On a Someday - Roxanne Henke

on Wednesday, March 23, 2011


This story is about Claire West and her family. Claire is a college professor and close to retirement. She had tried to author a book for the past five years but has not gotten it to be reviewed by a book publisher. One of her friends asks her to give it a shot and it turns out to be a best seller and there starts her chain of lectures to promote the book.

Claire is married to Jim who is a owner of grocery stores. He bought an old car to restore 'someday' when he retires.

His son Drew is a loan officer in New York and gets married and then his wife pushes him to move to his home town. She feels being closer to grandma and grandpa would be nicer for the son they now have.

Jim initially wants Drew to take over his business and Drew doesnt want to. How does the story end? It's all about 'someday'. When will that blessed 'someday' come in our lives?

Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog - John Grogan


Oh I had heard a lot about this book and the movie. But Im a book lover and hence wanted to read the book before watching the movie. I loved the book! I must say I've never been much happy with the idea of a dog at home. But after reading the book, I want one and want one NOW! Especially a lab. I find them as puppies so cute. I want them to never grow :D always be those cute adorable puppies.

Now onto the book review, it's about the newly married couple John and Jenny who are settling down in Florida. Jenny decides she wants a dog to nurture so that she can practise her mothering skills :) They get Marlet and life changes totally heheh. He's a cute puppy who grows up into a huge dog who acts crazy. The book is about the life of John and Jenny and how their life changes through Marley. A good read!
