A che gioco giochiamo?

pick

A group of disparate, sort-of friends come together for a weekend tennis party and things end up blowing up rather spectacularly. Basically, the foibles of rich people and those adjacent. I enjoyed this as a nice palette cleanser and even learned about the Lloyd‘s Name situation back in the 80s/90s.

40 Love: A Novel | Madeleine Wickham

There is a book equivalent to wanting to eat cake and not vegetables, it's called Chick Lit. This story contains all the neurotic characters we've come to expect from the authors from across the pond. Fast, enjoyable read for when you want a mental vacation.

theresidentromantic Chick lit is such a guilty pleasure even for someone like me, who mostly reads romance novels and #kindlecrack lol I love Molly Harper but I need it in very small doses. 7y

cornfedwellread I picked this one up on clearance at Barnes and Noble a while back since I've enjoyed her Sophie Kinsella novels. Sometimes you just need to add a little fun into your reading life, and she's great for that. I liked reading her stuff in college when I wasn't the mood to read more serious books on top of stuff for class. 😉 7y

CarolynM I really enjoy Sophie Kinsella's books. Easy entertainment. 7y

Not book related - just being chatty! 😁 Been invited to see the tennis in Melbourne which is so #lucky but it means I had to go clothes shopping. I hate clothes shopping, anyone else in that club? Horrible mall, horrible trying things on, bleurgh. I am just Not Good at Clothes. Anyway I have some passable stuff now so I can go back to spending all my 💰 on 📚📚📚. PS for the life of me I can‘t find a dress or skirt I like. #ilovejeans 🤪

SassyBookworm Me too! I hate shopping! & I‘ve passed that on to my oldest daughter! We are jeans & t-shirt/hoodie kinda gals 😏 (edited) 7y

Cinfhen Oh you did great!!! Adorable outfits 🙌🏻💗💗💗 7y

Cinfhen And I love the shoes😍 7y

Centique Thank you @Cinfhen 😊 it took me a while to find something I felt comfortable in 🤞Those flat shoes with flowery bits are lifesavers - one of those brands that make comfy shoes 👍 7y

Centique @Chrysta23 yay! Nice to have others in the club 👏👏👏 My daughter likes clothes more than me but some days she‘ll just walk out wearing whatever she finds first, which can be 🤪🤣🙃😆 7y

Reggie Like the Australian Open as in the tennis in Melbourne? If so, WOW, I hope you have fun!!!! 7y

merelybookish Have fun! I'm sure the shopping will be worth it! ( But I get the jeans thing! Fortunately I live in a state where most people wear athleisure 24/7. Jeans are pretty dressy by comparison.) 7y

batsy I'm in the same club! But it looks like you did great, love the shoes especially those goldish(?) loafers/flats, I think? 😍 Have fun! 7y

Centique @Reggie yes! I‘ve never been to see any tennis live before, so it‘s exciting. My mother (who died a long time ago) was a tennis fanatic though so I‘ve watched a lot on TV. 7y

Centique @batsy thanks lovely 😊 Yes the loafers are a gold colour - trying to make flats look a bit more glam! 😂 7y

Centique @merelybookish yeah I feel like jeans are pretty dressy too! 7y

CarolynM It's always a fun day at the Oz Open. Have you got tickets for the arenas or a ground pass? 7y

Centique @CarolynM we‘re going with a company and I get an itinerary on Monday so I‘m not sure yet. Don‘t think it‘s corporate seating though, I‘m guessing the arena? 7y

CarolynM Yes, probably at Rod Laver. Lovely! Hope you get a chance to have a wander around some of the back courts too. 7y

chapter_fifty2017 Early in the week better as thurs/friday predicting 40 degree temperatures 😳 but u may love the heat i dont 😩😣 7y

Centique @chapter_fifty2017 I Hate the heat! I‘m worried about that too. But we‘re going next week not this week so fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 7y
