Wednesday books

I'm reading The Wednesday Sisters, Julie read The Wednesday Letters and is about to read The Wednesday War and I have them on hold at the library. Didn't Cindy read The Wednesday War? Anyone else? What is it with Wednesday books all of a sudden? What other books have days of the week in the titles? Tuesdays with Morrie. Black Sunday. What can you think of?

I just finished Wednesdays Letter...pretty sappy if you ask me. I have started a Karen Kingsbury --yes Everyone finds the Lord in this one. Someone gave it to me on loan because they thought I would love it...I feel obligated to read it. I also started The Wednesday Wars. My copy of Flood Summer should arrive in the mail tomorrow. The Boys and I are reading Hatchet.

Happy Reading from our house

What we're reading

Hey, I just remembered that when Karen started this blog we were going to post what we are reading, so I'm posting my current book. I'm reading The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton. I don't know if I like it that much yet. I'm only on page 52 and I keep falling asleep reading it, but that may have more to do with my being tired from the wedding than my interest in the book. In the car I am listening to Forever Odd by Dean Koontz. I just finished Hoot by Carl Hiassen. I haven't started Flood Summer yet. What are you reading?

In Response to Kaye's Request

Those of us who went to PTC were very impressed with the authors. Each author spoke briefly, then read from some of his or her work. After that, there was a question and answer session. Following the formal portion of the program, each author was available to sign his or her books.

I think the "wow" moment for us was the reading by Kevin Brockmeier. He read a short story, “A Fable with Slips of White Paper Spilling from the Pockets” from his book The View from the Seventh Layer. You could tell the entire audience was engaged by the story.

I ended up leaving with 5 books!

If you haven't read your email, the selection for November is Flood Summer by local author Trenton Lee Stewart, one of the authors who spoke at PTC. Check your email for all the details.

PTC last night?

Who went to PTC last night? How was it? I went to "Chicks and Chocolate" last night with my darling dils. It was a party hosted by the girlfriend of one of Adam's groomsmen. Adam, Cullen, and two of Adam's groomsmen are in Costa Rica for Adam's batchelor party this week. We had a lot of fun, but I was sorry to have missed the book talks! I've read A Brief History of the Dead and The Mysterious Benedict Society. I would have loved to have heard the authors speak. Somebody please blog about it!
