What's on your page 69?

Just a quicky post as dinner is almost ready (mmmm boyf is making home-made burgers) and I am still having tinernet issues.

I wanted to share with you something I heard on Saturday Kitchen on ermm Saturday.  Laila Rouass of Footballer's wives fame was on the show and shared with chef James Martin that if you want to see if a book is going to be good to turn to page 69 and if you like what you read there then you will probably enjoy the whole thing.  Interesting I thought.  Whats on page 69 of my book I wondered?  So I loaded up the dusty old word document and what was going on there?

A crucial page turning part of my story!!! My main character gets a letter from someone and it's a stonker.  I won't say anymore but it's a real page turner I can assure you!! So what's going on in your page 69?  Maybe your own WIP or just the book you're reading now?  Or even a fave book?  Be interesting if this works!
