Another hello to my fabulous Practical Magic Read Alongers. It is kind of a bitter sweet hello since it is our last (except for the final giveaway and big Practical Magic Blog Party, hope you will join me for that as well). I thoroughly enjoyed my time with all of you and this book and hope you did to. Now onto the fun part.
The winner of the PBS credit OR $5 Amazon Gift Certificate or Handmade Bookmark with blue silk flower hair pin is
KKAT
Congratulations!
Please let me know which prize you would like cmoh@earthlink.net
Now onto the final section of the book, Levitation. First a quick review of how this all works.
Below you will find a few questions. Answer them to the best of your knowledge in the comments section. Please number your answers (you do not need to re-type the questions) and leave a way for me to get in contact with you (e-mail, blog address, PBS nickname).
For each question you answer correctly I will enter your name in the cauldron for this weeks prize (1 PBS credit OR $5 Gift Certificate from Amazon OR a handmade gift by me). You have until Thursday September 15th at noon EST to answer the questions. The winner will be announced on next weeks Read Along questions and have 48 hrs to claim their prize (I will redraw at that point if contact has not been made).
This weeks handmade prize is a Bookmark and 3 Witch Black Glittered Clothespin Magnets
1. What dinner does Sally make the night before they go to the Aunts? What do they eat instead?
2. What did Gillian get for having her hair chopped off?
3. What are the aunts first names? Which one has a nickname and what is it?
4. What happened to the mute waitress from the first section of the book and what is her name?
5. Who calls Gary to come to the Aunts?
Just for Fun:
When Gillian told Sally what she got for getting her hair cut off the Author doesn't make it clear if she is telling the truth or not. Do you think she was telling the truth? Do you think Sally believes her?
Now that it is all said and done I would like to ask your opinion of the men in this book. Do you like them? Do you think they are all similar in some way? If you had no choice and you had to be with one of them which one would you choose?
How many stars do you give this book?
Most important, would you do another read along if I offered one and if so what type of book would you most like to do?
Sorry no food this week, I really did want to make some lasagna and some cupcakes but it was a Chinese take out kind of week for me. Hope everyone is having a great week can't wait to read your answers.
1. Veg. lasagna, green bean salad, cherry cheesecake-lasagna burned, so they ate Chinese take out.
ReplyDelete2.$2000.
3. Aunt Frances and Aunt Bridget or Aunt Jet.
4.Irene moved to Florida after her husband died, remarried and opened a coffee shop.
5.Gillian called Gary and asked him to come to the aunts house.
Just for Fun:
Hard to say, but Gillian having the $2000. in her pocket is kind of like evidence of the truth. I don't think Sally totally believed her story though, but couldn't really dispute the money.
The men in the book sure were a mixed lot. I liked Gary. Not too sure about Sally's husband. Jimmye was definitely a bad word. Gideon is cool, if you count him as a man rather than boy. Ben seemed kind of whipped or enthralled. I thought they were all very different. Their similarity was in their fascination with the Owens women. I liked Gary and Gideon, not really the rest. Gary seemed like the strongest, so if no other choice, I'd hang out with him.
I'd give the book a 4... only because I didn't really think the heavy sexual descriptiveness was necessary to the storyline and added abrasiveness to a story that didn't need that to make it fun and interesting. Not a prude... just outgrew those kind of books long long ago. Still a Fabulous read though.
Absolutely I'd join in another read along with you Caroline. This was great fun! I enjoyed this book, and the kind of books you like to read and have mentioned on your blog. Just finished a Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse book... most recent in a long long series of her vamp stories.
1. Lasagna was on the menu but they ate Chinese take-out.
ReplyDelete2.$2,ooo
3.Frances and Bridget(aka Jet)
4.Irene moved to Fl and has a coffee shop
5. Gillian
*A woman follows Gillian for "several" days before asking her to cut her hair. That's sketchy. Hard to say if Sally believes her but since it's already done she may not want to you.
*Men, what men??? Kidding but women really rule in this book. Guess I'd choose Gary the cryer.
*3 out of 4 stars. A fun story,entertaining and an easy read.
* Oh yeah, I'd sign up for another blog read-a-long. You did a fantastic job putting this one all together. I'll read anything as long as it's not too heavy or philosophical.
*Thank you Caroline for a really fun time! Your awesome!
I'm sorry I've missed this read along...aren't you a smart tart? I'll have to copy this idea sometime. Could you please spread the word (when it's time?) I'll be having a giveaway soon on my blog. I want to gain followers!

Not sure if Sally believes her or not, but the money would be pretty convincing.
Now that it is all said and done I would like to ask your opinion of the men in this book. Do you like them? Do you think they are all similar in some way? If you had no choice and you had to be with one of them which one would you choose?
Couldn't stand Jimmy. Gary & Gideon were ok. Don't really thing they were very similar. Not sure which I would choose to be with.
