5 Books Meme (JFF)

This is a books meme someone showed me. I thought I would share it, since it's fun. 

Directions:
1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph.
8. Feel free to "cheat" to make a better paragraph
9. Name your sources

This is my answer. I used the books that I had lying around next to my bed instead of actually going through my shelf.

Book #1 -- first sentence
Arlen paused in his work, looking up at the lavender wash of the dawn sky.

Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
"Not here, Elena. Show me to your rooms."

Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
Corvis laughed hysterically, choking on the soil, and flipped over like a landed fish.

Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
He saw an image of that same man's deformed face that was so clear he could have drawn it.

Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
Later, they drank sweet berry wine and ate sandwiches out of their picnic basket, watching the water lap gently at the shore in front of their home.
