The Sunday Salon: Free Read For Interested Viewers

 

Today’s Sunday Salon is about a free electronic book offer that you can get in on, if you are interested, at The LibraryThing.

 

I’ve been in touch with SourceBooks about the book In the Land of Invisible Women.  This book is of interest to me because of my strong beliefs in women’s rights and equality.  From what I understand, Dr. Qanta Ahmed’s In the Land of Invisible Women is nearing bestseller status.  SourceBooks has partnered up with LibraryThing.com to put together an electronic giveaway of 2,500 ebook downloads of her memoir about being a female physician in the Saudi Kingdom.  Here is the information on the book: 

In the Land of Invisible Women (ISBN: 978-14022-1087-7; September 2; $14.99 US / $15.99 CAN; Trade Paperback) is the story of a western-trained Muslim female doctor (Ahmed) who spent two years working in the top hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.  What began as a job initiated by a visa problem, quickly became a struggle and search for self empowerment, freedom and the right to follow her own truth.

 

Dr. Ahmed’s memoir is a fascinating and revelatory window into an enigmatic world.  Like Azar Nafisi’s Reading Lolita in Tehran, Dr. Ahmed provides a telling picture of what daily life is truly like in the Saudi Kingdom.  She describes:

 

• How physicians trained by Jewish doctors in the United States applauded and cheered when hijacked planes destroyed the Twin Towers on 9/11
• How men and women find marriage partners in a society that allows no dating and physical contact, and where they flee to have affairs
• How Saudi women who are supported by advanced thinking parents and who must wear abbayas with their bodies fully encased are able to defy the Saudi’s oppressive rules and mores to become physicians
• How she worked side-by-side with Wahabi scholars and physicians who seemed to shun her even in clinical contact
• Why the religious police are so threatening and dangerous
• How a father grieves
• Her encounters with sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, sycophancy

 

Dr. Ahmed also evokes moments where she finds tenderness and true beauty in areas where she least expects it; at the tattered, curled edges of extremism. The last leg of her journey takes readers inside the Hajj, as she journeys to Mecca with 2.5 million other Muslims to perform the sacred duty incumbent upon every able-bodied Muslim in his or her lifetime.

 

In the Land of Invisible Women  is a fascinating look inside a culture that has become so

relevant to our own.

 

From October 27^th – 31^st, her book will be available for downloadto any LibraryThing member (membership is free).  Dr. Qanta Ahmed is going to make herself available to her readers by providing two weeks of author chat.  From what I understand, that means every week-night for two weeks, readers can post questions for Qanta on the LibraryThing website which she will then attempt to answer. 

So, if all of this sounds good to you, head on over to The LibraryThing and hook yourself up with an electronic copy!  I can’t wait to read your reviews… it’s on my TBR!

Best wishes for a relaxing Sunday, everybody!

 

 

 

THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT FAT!

‘Dancing’ Pros Should Probably Shut Up

Cheryl Burke

 

(AOL, LLC: Oct. 23) – ‘Dancing With the Stars’ professionals Louis van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy probably don’t have many female friends.  The pros are both speaking up about fellow dancers, Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer, who they say need to lose weight.

“If you want to gain weight, it’s your prerogative. We all put on weight because there was no summer tour. But you have to deal with the consequences,” van Amstel tells TV Guide.

“When I first saw these women this season, I said, ‘Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds. You have to do something about this,’” Chmerkovskiy adds.

“[People] look at this show to be inspired and think, ‘If I just work hard enough, I can look like that.’ If they watch someone who’s dancing her butt off and she’s still heavy, they can be discouraged. You have to take responsibility,” van Amstel finishes.

Lacey

I mean, who are we kidding here?  I’d call them beautiful.  I’d call them talented.  I’d even call them athletic, slim, skinny, or fit.  BUT, I’D NEVER CONSIDER THEM OVER-WEIGHT.  Louie and Maksim can just “SUCK IT!”

Book Lover’s Reading Round Robin

Let’s live on the wild side…

Let’s read a book that…

…we didn’t order

…we didn’t get from a publisher (not that we mind!)

…we didn’t review for a book tour

…we didn’t get as a gift (or hand-me-down)

… we have “BOOO-KOOO” time to read

_________________________________________________

 This is how it will “fly”……

* Choose a book that you really enjoyed, for whatever reason… “The Robin’s Egg”

* Write a post.  In your post, name another blog’s site as the receiver of your Robin’s Egg (aka “The Nester”). (You may want to email them, or link to them so they know an Egg has been placed in their nest).

* The Nester has a choice…

(A)  Adopt your Robin’s Egg (which is a mystery), or

(B) Contact another blogger for a random book suggestion. 

