verse means: "to turn, warp or worm."

Which bring us back to the name of your award, bookworm--someone who likes to turn through books, yes?

Thanks for letting me have a "turn." And I like what you discovered, too!
