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.

Hi Peggy,
I’m so glad you got some good fun out of the tag and a great blog entry.
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!
Pickel, sounds like it will be an interesting post. Hope the home remodeling goes well.
