Here on Earth Wrap-Up

Lovely afternoon at Lisa's home. Lots of great food: Roz brought our favorite dip, Kathy brought our fav -  JoJo's pizza . In addition we had quiche, pears with Parmesan cheese, roasted Brussels's sprouts, healthy peanut/chocolate cookies and skinny ice cream sandwiches. Oh and wine!

The book was read by most and liked by most. The author carried us along even if we could not get a handle on the heroine's (March)  motives to stay with such an awful guy (Hollis).  There were some beautiful descriptions of the horse and the woods. Still, it was an uncomfortable bunch of characters. So nicely written but depressing. Worth noting  - this was once an Oprah book selection.

BTW Lisa noticed these fun suggestions:

 New Trailer for Gone Girl (click it) which opens October 1st.

Ya'll remember we read this!

We gotta go see it!

The latest trailer  for Gone Girl dives deeper into the mystery surrounding Amy Dunne's disappearance and the dark cloud of suspicion hovering over her husband Nick. 

The new video, released Monday morning, shows similar scenes to the film's first look as Nick (Ben Affleck) joins the national search for his wife – now interposed with eerie voiceovers from Amy's infamous diary. 

"I will practice believing my husband loves me," she whispers. "But I could be wrong." 

The trailer also gives a glimpse of the supporting stars Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry.
