Catching up and reading

Posted by Alexandra at Studio Alexandra

It's been a busy week. I haven't had much time to do anything sewing-related, not even read blogs. I logged into Bloglines this afternoon to find 88 new posts. Eighty-eight!!! I finally finished reading them all.

I've been tagged by Shannon and Karen to open the nearest book and post the 6th, 7th, and 8th sentence from page 123. Well, here goes:
Zaim seemed to be unconscious. Blood plumed from the side of his head, and Bourne guessed that he, too, had struck a rock. With one arm around the limp form, Bourne kicked out hard for the surface, banging the top of his head sooner than he had anticipated against the ice sheet.

That was from The Bourne Betrayal by Eric Van Lustbader. I haven't read it yet, just brought it home from the library where it caught my eye because I'd enjoyed reading the Bourne trilogy a few years ago. It's sitting on my computer desk waiting for me to pick it up and curl up with it for one of those long reading sessions that last into the wee hours of the night because the book is a such a page turner. (And after such sessions, I'm usually afraid to turn off the lights and go to bed because there's a bad guy hiding in every shadow. Yes, I have a very vivid imagination.)

On the sewing front, I have cut out a black cotton twill skirt, fused the interfacing, and serged the seam allowances. Now I'm just waiting for a nice chunk of Saturday sewing time.
