Saturday Morning
Saturday Morning | Lauraine Snelling
16 posts | 1 to read
Broken by life's disappointments, four women forge a friendship that leads in unexpected directions. Hope Benson is determined to do all she can for the broken souls who come to Casa de Jesus, a women's shelter in the heart of San Francisco. When a difficult pregnancy forces her to relinquish control, she draws support and strength from an unlikely group of women, each struggling with her own heartbreak. Andy Taylor, a reluctant transplant to California, was compelled to leave behind her lavender-growing business and her home of twenty-some years to support her workaholic husband's pursuit of career success. Attorney Julia Collins is searching for her teenage granddaughter, believed to be living on the streets. And Clarice Van Dam's life has been shattered by the disappearance of her husband, who appears to have relieved her of all earthly possessions except a fur coat and her overnight bag. Drawn together at the weekend market held in the shelter's parking lot, the women pool their resources to fend off an unscrupulous conglomerate that threatens to replace the facility with a commercial development. As they fight to retain this haven for women in need, they find their own longings for home answered by the solace of faith and friendship.

Some Saturday laughs.

And yes, I realize the last one is not book related but we spent last night doing our taxes and now I have $3500 fewer dollars to spend on books so I‘m a little more than pissed off over that. 🤬🤬🤬

julesG The one on the right could be me. 😂😂😂 5y
cathysaid @julesG Right? So many of us book lovers are also introverts 😬 5y
TheBookKeepers Hahaha these are all spot on. Tax season sucks 👎 5y

Just a comfy Saturday morning! Enjoying a few quiet moments with my #OwlPost book. I‘m not sure Sietje could get any more comfortable! And you can just see Froedrick‘s head under the striped blanket.

It's Saturday morning here but I'm sure it's still okay to join in on #friyayintro hosted by @jesshowbooks

1. Notting Hill
2. Too many to choose from so I'll pick one from earlier this year - our weekend in Cape Town in South Africa. Being at the top of Table Mountain, driving along the oceanside ride. Wine tasting at a winery at the end. Perfect couple of days
3. Cookbooks
4. Purple
5. What's you favourite thing to do other than reading?

Jess_Franzino I write (not sure if that counts, since I consider it part of my ‘work‘), and I love going to the gym. 6y
Samplergal I love to go camping with the hubs. We really have a blast. 6y
LeeRHarry I love to catch up with friends - it‘s fun to have a gossip and a giggle! 6y

Totally letting the kids have a little screen time so I can read quietly. Not sure what it says about my parenting skills but it will keep me sane. #momneedstoread

1. Definitely summer. There‘s nothing I dislike more than a coat.
2. Fiction, although I have been picking up some non-fiction lately.
3. No, but we‘re putting one together!
4. E-book

SilversReviews GREAT on putting together a book club. How fun. Thanks for playing. 6y
Pamwurtzler @SilversReviews yes, @Karkar is the instigator & I‘m just the sidekick. I think it will be fun though! 6y

Happy Saturday Littens! What‘re your #weekendplans?

I plan to read week 3‘s suggested reading of #Beartown for #litsybuddyread, do some laundry, and then attend my youngest brother-in-law‘s surprise 30th birthday. Beartown is becoming unputdownable! 🤓📚

CocoReads Reading, writing, going to a wine tasting thing with my parents tomorrow. 6y
darklydreaming Trying to get back into reading again after a week of failed attempts :( family visits today and some hot yoga tomorrow. Have a great one!! 6y

julesG Cleaning, doing the laundry, cooking, baking, decluttering. If there is any reading time left, it'll be Sunday evening around 10. There's so much to do. 6y
Soubhiville Beartown is compelling! I hope you enjoy it! I‘m volunteering all weekend with my local Friends of the Library booksale! 6y
Sharpeipup Hiding from the winter storm. 6y
TheLibrarian Baby shower and hosting my parents for the weekend. They bring their dogs and my cat does not approve at all 😹 6y

