Are you an Anne or a Mary?

OK ladies, here's the deal:

5:30 Meet at the south end of the Food Court at the Chandler Mall with your food of choice.
6:40 Movie time at Chandler Mall Harkins Theaters.
8:50 Walk over for dessert... somewhere.

Sound good?

Movie Times

I just went online to look up movie times for The Other Boleyn Girl for this Tuesday (March 18th). This is what I found.


Chandler Mall- 6:40 pm
Mesa Grande- 7:30 pm
Az Mills- 7:25 pm
Superstition Springs Mall- 6:45 pm

I figured all the other times were either too early ( like 3 or 4 pm) and the other ones were too late (9 or 10 pm). These are the only theaters remotely close to the majority of us that are playing this movie. We need to decide what works out best and plan around the movie time. I know a few people were wanting to go to dinner first to discuss the book, go see the movie and then go to ice cream to discuss the movie and the differences of the book.

What: The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take fate into her own hands.

When: Tuesday, March 18th
Where: A movie theater... more details to come

The movie, The Other Boleyn Sister, is coming out soon. We thought it would be fun to see the movie together and discuss over ice-cream afterwards.

We had a wonderful time Monday night. The discussion was lively and insightful. The company was exceptional. To those that didn't make it, we missed you (hope you feel better soon Julie!) and we hope to see you next time. To those who did make it, thanks for the great evening. Can't wait till next time!

What? I am so not going to see this movie. Can't, they'll ruin everything.

Eat Pray Love

This is our next book. Yea! We finally decided on one. I'm not sure how it boiled down to this one, but it sounds great to me and I am ready to delve into a new book.

Now, all we need is a place to meet and a date. Any suggestions? If no one else comes up w/ one or wants to host us, I thought it might be fun to go to Paradise Bakery, or something like that. Let me know what you all think.
