Good morning! Wednesday already! I feel like the week is flying by! I am not ready…LOL. Tonight I have a get together at friends and tomorrow I have a get together here. Have you heard of House Party? It is a website where you can sign up to host parties for products, board games, book releases and movies. I signed up a while back and was chosen to host a party for the upcoming movie, Hope Springs with… Meryl Streep (I am on a Streep fest – but that is another post….)
SO… tomorrow evening I am having friends over to talk about the movie, other Streep movies, and to go through some fun questions that House Party sent me. They also sent me coupon books for the guests, engraved glasses with the movie title on them, and tote bags. I am kind of getting excited about this…. still need some appetizer ideas…. (anyone? anyone?)
(More on that tomorrow)
August first huh? Wow. Where did July go? This morning my email graced me with Amazon’s thoughts on the books of August. While I am going to post this today… I am thinking I will make up my own some day soon….
Hmmm…. out of this group – I have Dare Me and City Of Women waiting for me to read. I would like to read Molly Ringwalds book as well. As for the others, I don’t really know much about them. Any thoughts or advice from you on these books? Any books you would add to this group as a great August read?
Book Journey 
Olive & parmesean bruschetta. YUMMMMMMM!
Haven’t heard of any of those books. 😦 Didn’t even hear Molly had written one. I’ll have to check that out.
I’m going to TRY to read the massive list waiting on my kindle. UGH. Started a few & I’m not too impressed. Tough to find really captivating books these days.
Mmmm…. that does sound good! Now… how to make it 🙂
I’ve never heard of House Party but it sure sounds like fun!!
It will be interesting Kathy – at first I was nervous as I didn’t know what to expect but now that I ahve the box of goodies they sent me… I admit, I am a bit excited 😀
I will be receiving We Sinners for review…I think it looks good.
Also…the Molly Ringwald book looks interesting….and City of Women.
I’m excited about the new Meryl Streep movie…
I am excited about that movie too Laurel 😀
I’m planning on reading “We Sinners” and “Winter Journal” this month, so I’m interested to see what you’ll think of them.
I will have to look at those closer Grace! 😀
WOW! I am so excited that you finally got a HOUSEPARTY party and box of goodies. WOO HOO! If you get time to go back to the Houseparty Website there should be a on the partypage a FAVORS tab click that for more party FUN. Have a great Party and I hope to see you soon.
Thanks Milli e- I needed that information… I really have no idea what I am doing 😀
I plan to read the first two books (have the first one for review and plan to get the second one from the library). I’ll take a look at the Bel Canto readalong. I’ve been meaning to read it for ages and I already own a copy.
I would love to have you on board for the read-a-long Alyce!
I’m very intrigued to hear about your House Party, sounds wonderful.
I hope it is fun Ruth.. I really am just winging it 😀
House Part sounds fun. I hope yours goes well! 🙂
Me too 😀
I have Dog Stars, Double Game and City of Women. City of Women is next in the audio pile. It jumped over a few others but I couldn’t stop it! Don’t you love when books jump the line? lol
I do love that Leslie – I hope it is fantastic in audio! I have it in book format…. hoping it is as good as I hear 😀
