There’s still time to join us in planning “the week ahead”, and to enter to win a Page-A-Day Book Lover’s Calendar. I picked up the calendar from our local bookstore, so I’m ready to send it out to the winner at the end of September. Find the details here.
A snapshot of what may, or may not, happen in my life this week:
Monday 8/25/08 – To the Post Office to mail The Gargoyle to cheesygiraffe, the winner of the giveaway. 
I’m sending my second (personal) copy to Kimberly at Fit at Forty Plus; Kimberly is unable to run (her passion) while she recovers from outpatient surgery, and really, really, really wants to read this book. She has agreed to write a guest review for my blog and to mail back the book so I can read it … a win-win situation!
Tuesday 8/26/08 -If it’s Tuesday, it must be time for Tuesday Thingers … I wonder what the Boston Bibliophile has in store for us this week!?
Wednesday 8/27/08 – Whether you call it mid-week, hump day, or just plain ol’ Wednesday, in Boston it’s “Prince Spaghetti Day!” (Does anyone else remember those ads?!). Wednesday means it’s time for an SOB – Spotlight on Bookstores. Today Lori from Lori’s Reading Corner offers a guest post about the New England Mobile Book Fair in Newton.
Thursday 8/28/08 – The Upsilamba book group, my friends in Connecticut, are meeting tonight to discuss Nancy Horan’s Loving Frank. I was hoping to arrange a “field trip” down to see them, but it doesn’t look like it will work out. The library has a copy that I requested, so I’ll try to read the book before Thursday, and maybe call in to chat about the book and catch up with those that weren’t in Boston for our “girls’ night out” last Friday.
Friday 8/29/08 – On Friday I’ll post my review of Ellen Meister’s The Smart One. I’m doing this review as
part of an author tour for Blog Stop Book Tours, the first time I’ve worked with this group. Click on the link to see a list of other blogs that have reviewed The Smart One as part of this tour. Along with the review I have a surprise for one lucky reader, to be announced with the review!
The Weekend – Best wishes to all for a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend. Enjoy this unofficial last weekend of summer!