In the event your Nester accepts your Robin’s Egg, you must reveal the book to them.  The Nester shall read your Robin’s Egg and subsequently review it on their post on or before February 15, 2009.  In the event your Nester takes Option B, the Recipient shall review and post about that random book assignment by February 15th, as well.  Keep in mind, if the Nester elects to go Route B, then your Robin’s Egg is still available and you may choose another blogger to “Lay the Egg” on!  Another note… you have to stick with Option B’s random suggestions if you elect Option B.  No further window shopping or bargaining for Robin’s Eggs!

* The Nester must then ALSO “Lay An Egg!”  That recipient shall then start the same process from the start with a new Nester… and so on, and so on!

 IMPORTANT RULES: 

If the Nester doesn’t want to participate (BOOO), that’s okay!  Just start again with another blogger.

If some body’s already “Laid An Egg” on you, you can respectfully decline your receipt of any further Robin’s Eggs…. or, if you’re insane, you can adopt another Robin’s Egg into your nest!  The best way to avoid too many Robin’s Eggs, would be to write a post when “You’ve Been Egged”…. share who “Egged You” and what’s now on your nightstand (a.k.a. TBR) and share who you’re Laying your Robin’s Egg on to continue the Book Lover’s Round Robin.

When you write your post and your review, in order to keep the Round Robin/Meme noticeable, please use the following badge:

This can also help others see if you’ve been “Egged” or not yet!

By the end, we should have all linked to other great sites, read books that we would have never dreamed of reading, and have gotten, well, you know… “egged” (ahem, I wanted to say the other word!)

If I omitted something in the rules, please feel free to contact me and I’ll amend the post!  Also, if you need help with posting the badge, please email me at anovelmenagerie@aol.com and I’ll send you jiffy like instructions!

Best to All!

Book Review: My Husband’s Sweethearts

My Husband’s Sweethearts, a Novel

by:  Bridget Asher

I read a review of this book in People Magazine.  It was published along with the review of Yesterday’s Weather.  It was a good review and peaked my interest.  I purchased them both, simultaneously.

There’s not an elaborate discussion about why I chose this book, other than the premise of it really intrigued me.  In reading it, that intrigue kept me glued.  I very much enjoyed reading this novel.  I must say… this book has “Screenplay” written all over it!  Personally, I could imagine it as a movie that I would definitely go and see… I hope it makes it way to The Big Screen.  It would be interesting to see who they’d cast for the characters.

This book is simple, yet complex.  It is written at just the right pace, with wonderful little “nuggets” of wisdon and insight into love, death, and family.  Simply, I would recommend this book along with many of the other ones that I’ve reviewed this Fall.  Speaking of Fall, this book is on my Fall Into Reading 2008 Challenge (link is below).

The Review:

Title:  My Husband’s Sweethearts, a novel

Author:  Bridget Asher

Author’s Website: http://www.bridgetasher.com/

Publisher:  Bantam-Dell / Delacorte Press

Publisher’s Website: www.bantamdell.com

Type:  Fiction

ISBN #:978-0-385-34189-9 (Hardcover)

Pages: 271

This book is a story of Lucy, a woman married to Artie, a dying man.  Lucy is an auditor with a well-established career and leading a “successful” life.  We meet Lucy, and her assistant Lindsay, while she is on a business trip.  The reader discovers that her dying husband has been cheating on her during her 4-year marriage to him.  She has been away from Artie for 6 months on trips in order to avoid him due to his “transgressions.”  Artie makes, what I believe to be, the sweetest attempts to win her back.  He does so by sending her flowers, wherever she is at on her business trips, accompanied by small flower cards with numbered reasons as to why he loves her.  These cards span from memories they shared to actual things about her and/or their relationship.

She arrives home, takes up residence in the guest bedroom, and is faced with the fact that Artie has only, at most, one month left to live.  In summary, he gives her his “black book” of sweethearts.  The reason being is that she is bitter that she must endure his death alone… and why should she when he has these other women in his life?  Why aren’t they enduring this as well?  So, back to the guest bedroom she heads, black book in hand.  In a drunken mindset, she makes a few calls, after midnight, to these women and leaves them messages to “schedule their time with Artie” while he is on his deathbed.  Most hang up or ignore the call… but, two women do not: Eleanor and Elspa. 

