Charms for the Easy Life

I couldn't put this one down; I love it when an author is such a good storyteller that you forget that you're reading. Definitely a chick read, without being cheesy, and not juvenile lit. They've made a movie of it; I'll let you know what I think when I see it!

September Book Club- A Future For Tomorrow

Okay Ladies, If you haven't read the book yet, you've got to get started on this great read! I just finished the book today. I can't wait to hear what you all thought about it. What Haley went through and survived was an amazing miracle. I can't wait to get together with her at the end of the month so we can all meet her and discuss her book! Those of you that got a copy don't forget to bring your books and she will sign and personalize each one. I have talked to Sarah and Alisa who have also finished the book and loved it. It will make a great conversation so don't miss book club September 28th at my house!

Crocodile on the Sandbank on August 31st!

Bring your swimsuits! :)

I think this date is better.  Thanks for the correction....crocodiles, dragons-- apparently they are all the same in my foggy brain. Haha! Sorry for the mix-up ladies!

See you in a few weeks.

August: Bring your swimsuits (and your blinders)

Hi Ladies! for the month of August we are reading:  The Dragon Princess (I AM PRETTY SURE?!) I still need to hop over to the library to check it out.

So the previously discussed plan is to have it at my place.  I'll be post baby about a week at this point so just ignore the disaster that I am sure the house will be. But, bring your swimsuits if you'd like to go for a dip in the pool and when you get cold you can hop in the hot tub. We can plan the next year.

So if we do it the last Tuesday of the month, it's the 24th of August right?  Is that okay?  That would be the night before the first day of school... so just an FYI.... If you want to change the day, speak now! :)

Love you gals.

Wuthering Heights

This book made me grumpy. I had to shake myself mentally after finishing it. The characters were so confusing too; a few times I had to think hard to remember who was who. Did anyone else finish it? Anyone like it? My copy is going to DI unless someone wants it.... I'm looking forward to a pleasant book next :).

really short book

This is our pick for July's book. (Sarah picked it, but as I was already posting my review on my blog, I figured I'd come over here and put this up while I was online.)

It's a very short, quick read. Better written than her earlier stuff.

I'm already done, so my copy is up for grabs.
