This is a royal twist on an old meme. I just wish I’d found these gems when I was actually twenty-one.This is how it works: You must follow the directions to the letter.
1. Find the nearest bookshelf of your favorite reads, cookbooks, tech books, magazines. It doesn’t matter. This will work for all print media. If you don’t have seven books lined up on a shelf, grab the first seven you see around the house.
2. Book #1: Turn to page 21. Read the 21st sentence (you may have to turn the page).
Write it down.

4. When you are finished, read over your “story” and title it.
5. Show us your bibliography at the end of this meme. Hmmm…I wonder if we’ll be surprised at the reading material we may find. I just did mine. It was rather shocking! I didn’t cheat. I promise! Don’t you either….or it’s you-know-where for you.

Edward asked when Charlie and I were done.
I let my daughter pick out the books I used for this meme. I hope it does not land me in the Dungeon.
