Page 56 Meme!

CJ Darlington has tagged me to play this fun book meme.

The rules:

Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 56 and go to the fifth sentence, typing that sentence and a few others around it.

For me it was a toss up as to which of the books that surround to pick up! The lucky book was Fireproof by Eric Wilson

Page 56, sentence 5:

"That sounded like surrender, like giving up. But who was Caleb fooling?"

I now tag Tracy, Cee Cee, Jennifer, Deborah & Ausjenny

Have fun!

7 Random Book Related Facts About Me

Kim over at Window to My World tagged me for this 7 random facts meme, with a twist! The 7 random facts have to be book related facts!

So here goes! I hope others will join in the fun!

1. My Grandma introduced me to Christian Fiction with a Janette Oke book when I was about 10 years old. She is now 92 and loves borrowing my books from me now :)

2. I have a personal CF library with over 1600 books.

3. I have library software and loan books to over 60 family, friends, church members, etc. CF is not available in public libraries in Australia!

4. My favourite genre is romantic suspense - high on suspense, light on romance.

5. 5 years ago my pastor suggested I start a book club - we have around 20 members and is one of the few multi generational ministries at church.

6. I have "met" the most wonderful people through my books, authors, bloggers, publicists, readers. Many of my closest friends, I met when they started to borrow my books.

7. Aside from CF, I enjoy John Grisham, Robert Ludlum, David Eddings and Jane Austen books.
