Tuesday Book Club
Hey, it happens. Didn’t finish a book this week. Still savoring the one I began last week.
But in keeping with our no-shame policy here at the book club, I will not hang my head.
So, what did y’all read this week? And did you love it/them?

The Nymph King by Gena Showalter
I’ve also decluttered the laundry room, kitchen, kitchenette, family room, and one small bathroom.
Still have to tackle formal dining, den, master bath, and bedrooms. (All the really scary rooms. hehe.)

Oh, my gosh, Heather, you’re WAY ahead of me in all departments. Great work!

These Tuesdays come up fast. I finally finished Focused Expressive Psychotherapy, slow and dense, but good if you are into Gestalt therapy. I read 2 Newsweeks, a legal newspaper, and the entire Sunday paper, and decluttered part of my backyard that had major snow/winter damage.

An impressive list, Deborah!

I’m confused on which day is what…
Monday is B Donka Donk check in?
Tuesday is Book check in?
Wednesday is Order from Chaos check in?
Thursday is —-?
Friday is —–??

I finished Love is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield(a lovely memoir that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day,in my opinion) and am on the verge of completing The Perfectly True Tales of a Perfect Size 12 by Robin Gold. Still reading other books in various stages and planning on finishing up Finn by next week.
With an approaching storm on the way,I should have plenty of time to get cracking on those pages:)

Yeah, Lady T, hunker down and read.
Patrick, try to keep up. Thursday is “oh my gosh, did you see/understand what happened on Lost last night” day (except this week, since I have other plans Wednesday night and will have to watch the tape Thursday, which means I won’t be ready to discuss until Friday’s post), and generally Fridays are when we talk about our feelings.
Except next week, when it’s all going to be way too exciting and different because . . . well, I’ll tell you why on Monday.
So, got it?

I read The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
I finally got The Time Traveler’s Wife in the mail, so I’ll be reading that this week.
February 13th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
All right, Kimmy!

Ya know, I think I missed the post where you explained the rules for the book club, so I’m not sure if you want to hear about kid/teen books or not. But I finished A Drowned Maiden’s Hair yesterday and it rocked about a mile.
For grown-up books, I just started The Echo Maker by Richard Powers, and so far it’s painfully lovely.
Oh, and by the way, THANK YOU FOR THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Shhh! You’re welcome.
The rules are simple: everything counts. Re-reads count. Children’s, YA, adult, fiction, non-fiction.
The point is to read, read, read, and if you’re like me, then having a reason to report in every week keeps your nose to the book.
February 13th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Wait, I’m not sure if you are clear on these rules, but I am to be informed of any big news two days prior to everyone else.
Really this is just to confirm what my other sources have already told me, since I know everything.
February 13th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Whoops, too late on what I’m doing tomorrow. You’ll just have to hear with the masses.
As for next week, we’ll see . . .

I finished up the second book of Madelyn Alt’s mystery series and am now on to a YA called “Poison” by Chris Wooding. I have also cleaned and organized my guest bathroom and am halfway done with my living room! Have a great week everyone!
February 14th, 2007 at 7:06 am
All right, Danne! You did much better than I did this week!
February 14th, 2007 at 9:21 am
You all are way ahead of me. Finished my second book….for the year. The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve - good but reminded me of another book that I had read that I can’t remember the name of. Now I have a system so that doesn’t happen again. I’m writing my finished books on the back of my bookmark so I can keep better track of what I’ve read. Have been reading the Time Traveler’s Wife for about a year now and still savoring all of it. It’s one that I need time to digest, so I’m poking my way through it. Has anyone written a book about someone’s “Husband”????
Only got the laundry room cleaned and organized last week.
February 14th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Yay, Michele!

I read Christina Dodd’s latest Tongue in Chic, which was pretty amusing.I read a couple of mysteries-Dead & Berried.
So my total was 4 books this last week.
I just finished the new J.A. Jance but I will count that for next week since I finished it last night. I like her new character.

Readerdiane, living up to your name!
Thanks for reporting in.

Coming soon to a blog comment near you -
Robin’s Husband
By Patrick WhateverHisLastNameIs
February 14th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Uh-oh.
February 17th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Thanks Patrick - I look forward to reading that one! It would start something like this….Once upon a time a hunky outdoorsie attorney feel in love with the opposing council. After several meditative yoga classes he was able to approach the love of his life and reveal his feelings. Opposing council swooned (imagine - hand on forehead, head tilted to the left, knees week…)and accidentally stumbled into his arms, and she hasn’t left those arms since. The end.
What do you think Robin? Do I have the potential to be a writer?

Michele, the world awaits your romance novels.
Truthfully, you’ve led such an interesting, adventurous life, you probably do have lots of good stories in you!
