Good Morning!
Happy Wednesday all, hopefully this day finds you well rested and ready to tackle whatever is to come. Yesterday was second Tuesday of the month which for the past 11 years has meant something awesome to me….
Book Club!
Have I gushed recently about my book club? Probably. Am I about to again? Probably.
So last night eighteen of us gathered in my home to discuss the 19th Wife. We laughed, if only we could have had one more… 😛
I absolutely loved our discussion surrounding this book on Polygamy, the mix of truth and fiction together made for an interesting topic and these girls really did their homework. If you are looking for a great discussion book for your group I would recommend this one.
I was hoping that after all was said and done last night I would sit down and write the review and Bookies thoughts on the 19th Wife for the blog today. However, after I had worked yesterday came home, cooked and cleaned and then cleaned up after everyone left around 8:30… I had little energy to do anything but answer a few email.
Watch for it tomorrow. 😀
Oh… and I did mention a dog didn’t I.
His name is….. well, I don’t know.
My friend Kerri sent me a picture of him a couple of days ago. Abandoned in her neighborhood seems to be the answer. she’s called the police, all the animal hospitals and no one has turned in a missing dog. She’s had him since last Thursday but already has a dog, a cat, and a day care, and does not want another dog.
I told her in so many words…. no. With the loss of Elmo last October, Bailey (our shih tsu) has not been the same. I didn’t want him to think “what is this? A replacement program???”
Yet…
she could not find the dog a home. I told her the dog could come with her to book club. If the dog did not freak Bailey out, it could stay over night…. no promises.
Long story short… the dog is still here. He knows how to work a room, laying down not bothering anyone… house broken… we will see. I have a friend who may be interested in him if it is not us. Bailey is neutral right now… not freaking out, but not hanging out either. We will see what happens when I leave the two together in the house ll day while I am at work.
Speaking of work… I need to go there.
Have an awesome day!
Book Journey 
I want to read The 19th Wife! I think I saw a movie based on the book on Lifetime…
Love your cozy rooms…especially the purple one!
Yes, I suspect the dog will be staying….
I heard it was a movie! I need to find that. Yeah… that room… that was a Honduras phase about 7 years ago… I really need to repaint… I think a mocha… or sage.
Aw, I’d name that dog boots because of the way his legs are a different color from his body.
Cute name but you know what happens once you name something… LOL….
Uh Oh, once they get in the house and stay overnight its all over!
Its really going to depend on Bailey 🙂
PUPPY! 😀
ALso, I’m trying to vote for you in the goodreads thing but can’t find you!! What category are you in?
Thanks Care – honestly, I signed up and then forgot about it. Literature? Fiction?
Hi Care. Thanks for the thought! I dont recall what categoty I sighed up for… literature? Fiction? 😀
He’s a very cute dog! I hope it all works out for him with your family.
He is very well behaved… its either us or a friend of mine who will take him.
Awww! That little dog looks like he needs a hug and a home and a playmate. You old softie you, Sheila. 🙂
Animals are my criptonite! 😀
Good morning–
This is David Ebershoff, author of THE 19TH WIFE. Please tell everyone in your book club thanks for reading it — and I hope it was a good, chewy discussion. Nothing makes me happier than pictures of a bunch of smart women sitting around talking books.
All best,
David
Good morning David! I am just putting the finishing touches on the review now. It will be up late morning today. 🙂
So…where’s the dog today? 😉
Ummmm…. still here. 😳
