Another great Sunday in October. Welcome, Sunday Saloners, and pull up a chair. Let’s chat about the week we left behind…and what lies ahead.
What a whirlwind of activities around the blogs this week! After last weekend and the Bloggiesta makeovers, we were thrust into Banned Books Week.
There were reviews and giveaways all around the blogosphere. My review and giveaway of The Catcher in the Rye is at Rainy Days and Mondays.
Other Blogging:
Monday Potpourri: Musings – Distractions
Tuesday Potpourri: Finding a Balance
Sweet Saturday Samples: Reexamining the Past in Light of the Present
Weekend Potpourri: Lazy Day Activities
And here’s a shot from my Saturday Snapshot post.
My reading took a back seat to other things this week, partly because I was obsessing about my absent TV; and then because I got a new one and had to play with it!
But I did read and review two books:
1. The Probable Future, by Alice Hoffman
2. Barbra: The Way She Is, by Christopher Andersen
And I’m still reading More Than You Know, by Penny Vincenzi.

So that’s my week….Today I plan to watch a new movie that is now available On Demand:
People Like Us, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Elizabeth Banks, and Chris Pine…among others.
What are your plans? Reading? Movies? Adventures?
I’ve only read a couple of Alice Hoffman but enjoyed them and this one sounds interesting. I’ll have to add the Streisand to my upcoming reading. I love celebrity bios and I’ve run across her in numerous ones I’ve read and always wondered if she was as awkward and unlikable to work with as her contemporaries have said. Sounds like this author agrees with them.

And yet, as she has pointed out, the same behavior from a man would be looked at differently…
Thanks for stopping by, Nicola.

I’d be interested to hear if People Like Us is any good. Enjoy your day.

Susan, I enjoyed it….I know not everyone would, and it was predictable in many ways. But for me, it was a feel good movie. Thanks for stopping by.

Growing up I always loved Streisand, but I’ve heard she wasn’t the easiest person to work with. Sounds like an interesting book. Hope you have a great week!

Thanks, Yvonne…I am having a really lazy day today. I wonder if this will set the tone for the week? Glad you could stop by.

My children go back to school this week! That’s an adventure – the return of a few hours of peace per day!