BookwormM I am aiming to finish Suite Francaise 6y
CaitlinR Working today. Ice storm tonight 😱Reading and cleaning Sunday. More of the former than the latter. 6y
BiblioLitten We have a spring festival so Sunday is really special. Don't think I'll be able to squeeze in any reading though. 6y
Slajaunie I am going to stay on the couch all day to read. “Suspicion” by Alexandra Monir. We have some really bad weather about to come through so what choice do I have? 6y
bedandabook I loved Beartown; enjoy your reading! I‘ve just come back from a London Littens meet up, which was so much fun. Lovely to put some faces to names and meet some new ones too. 6y
SheReadsAndWrites Reading! 🤓❤️📖 6y
KimmyM I want to read all day!! I'm reading UNBURY CAROL and hoping to start something else today too. 6y
tammysue Happy Saturday! I‘m still working on spring cleaning, and will squeeze in a few library books that are due next week. 6y
bookaholic1 Woke up with sniffles, so I will get down to reading NIGHT SCHOOL by Lee Child today 6y
PathfinderNicole We are in the middle of a freezing rain warning and the likelihood of power outages are high so I‘ll be preparing for that then reading, playing a video game, and playing board games with my husband and son! 6y
BookBridget Heat wave in Philadelphia - probably get up to 80! Reading on my deck, then if I'm feeling ok (have had a bad cold all week), going out on a date night with hubby. Plan to walk around a cute town near here, get a drink and have dinner. 6y
Kristelh Sitting at home watching the blizzard and reading The Here and Now 6y
britt_brooke So far, I got in a 1-hr spin class and some cleaning. Now about to read in the tub for a bit! 🛀 6y
Chelleo How was the party? Was he surprised? (edited) 6y
Jess7 Yes, he was! It turned out great. We went to Wild Ritas in Louisville for dinner, a really cool bourbon bar for a drink, and then back to the house for a family game night. I‘m exhausted now.. we were up till about 3 am playing trivial pursuit and cards against humanity. 🤣. @Chelleo the book fair pics looked awesome. Did you have a good time? (edited) 6y
Chelleo @Jess7 Glad it turned out well! Surprise parties stress me out just the tiniest bit 😂 The meetup, book fest, bookstore tour and the time with @LeshaMac the as great. I‘m just pooped! 6y

"Is it time to go to the park?"

"How bout now? Is it time now?

"I think it's time now."

AlaMich It's funny, my wife the first grade teacher reports that she gets the same questions from her students the first week of school 😊.They can't tell time and have no real sense of time, and they've never been to school all day before. 7y
AlaMich Only, of course, they're asking about recess. Or lunch. Or snack. Or going home. So many questions... 7y

Ashley_Nicoletto Happy Saturday Pickles!! 💚💚 7y
LauraBeth Take that baby for a walk 💕 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth We went to the dog park, boss. A little girl in the playground next to the dog park "adopted" Pickles as her favorite and serenaded us with a chant of "Go Pickles, you can do it! Go Pickles, you can do it!" for a LOOOONG time. 7y
ValerieAndBooks Aww, Pickles looks like she's smirking!! And funny... as I started to type "pickles", my phone automatically capitalized her name before I was even finished typing ?! 7y
MicheleinPhilly @ValerieAndBooks HA! Yesterday my friend told me that she was texting with her boyfriend while he was at the grocery store. She told him that they needed pickles and her phone autocorrected to Pickles. ☺️ 7y
ValerieAndBooks 😂! That's how popular Pickles is!! 7y
Libby1 Gorgeous. 💕 7y
LauraBeth Well that would have been awesome if Pickles was going potty 😂 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth Personally I think she was a little serial killer in training. She told me that her favorite thing is "dog wars, when they're all in a big pile like that and trying to bite each other's legs off." ? 7y
LauraBeth Oh no! 😟 That's not good! I used to travel internationally with my old boss and he'd always take his kids. He had a little boy, Sam, and I thought he'd be a serial killer. He was mean. Liked to torture animals and such. And then my old boss sent me a picture of him recently - all grown up, mature, graduated from medical school and is a doctor. So there's hope for her! 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBeth OR the bodies will just have clean cuts or limbs neatly amputated and the detectives will say, "Someone with medical training." (Sorry, we got our second Hunt a Killer box today.) 7y
LauraBeth ???? I have no problem saying, "If you're not going to parent your child, then please, let me..." 7y
