Meet the first wives...




Vanessa



Q. What is the best thing about the first wives book club?
It gives me a chance to expand my reading repertoire and hang with some lovely first wives….very important since I’m a first wife in training!

Q. What is your all time favourite book?
A prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

Q. If you could meet any author in the world, who would it be and why?
Hmmm….good question….maybe William Shakespeare (Does he count as an author?), I’d love to ask him how and why he invented the word ‘bubble’ – such a cool claim to fame!

Q. What is your favourite colour?
PINK! (But am partial to Red lipstick)




Bev - currently busy reading, more details soon!

Q. What is the best thing about the first wives book club?
A great bunch of people who inspire me to read more than I otherwise would, and Bev’s sensational baking!

Q. What is your all time favourite book?
Its hard to pick just one, but probably Dr Seuss’s “The Sneeches” because I’ve loved it for a LONG time.


Q. If you could meet any author in the world, who would it be and why?
Me! I’m not an author yet, but its one of my dreams.

Q. What is your favourite colour?
Red



Karen - currently busy reading, more details soon!

Q. What is the best thing about the first wives book club?
The company. It's a completely adult indulgence. The Bev Hewett Special Muffins!


Q. What is your all time favourite book?
3-way tie based on number of times I've re-read them. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Series by Douglas Adams, the Harry Potter Series by J K Rowling and the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer.


Q. If you could meet any author in the world, who would it be and why?
Hmmmm...J K Rowling in the hopes we would become BFFs and in a fit of generosity she would gift me a million or so?? Nicholas Evans so I could give him an ear-bashing about why he should never have ended The Horse Whisperer that way?? Maybe Harper Lee so I could ask whether it was really her or Truman Capote who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.

Q. What is your favourite colour?
Again, a 3-way tie between Red, Blue and Green. Honestly, I'm really not that indecisive....

What's the time?

Hi there,


Okay, so the First Wives Book Club might have been set on Grenwich Mean Time up until now. But hey, I was just testing to see who'd notice....


Yeah, right.


We're on Melbourne time now people - look alive!!

One more day to go...




Only one more reading day until the First Wives Book Club meets again - hooray!


I didn't know that there was a movie of The Lovely Bones, but here are a few still images from the movie. The first image is heaven (of course!)



Susie Salmon wearing the hat that was found after her murder. She looks just like I had imagined her to look - I love it when that happens!

Jack Salmon - Susie's Dad. Woo hoo - Susie's Dad is a hottie!! (This sentiment could possibly be a a hangover from 'The Notebook" - he was such a SPUNK in that movie.)


Susie with Grandma Lynn.


Thats enough pictures now - I think I can smell a movie night coming up with the First Wives sometime soon.....

See you tomorrow night ladies!