Elspa is an eccentric young woman, piercings, crazy hair and all.  She left college to stay at Lucy’s home to share Artie’s last days.  Eleanor, a bitter woman who is closer to Artie’s age (early 50’s), also arrives to read him the riot act.  Lucy’s Mother, Joan, is also a presence in Lucy’s home… keeping up the garden and attempting to be there for Lucy.  She brings along her dachshund, Bogie, who is overly endowed and wears homemade “jockstraps” to keep his appendage from scraping on the ground (we love Bogie and Lucy’s Mom).

Lucy makes the managerial decision to have Eleanor orchestrate the visits of all of the sweethearts in the blackbook.  In addition, Elspa is to reach her dream of getting her 3-year old daughter back from her parents.  Joan is to handle Artie’s funeral arrangements, as she is a multiple-time widow and the right person for the job.  Lastly, Lucy’s goal is to reunite Artie with his grown son, John, and for John to learn about is father before his death.

This host of characters is a perfect compliment to Lucy and Artie’s journey of healing and forgiveness during his last days.  What they discover, is that there is a common love shared amongst them all.  How they get to that familial love is for the reader to discover when they pick up this great read.

My Favorite Quotes From the Book:

 ”Love isn’t logical,” I insist.  “It’s immune to logic.”

Title of a Chapter: “You Can’t Always Eat Your Way Out of a Problem-but If You Want to Try, Begin with Chocolate”

“He has a depth of attention that comes with his love that is keen and sharp.”

“Everyone should hear their own eulogies-but the notes, aren’t they kind of a love song?  And aren’t the best eulogies a kind of love song?”

“We need to love each other again, with all that love entails-even the hard things, like forgiveness and acceptance.  I don’t think it makes logical sense-that one love can bring back another love-but it’s true.”

“Does my soul look fat in this body?”

On Sher’s ”One to Ten Scale:” 

I like the kind of books that keep me up, in bed, at night… that I just can’t close my eyes because I want to keep learning the story.  This story did that for me.  Mainly, I think, because this is a story that I could see really happening to somebody.  And, Lucy is such a great protagonist… a person that I can relate with as to how she deals with things.  When I read a story like this… and it grabs me… not because of anything other than my soul can relate… then, I have to say I really liked the book.  Bridget Asher earns a 9!  I’d share this book with a girlfriend, no qualms about it.

DWTS: Season’s Half-Way Point Is Full-Blown Entertainment!

October 20th…

DWTS: TONIGHT’S SHOW WAS GREAT!

What a night and such a smart change in the platform of the show.  This week, they had the couples dance head-to-head on 4 new styles of dance: West Coast Swing, The Hustle, Salsa, & The Jitterbug.  Way to go, ABC!  I dug it.  The show was organized better, and the viewers could better compare one couple against the other!

Before I get into my commentary on the couples, some general observations that I wanted to share with you!

• Len wanted to get “down and dirty” tonight?  Is Len feeling frisky?
• Harold Wheeler and The Band were ON FIRE!  Even my kids said… who is that band?  They are so good!  They sound just like the album song!  A shout out to Harold!  Hollah!
• I hated Samantha Harris’ “do” this week.  It looked icky.
• Who is that hunkie guy sitting behind Bruno that we get to gaze at during Bruno’s comments? 

The “low-down” on this week’s couples:

Brooke & Derek

I’m going to get “boo’s” for my commentary on them this week.  The song they danced to was “Don’t Be Cruel” by the infamous Elvis Presley… I’m going to be cruel… I apologize… I apologize!

They had The Jitterbug and faced off against Julianne & Cody.  Derek was not familiar with this dance, so he did INTERNET RESEARCH to improve their routine!  Ahhh, the Internet!  First, in the film of their practicing, Derek is wearing a scrunchie in his hair.  E-gads!  That’s not hunkie!  But, my daughter still thinks he’s cute.  According to Derek, the Internet research claimed the dance should look like a cartoon.  I guess, that it did. 

The judges LOVED IT.  Len told Derek that he had hair “like a bird sanctuary” and that Len had the same hair as Derek in 1959.  But, his hair was amuck in the scoring section, so Cloris went and licked her hand and fixed it during judging! 

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 10

Len Goodman: 9

Bruno Tonlioni: 10

TOTAL SCORE: 29

What?  Did nobody see it when they weren’t in sync with each other?  Sigh.  Whatever.

 

Julianne & Cody

I loved, loved, loved their Jitterbug!  But, then, I Love Lucy! 

They did a dance in the I Love Lucy Theme that was straight on the mark!  From their looks (loved Julianne’s hair), to their costumes, to their moves… they had it down!  Cody even had his hair dark!

In the rehearsal film, Julianne nearly killed Cody with the lifts (poor Cody).  But, by showtime, he had them!  Before the performance, the film also showed Cody telling us that he was going to take Brooke down and that “America needed change”, implying he was the one to bring it!  It made me smile!

