This is Danine. We all know her in Third Saturdays. She is the one who first coined the phrase in reference to us "We Rock!". Actually what she really said is "We So Rock!". And we so do! Danine is one of the most creative people I will probably ever know. She hides it a lot at book club. I've heard her referred to as "the one who knits". She is a multi-tasker. She recently told me she makes copies of all the books we read. Not "copies". I'm talking about art. Cut out images of the covers. A cut out of fabric, or some such material, image of the girl on the cover of the Hedgehog book. That sort of copy of a book cover. Very creative. She has a two year old daughter, a husband, and another job besides those two and gets more done in a day than a team of ten. At book club she might be quiet, or make an occasional comment, but always knitting like a fiend. But read her Blog! Or her Facebook page, her book list puts most to shame. She sometimes lowers her standards and we lunch together. She is my therapist. Lucky her. Lucky me!
AT ANY RATE, she is the one who chose our book for September, "She Got Off The Couch......" the sequel to "Zippy" by Haven-oh dear I'm away from my desk, Haven something. What do we think of this book? I bought them both, was on Amazon, able to buy Zippy for an additional dollar or something, you know those deals, and so I did read Zippy first. Didn't have to read it, I do tire of always having to read only what is on the reading list due to the time between meetings. Both books, I thought, were the sort you can pick up and read randomly. I won't say much about them because that is what our meeting is for. But I did keep looking for what the book was about. When I decided to just enjoy it, I liked it much better. Was she neglected? She seemed like a happy child. What was the deal with that family? Where is the explanation? Perhaps like an art house film there isn't one, or maybe one of you can tell me, you are an insightful bunch.....
