The Twilight Movie

Have you guys heard all the hype lately about theaters around the valley that are sold out of Twilight tickets for some showings already? I REALLY want to see the movie on Friday since we are heading out of town on Saturday, so I went ahead and bought myself a ticket from movietickets.com for the 11am show on Friday 11/21 at the Gateway Theaters. Do any of you guys want to go to see Twilight next Friday at 11am? We could have a discussion afterwards at Golden Spoon. :) FYI, showtimes that day at Gateway are 11, 1:50, 4:40, 7:30, and 10:20. Tickets for that showtime are $7.25. If you buy them from movietickets.com, they add a $1 service charge, so the price is $8.25, but they throw in a free music download of "Bella's Lullaby" so I figured it all evened out (plus peace of mind has got to be worth something, right?) Let me know if you want to go at 11am on Friday. :)

Who wants to see Wicked the Musical?

Hey Ladies! Wicked is coming to Gammage, and Sara R. has reserved some tickets at a group discount rate. The date is Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 7:30pm. The tickets are $31.15 for balcony seats, $61.75 for Tier B seats, or $73 for floor seats. Chuck and I are going to go (and sit in the balcony). If any of you guys would like to go that night, we can make it a Book Club Field Trip (open to spouses, friends, and significant others too). If you would like to purchase tickets for that night at those rates, let Sara R. know as soon as possible. She'll need to know how many tickets you would like, and where you would like to sit. Payment for the tickets will need to be made to Sara by Jan 5. This is an awesome show!! My sister and I saw it in NY this summer, and I would highly recommend it. :) For information about the show, you can check out the website: WickedTheMusical.com. Thank you, Sara for being willing to coordinate this!!!

Finish Jane Eyre. CHECK!

HOORAY!! I finally finished Jane Eyre! I must say that I didn't hate it. I had a hard time reading the first half, but after she finally stood up to Rochester (right before he proposed) I started to really like her. I'll make sure that I finish this month's book so I can actually contribute something! :)

Here's the movie that I was talking about where Jane has the duck bill. I've been watching it this week and I just can't get over it! Whenever she's on the screen, it's like I'm just looking at her bill. And when she cries, oh boy!! Her mouth goes into a perfect square. Sorry. Enough of my rambling. I'm sure we all have our little quirks. I think that she's perfect for the part and that she's a great actress. See? I can be good.

November Meeting

Okay, the votes are in (sorry, no election day pun intended). Our November meeting will be

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

"The Life of Our Lord" by Charles Dickens

Author Intro: Cherene/ Treats: Shanie

I am looking forward to our last meeting of 2008. A few items that I usually forget:

* underline a passage to share (if there are any you like)
* bring four or five book ideas for 2009
* know if or when you might be able to see Twilight

(I made all of you team members on the blog - at least I think I did - so that any of you can post & comment.) Have a great day. Thanks. Love Tamara.

November Meeting Date & Time

Yes, it is Halloween and I probably have a lot to do, but I thought I better try to get our next meeting on the calendar before another week disappears before my eyes. So - Can we meet Tuesday, November 18th? I am not aware of any church events - Is there scouts? We could meet @ 7:15 or 7:30. How does that sound? Let me know as soon as you can. Love, Tamara

Technical Support

Any experienced bloggers in the group willing to help me with what is obviously not one of my dazzling talents? I just have some questions about layout design. Thanks, Tamara
