Hello friends, I know it’s a little early for summer reading, but I thought I would try a “book clubish” idea. Several years ago I had a book club here and it was lot of fun. This idea is a lot simpler than a book club where we meet up every week to discuss the book.
I have two new books on my table to choose from, all you do is vote for the book you’d like to read along with me, and the book with the most votes will be the book we read first. We’ll all read it and I’ll share blog post on June 11th and you can comment and share your thoughts. What do you think? Will You Read a Book with Me?
I took these photos yesterday when it was snowing! I clipped lilacs and a tiny viburnum blossom and now my art room smells amazing!
The first book is –
“Out of the Corner” a memoir by Jennifer Grey. She is the lovely and talented actress best known for her portrayal of Baby in the beloved film classic Dirty Dancing, ( which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress), and for her role, as Matthew Broderick’s sister in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Her numerous film, television, and theater credits span decades. Recently she starred in the acclaimed series Red Oaks and won season eleven of Dancing with the Stars.
Side note- Ms. Grey is currently looking forward to starring in the long-awaited Dirty Dancing sequel. (smile)
The second book is-
“Born, Giving Birth to a New You“, it is a guide to your best life book. It focuses on self-actualization and claiming your desires. It is written by the also lovely and talented Dee Wallace, the internationally known actress (250 films credits) who is best known for her role as the mother in the movie E.T. (smile)
Ms. Wallace earned her teaching credentials from The University of Kansas, and has worked as a teacher in the public school system, as well as her own dance and acting studios. Ms. Wallace expanded her love of teaching, and the principles she found empowering for children, into daily sessions, a radio show and five books. Her work is based on the principles of accepting responsibility, and loving ourselves.
Side note-Ms. Wallace is a strong advocate for accepting (at an early age) our own magnificence and power in a positive, loving way. A child’s personality is set between 0-8 years of age which has a direct impact on the creation of their life.
Will you read a book with me?
I look forward to seeing you all back here on Thursday for the TFT blog hop xo
This is a lovely idea Katherine. I love to read and use to devour books until I had a family and my littles took over my life. lol. I belonged to a book club years ago but haven’t read for myself as enjoyment in awhile. I would love to join you since it might give me the push I need. I’ll read practically anything so either book is fine with me. I think I will personally get more out of the self-actualization read but Jennifer Gray is probably more entertaining. Thank you Katherine! XO- MaryJo
Hi sweetie! Thank you, the Jennifer Grey Memoir is the first book we’ll read Born next. I’m so happy to have you joining in. Big hugs!!!
Probably won’t read along as neither is my style, but I’ve always liked Jennifer Grey. Still don’t know why she got a nose job.
I’ll probably mention the nose thing, inquiring minds want to know, LOL. Hugs
I love this idea for a book club! I vote for Jennifer’s book! I just joined a neighborhood book club and am falling in love with reading g after a 25 year absence!
Oh how wonderful. I am using this as the perfect reason to make sure that I make time for myself. Thank you xo
I think this is a lovely idea & i would love to read with you! Either book would be awesome.
Thank you Sally, I look forward to having you share. hugs!