Did I say that I loved the dance?  I guess I did.

The judges seemed to really like it.  But, after they gave their scores… which should have been higher than Brooke & Derek’s… the crowd boo’d the judges!  I boo’d too!  In my never to be humble opinion, they won the Jitterbug, hands down!

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 10

Len Goodman: 9

Bruno Tonlioni: 9

TOTAL SCORE: 28 (What?)

 

 

Cloris & Corky (aka “Clorky”)

They had the Salsa this week.  Oh, no!  More groping from Corky all over Cloris.  No more “Grabby Grabby, Corky…”  No, my wish did not come true!

I loved the rehearsal film showing Cloris with her fans.  Very cool!  She’s the hippest 82 year old I’ve ever seen.  For her to make it to the 1/2 way mark was huge!  I loved Cloris’ eyeshadow, super electric.  I also really liked Corky’s shoes… ultra cool! 

The dance was okay.  I liked it, other than Corky’s constant molestation of Cloris, including the boob grab.  Yes, the DOUBLE boob grab.  Ugh.  

Now, to the judges’ remarks.  Bruno said, “The Old Girl can still turn a trick!”  When it came to Carrie Ann’s turn, Cloris apologized to her profusely for “being born.”  Then, Cloris asks Len how old he is after he mentions to her that she is older than he is.  Len tells her he’s 64.  Cloris then proceeds to tell him that he’s a “baby.”  Len tells her that she’s “hotter than a chili pepper.”

But, the best part of all is in the Red Room.  When Samantha asks Cloris what character Corky had her portray for this dance, she can’t remember the exact name of the character… “it was the something ho.”  As she is trying to think of it, asking her co-stars, Corky is “whispering ’sweet nothings’ into her ear,” but it looked disgusting.  ICK!  Then Cloris says, “A Skanky Ho!”  YEAH!  I love the word SKANK!  Whoo-HOOOO!  Go Cloris, it’s your birthday, Go Cloris, it’s ya’ birthday!

 The Judges’ scores….

Carrie Ann Inaba: 7

Len Goodman: 7

Bruno Tonlioni: 7

TOTAL SCORE: 21 (Is that enough to beat Susan?  Fingers crossed!)

 

Maurice & Cheryl 

The Salsa competitors!  They were great.  Of the two couples, they won the Salsa, no contest!

The costumes were frickin’ awesome.  I loved the colors!  Cheryl was really mean to Mo in the rehearsal film.  She accused him of being lazy and not caring.  I don’t know if that what spurred him onto this great performance, but her chastising helped!  They were really in-sync, and hot, hot hot!  Cheryl is not as familiar with Latin as she is ballroom, so it was a bit tough on her, too!  But, she choreographed a very classic Salsa, with all of the right ingredients!  Ole!

The dips during the spins were tremendous.  Although, I’m sure they didn’t get 1/2 the praise as the lifts of the other couples… but, they are very hard to do right.  Also, Cheryl’s head drop down to Mo’s foot and the bounce up!  TERRIFIC!  Plus, Mo was shaking his “Boo-Tay” and did a great back-bend himself!  

The judges seemed to really like it.  Carrie Ann loved it and called Mo over for a hug.  Really good comments from the judges.  P.S. Mo’s boogey’ing down the steps at the beginning made me giggle out loud.

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 9

Len Goodman: 9

Bruno Tonlioni: 9

TOTAL SCORE: 27 (Good.)

Lance & Lacey

They got The West Coast Swing.  Now, Lacey’s entire family are swing dancers and she’s a national W.C.S. champion.  So, we expected a lot.

Some background that I’d like to share.  As I’ve mentioned before, I fell in love with Lacey’s dancing on So You Think You Can Dance.  Her brother, Benji, was a winner of this show 2 seasons before.  Their parents have a dance studio and raised them in dance.  In the rehearsal film, we see Lacey’s Dad.  Boy, does Benji resemble his father.  But, then the sappy part of the film… Lance goes on and on about how he was almost kicked out of In-Sync when it was being signed/developed because he was the worst dancer.  BooHooHoo, you rich boy!  Kinda made me gag.  Life could be a whole lot harder!  I saw you and Kathy Griffin in Australia!  You are so not hurting for anything!  Plus, you get hotter guys than me.

Moving onto the dance.  Lacey out danced him.  And, boy, did she get her hand slapped for it.  In addition, Lance fell on the slide.  But, Lacey looked super hot in her outfit and I really liked her hair. 

