Third Sentence Thursday (#14) ~ Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books

Grab the Code

Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme for beating back the forces of OTHER sentences!

1) Take the book you are reading now and post the third sentence
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence here or if you don't have a blog, just post it in the comments!

"Sap drooled down the wounded bark, and dry limbs slumped, making
it look as if the tree were trying to voice a moan into the cool, damp morning air." -Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind

Very scary image for a tree. It's nice with the foreshadowing and all, but honestly... it's a tree >.> (I'm getting a tiny bit annoyed with Terry where I am in the story)

Here's my Third Sentence Thursday from The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve...it's sort of depressing.

In re your third sentence, How does he know what the tree is trying to say? Hmm?
BookGeek March 3, 2011 at 10:13 AM: Oh Terry. He is a little melodramatic, I agree. This book was really good though. :)
Sniffly Kitty March 3, 2011 at 12:39 PM: @Nina lol, I like that imagery

@Redd let the stalking begin lol~~

@Krissy LOL, maybe that box that's sitting on my table came from it!

@Steph people who spend time talking to trees are SPECIAL ^.^

@BookGeek I've heard! (thus it actually moved off my TBR list lol)
