I’ve fallen a little behind with June’s 30/30 challenge, but wanted to share today’s prompt as it’s book-related, and I love the cover.
Esther Poyer asks
“What is the title of the book nearest to you?Open it to page 23.Use the first line of the second paragraph to write a poem. You do not need to use the whole sentence (if it is a novel, or prose), use the first line, where the line breaks to a new line.”
For me it’s Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Robber Bride’ (Virago, 1994), because of course, as a librarian my shelves are alphabetical by author :).
The line will be a tricky one to write from, I think:
“Tony’s office is large, larger than it would be in a modern buil-|ding”
Something for tomorrow, perhaps.
