The other night Dan and I watched Fool's Gold, the new Matthew McConaughey/ Kate Hudson chick flick. It was ok but not really that great. Not that there was anything bad... it was just kind of lame. So I don't really recommend it.
I was looking online for the author that most of us have read, Naomi Ragen, (Sotah is one of hers I think we all have read,) and I saw that she has a lot more books that I haven't read yet! (Yay! :)) I'm listing all her books below, in case any of you want to request them at your libraries or order them. (I use half.com for buying a lot of my books; unless it's a brand new book, you can find most titles for around $5-8.)
Sotah (1994)*
Jephte's Daughter (1995)*
The Sacrifice of Tamar (1996)*
The Ghost of Hannah Mendes (1998)*
Chains Around the Grass (2002)
The Covenant (2005)
Women's Minyan (2006)
The Saturday Wife (2007)
* I own these, and if you are interested in borrowing one or more, let me know before our next get-together and I'll bring it along!
I know Duke mentioned this already, but if anyone reads a good author, please post about it. I am always looking to expand my author horizons. :)

A Great Movie and Book
Last night Dan went out quading with Anj and a friend, so I decided to catch up on laundry (5 loads!) and watch a movie. I watched Les Miserables (the 1998 version w/ Liam Neeson and Uma Thurman) and I really enjoyed it.
I've never read the book or seen the play (or seen any other version of the movie!) so it was totally new for me, which was fun. I really recommend it. The story is of a ex-convict and his parole officer and takes place over about about 30 years. I found myself thinking several times during the movie that I had no clue how it was going to end! So big props for that movie-- it was clean and very well done.
I also just re-read The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. I am not a huge NS fan, (the sex scenes and occasional swearing irk me) but this one is one of my favorites, and if you are looking for a fun, easy, clean summer read, I recommend it highly. :-)
