Each month novelist and creative writing professor Joshua Henkin shares behind-the-scenes stories about his visits with book clubs — in person, over the phone and online with Reading Group Guides, an online resource for reading groups.
Be sure to check back each month to read the rest of the series! I think it’s wonderful that Mr. Henkin makes himself available to book clubs like this. No matter how good the writer, a reader always has questions so having him available is a definite plus!
Mr. Henkin’s latest book is Matrimony which I really enjoyed. You can read more about Mr. Henkin and Matrimony here.
How was your Valentine’s Day? We stayed home and ordered Chinese take-out which was really, really yummy. I wanted to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall but after the kids went to bed, we ended up watching Sex and the City (the movie) as my husband had not seen it. We enjoyed it. Since I had already seen the movie, I was reading Things I Want My Daughters To Know by Elizabeth Noble. My husband hates it when I read and watch a movie at the same time but I have no problems with it. I am more than half-way through the book and slowly it is growing on me, but I am not in love with the characters and it’s causing me to skim a bit.
Today I am attending a Creative Memories scrapbooking workshop for a few hours and then later tonight we are going to see a theatrical production of High School Musical. My kids are really looking forward to it.
So for the most part, my weekend has been nice and relaxing and that’s exactly how I like it! How about yours?