Lacey got a tounge lashing from the judges for not dancing more with her partner…. more like she was dancing around him.  Also, they said that it was “Dancing With the Stars, not Dancing Around the Stars.”  Oh, no, Lacey!  Bad Bad.  But, she think Len has it out for her anyway and keeps making comments about being the new girl.  Lacey… buck up!  Go get them next week!  Len even said that Lacey was “too much of a showboat!”  Atleast Lance danced better than Susan!

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 7

Len Goodman: 7

Bruno Tonlioni: 7

TOTAL SCORE: 21 (Are you kidding me?  The same score as Cloris?  Highway Robbery!)

 

Toni & Alec

The West Coast Swing Opponents… well, not so much swing in their step!

First off, I totally assume and hope that is a wig Toni is sporting.  Her hair is so gorgeous, it better be!  Kudos to Toni.  She is just such a smokin’ hot chick!  Her body is insane and she is so beautiful.  I want to look exactly like her in my next life… please, God, please!  I like Toni.  I like Alec.   I didn’t like their dance.  I mean, it was okay.  But, not great.  Toni’s steps were precise, but the rhythm of their dance was way too slow!  Then, Bruno hated their moonwalk in the midst of it (even though it was Michael Jackson).  Len thinks that Toni needs to re-group because she has all of the attributes of a good dancer.  See?  He thinks she has a smokin’ bod, too!

The winners for the W.C.S.:  Lacey and Lance, although the judges scores didn’t agree with me on that one!

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 7

Len Goodman: 7

Bruno Tonlioni: 8

TOTAL SCORE: 22 (So unfair!)

Susan and Tony

My, oh my… Susan’s broken two bones.  And, yet, she rallies!  She wants to dance.  Frown.  She’s going to try to dance The Hustle.

Everybody seems to love Susan, but me.  Let’s start with what I like about Susan:  great hair this week!  The cut and funky colors made you look great!  Also, cool boots, Suz!  She looked super sexy. 

Now, for my review.  First, the rehearsal film showing pics of her at Studio 51.  NO!  God, help! 

Now for my review, ahem.  The dance.  It’s like watching this:  Susan is counting, aloud in her head, “One and Two… Three and Four”  and on every count, she bounces her steps like a manequin doll, barbie cheerleader from The Valley of the Dolls.  Then, when she gets ready for a lift (yes, she stops and gets ready for the lift)… it’s like her head is saying aloud: “O.K., you can lift me now.”  THE HORROR!

OK, now the judges… Len tells her to get her knickers off and for Tony to get her out of her glass house.  Len then goes on to say that he wants it rough.  Oh, Len… you’re so naughty!  Are we talkin’ a little black leather?  Hmmm…

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 7

Len Goodman: 7

Bruno Tonlioni: 8

TOTAL SCORE: 22 (Are you freaking kidding me?!?  Better than Lance & Lacey?  BOOOOOOOO!!!!!)

 

 

 

Warren and Kym

Every week, I love them more and more!

They not only got The Hustle… they KILLED IT!  They beat the pants, and go-go boots, off of Susan and Tony!  Well, anybody could…

The goods:  Kym’s outfit was killer rad!  Super electric funky hip disco chick!  She looked spectacular.  In my life after the one that I have with Toni Braxton’s body & looks, I want Kym Johnson’s body!  Holy smokes, Batman!  And, Warren.  I JUST ABSOLUTELY ADORE WARREN!  He’s so dreamy!  Come and dance with ME, Warren!  Me!  Pick me!

Their Hustle was to Fuuunnnnnkkky Town (do do do-dodo, do, do do do!)  Won’t you take me down, to FUNKY TOWN!?!  Yes, I want to go with Warren to FUNNNNNKY Town!  He was totally AWESOME.  The breakdown:

• The Snake
• Saturday Night Fever’s John Travolta Finger in the Air
• The Robot
• Moonwalk
• The “Giddie Up”
• The Remarkable Lifts
• The “S” on the back of his vest.

The judges seemed to really like it.   Bruno’s sexed up comment was, “huge climax at the end!”  (Gag, Bruno!)  It’s too bad they didn’t judge it adequately.

The Judges’ Scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8 (What?)

Len Goodman: 8 (You have to be kidding me!)

Bruno Tonlioni: 9 (At least has 1/2 a brain)

TOTAL SCORE: 25 (That’s just completely ridiculous.  Want to noodle whip the judges)

 

So…. my favorites of the night, in order of how much I loved them:

Kym & Warren

Maurice & Cheryl

Julianne & Cody

Lance & Lacey

Brooke & Derek

Toni & Alec

Cloris & Corky

Susan & Tony (Cool Daddy of twins with super white teeth)
