Good morning! It is a beautiful day here, and I’m looking forward to what the day will bring.
Sunday Salon is a great way to begin the week, and it’s like a gathering post for bloggers to share their adventures.
I’ve done quite a bit of reading, a little blogging, and yesterday I took a break to see a movie I’ve been eagerly awaiting.
The Company You Keep, with a wonderful cast that includes Robert Redford, Julie Christie, Susan Sarandon, and many others, took me back to a time in my life….and I just sat there absorbing it all. I haven’t been buying as many DVDs lately (I have 800+ on my shelves!), but this is one I’m going to add.
So after a nice respite, I grabbed my book again.
My Week on the Blogs:
Tuesday Intros/Teasers: The Smart One
Waiting on Wednesday with Morning Glory
Thursday Potpourri: Disturbing Midnight Moments
A Guilty Pleasures Treat: Book Beginnings/Friday 56 – Tapestry of Fortunes
Sweet Saturday Sample: Awaiting her Fate (An Excerpt from Defining Moments)
Reading-Click Titles/Covers for Reviews:
Drinking with Men, by Rosie Schaap
The Smart One, by Jennifer Close
The Good House (e-book), by Ann Leary
Lucky Me (Memoir), by Sachi Parker
And late yesterday, I started reading Tapestry of Fortunes, by Elizabeth Berg…and I’m savoring it!
A story of reinventing your life, which sometimes means downsizing and recreating everything.
I like this blurb from the Amazon page: In this beautifully written novel, leaving home brings revelations, reunions, and unexpected turns that affirm the inner truths of women’s lives. “Maybe Freud didn’t know the answer to what women want, but Elizabeth Berg certainly does,” said USA Today. Elizabeth Berg has crafted a novel rich in understanding of women’s longings, loves, and abiding friendships, which weave together into a tapestry of fortunes that connects us all.
What does your day—and your week—look like? Come on by and chat.

I love the look of The Smart One and Drinking with Men sounds like a great memoir.

After visiting your blog, Harvee, I went online and preordered The White Bread Summer…it fits in nicely with the movie I saw yesterday (the times they were a-changing!!).

You have had a busy week, I know your not supposed to judge a book by its cover but Elizabeth Berg’s book cover is gorgeous. I haven’t read her books yet. Thanks so much for popping over xx

I agree about not judging…but in Berg’s case, her “insides” totally match the “outsides.” Loving this book…and thanks for stopping by, Sharon.

Is it gone already? I guess it’s considered “alternative,” as those don’t stay long. And those are actually my favorites!
Hopefully it will be on PPV soon. I put in a request for the DVD. Thanks for visiting, Susan.
