Two Things Challenge: Saturday/Sunday

Sunday

Tonight is book club. I finished the book just in time. I can't wait for the discussion on this one!

Two Things Challenge: East/West

Here is my entry for the "East" part of the challenge. There is a park on what Seattleites call the Eastside called Juanita Bay Park in Kirkland. I took a few photos in this park before our book club meeting. Some of the trees had red and orange leaves which were made even more striking by the light of the sunset hitting them!














Someone put these red roses tied with black ribbon in various locations. I wonder what the story is there?

Vivid color

I picked up a lovely bouquet of flowers at the farmer's market today for my friend that is starting a new job on Monday.



We had our book club meeting tonight and I loved the way this lamp was reflecting in the window which showed the deep blue of the night sky outside. We read Catch 22 which I have to say I did not like and did not finish (the only book so far that I haven't finished). I was not alone, however. Out of seven people, only two finished and liked the book.

Book Club

It was supposed to be a quick and easy summer read, but I found it quite depressing. Our meeting tonight, however, was most enjoyable. We really have a great bunch of people!

Fahrenheit 451

Yes, we did read this awhile back in our Book Club. This entry reminds me of that book because I went to a bookstore today and am also posting a photo of a fire hydrant. I don't, however, condone book burning!


I love the Elliott Bay Book Company: so full of nooks and crannies to get lost amongst the books! It's always hard to go at lunch when I don't have time to browse but am picking up a particular book. I did find one of my book club books for this month. Hint: it's a girl's book about puberty by Judy Blume. I have read this book before when I was a pre-teen, but it will be interesting to read it again as an adult! Apparently there is a boy's book as well, but I had no luck finding that one.



Better late than never? I missed getting this in in time for last week's Two Things Challenge, but wanted to post my hydrant photo anyways.

The Time Traveler's Wife

This month's book club selection. The question is, how will I finish it in time to discuss it tomorrow evening?

Le Book Club

It was the one year anniversary of our book club this month! I've loved this group and have read some interesting books.


This month's book. It wasn't great, but garnered interesting discussions because the author lied about it being a memoir and Oprah had picked it for her book club before this was discovered. We had a good time discussing what was real and what may have been creative license.



Spotted on a book club member. As long as she only had to abstain for a day, it may not have been too bad...
