How Dare You Tag Me: 123 Book Tag
Just kidding!
Well, I usually ignore tags. It’s nothing personal against the person sending, but this time I decided to do it. One reason is because this is a tag I haven’t seen before. The other reason is that the stuff on page 123 of my book deals with a favorite topic of mine. And I just happen to have a contest on this delicious topic going on right now at another blog.
Heather at A Creative Journal tagged me with the 123 Book Tag.
Here’s how the 123 Book Tag works:
Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
Open the book to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag five people.
The book I picked up is Big Green Purse by Diane MacEachern.
Here are the sentences on page 123:
Alta Gracia (author Julia Alvarez’s coffee farm), Dominican Republic, 802-453-2776, www.cafealtagracia.com
Arbuckle Coffee Roasters, Tucson, Arizona, 800-533-8278, www.arbucklecoffee.com
The Art of Coffee, La Jolla, California, 800-570-9010, www.theartofcoffee.com
What’s all that? Am I reading a book that just lists coffee places? Nope, but I’m guessing such a book could be written. Big Green Purse is about spending your dollars on products that make a difference for the environment. In other words, harnessing your spending power for good. And page 123 just happened to be about green coffee options. The coffees above are triple certified: organic, shade grown and fairly traded. They are available by mail order.
And that’s just special since we’re having a coffee contest at Tree Hugging Family. To enter, go to the contest post before midnight on April 21 and leave a comment. You might win a pound of Zabar’s Rainforest Alliance coffee.
Now, the evil spreads. I’m tagging:
Jul at Veggie Chic
Marcie at A Child Chosen
Collin at Tool Belt Tips
Trench at My Crime Space
And Cory and Kerri at Marriage Actually
Poor tagged bloggers: You can ignore it if you want, but at least I gave you a free link.
Happy Saturday.

Thanks for the tag. :)
The only book sitting near me at this moment is a guide book to Germany - probably not very interesting content. Maybe I’ll play along another day when something more gripping is nearby. :)

Thanks Heather.
Jul, guide books can be gripping! It might be funny, but not very veggie related probably. : )

Well, thanks for the tag. I am living at my parents while our house is gutted so the book will either be a history book or a cheesy romance…beware!
