Thank you Amber for a wonderful book club on Friday. Always a delicious dinner and always great conversation. Just to recap up the night:
1) We are all going to Vegas in April. Woot, woot. I cannot wait to start planning this with you ladies. It's going to be so much fun.
2) No book this month. Pick your own and we'll discuss when we meet up for the next book club. I am going to be reading What Remains. It's basically a Bessette/Kennedy memoir that was recommended to me. I'm excited to get stated on it.
3) Unfortunately it was our last book club with Candice. I'm sure she'll be making special appearances at times though. Maybe even through Skype!!
4) Jasmine looks fantastic. Props to her for her commitment!!!!!
5) Book club at my place next month (June). I'll check out some dates and send you all an e-mail to see what works best for everyone.
It's always so great to hang out with you ladies...

Movie Review, Another Chick Flick, and more...
Sup Book Club!
What'cha busy with? I have been thinking 'bout you all. I have a few things to discuss....
1. 3 of us for sure loved Two Kisses for Maddy...did everyone read this tear jerker? And since this is a movie busy post, who do you think would play Matt in the movie?
2. I saw Water for Elephants...it was just meh. I do not love R.Patz, thought he was hollow. And does Reece Witherspoon have a lisp? I didn't love her in it either. They just missed a ton of character development, as most books to movies do - just can not cram it in 2 hours. But the cinematography (? - is that the right word) was beautiful, it was a pretty, dark, movie setting.
3. Something Borrowed is coming out as well. This was a fun, beach, Chick Lit, book. I love Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson so I'll def see it, though probably not until it's out on Bell. And also, Jim from the Office. Good casting for a Rom-Com
4. Will you read this book? Jaycee Dugard is publishing a "tell all". She was the girl kidnapped at 11, and kept in tents in that psycho's backyard. She had his 2 children. I shudder thinking about it. I don't know if I want that information in my brain, it never does go away...but what has me curious about it is reading Room recently. I was wondering how much similarity there would be between the Mom in Room and what this Jaycee went through...I dunno...thoughts? He's getting 431 years in prison. Deserved.
That's all for now. Miss you all!
Amba...you up for hosting this month?
