Friday the 13th wasn't a bad day for me. Saturday the 14th so far not so good. I have 13 reviews to finish writing up. Reading the books isn't hard however writing coherent book reviews that don't just say something lame... I Like...Good book...This book sucks a**...etc. is taking just a little bit more of my brain than I was planning on.
I would never say that this book sucks because reading material is entirely subjective. There are always books out there that will tend to appeal to only certain niche groups.
So after I attend a wedding this afternoon I will head on home and finish typing my 13 late reviews. Tomorrow while I am at Bob Dylan's concert I will read book 15 and get that review in on time. I will say that I am glad that the Ides of August have no truly bad connotations because I could really use some positive news in my life about now.
Book Club Update:
While we kind of enjoyed Chelsea Handler's Are You There Vodka, It's me Chelsea? some of us felt that the humor was a little more negative than we preferred. We each discussed our two favorite episodes from the book while we were enjoying our pedicures outside. At least we were enjoying them until the wind kick up big time and we put everything away. Our lone male Aaron was there as well (though he passed on the pedicure).
We decided to forgo a book for our next meeting we are actually going to a matinee. Vampires Suck. We are justifying it slightly because it is a parody (in part) of the Twilight series (which are books) and it looks like it will be fun.
Our next book is Over Her Dead Body by Kate White. When we went to Hastings six weeks ago and found Baggage Claim we also found two copies of this hardback in the clearance bin for 99 cents. We decided that it would be our budget find and those of us that hadn't picked it up at the first Hastings located it for the same price at a Hastings near where each of us lives. The cheapest place that I found it online right now is Barnes and Noble. It is the fourth book in the Bailey Wiggins series but we are hoping that it is one that will also stand on its own.
Good Books, Good Wine, Good Friends What Could be Better.
