Dine and Opine

Well it is time again for another wonderful book selection! Last month’s Water For Elephants received a thumbs up from the group and was found to be an easy read. We are ready to pick up the newest pick The Piano Teacher! I know that I, for one, am extremely excited since my order of Water For Elephants never arrived. I am holding my breath to see which book makes it here first…. The one I ordered last month or the one that I ordered on Friday….

If anyone has read this book… please comment below! We would love to hear your thoughts!

Well here we go… this month’s book is a cautionary tale wrote by none other than Jenna Jameson. So what made us vote on this book? Was it that our last few attempts to have a “climatic” book has failed? i.e. The MasterBedroom… or is it just that this book has received such rave reviews that we has to see what the fuss was all about?

The only thing that I know is why I choose to put this book as one of my picks… (and too vote for it as well)… I’m intrigued. So I have started reading the book- as I know so many of you have as well and I have to say- I’m still intrigued. Reading this book has also increased my workout… I set the bike timer for 20 minutes and 40 minutes later I realized I was still peddling even after the timer went off. Every day I find myself picking up the book even if I only have 5 minutes (And sometimes even less) just to read that next paragraph… so I can say- ‘no’… ’she didn’t'… ‘omg’ .. and even laugh a little. (Come on- the outfit choices are rather comical)

So ladies- speak up! Let’s get this blog going… This is a book that you have to have something to say about!!!

So girls, this month’s book is We Two : Victoria and Albert. How is everyone’s reading coming along? Hopefully better than mine. It has been slow -trying to following the criss crossing family lines- seems to be slowing me down. I can’t help it! the tree doesn’t branch very often and you end up reading about someone’s uncle, cousin Husband……come on!! Anyone else having a hard time?????

OK girls! Time to bring in the new year and let’s all start it off with a WOOT WOOT!! I hope that everyone picks up the book ! I am so looking forward to another year of this fantastic book club! Can’t wait for our next meeting…. ohhh and the DUNK YOUR DRUNK 2010 at Kristine’s!

Dine and Opine’s book of choice this month is South of Broad by Pat Conroy. I myself am quite interested in reading this for the sole purpose to see how Charleston is depicted in the story. I love Charleston, so I don’t want my view tainted!! LOL. I am not very far in the book at the moment. Just in the first chapter or so, however I hope to be able to dedicate a few hours to the book tonight. I thought that I was going to get ready done over Thanksgiving and our trip to visit Family…. HAHA.. boy was I wrong about that! I hope that you girls are enjoying the book. Let me know your thoughts!!

This month’s book is The Night Counter by Alia Yunis. Now girls, I know we just came back from the girls’ weekend- but let’s start chatting!!!

Hellllllllooooooooo Everyone! I am so excited that in 24 hours (well less now) we will be on our official 2nd annual Dine and Opine Retreat!!!! I hope that all you girls have finished the book…….smirking….. sorry… was this not the dullest book ever?!?! Or is it just me? I hope that everyone is ready and we will have photos up on the website after the weekend.

OHHHHH and did I mention- we have had over 395 visits to our website!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!! let’s see if we can hit the 400 mark before we leave!! Tell your friends… forward the link onto everyone!!!!
