What I didn’t blog about this week

If I’ve seemed preoccupied with party planning, it’s only because I have been. Running around the Stadt, debating menu choices, trying to negotiate food orders in a language I barely understand, certainly doesn’t make for an interesting week. And so, there really isn’t much that I haven’t blogged about this week except for one thing.

You’re Not The Only One: Intimate Tales From The Internet features 100 essays of bloggers from both sides of the pond. The book resulted from the efforts of five women bloggers--Peaches, Ariel, Desperate Sara, Ms. Robinson, and Vi --who gathered, chose, and edited the writings for publication. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book goes to War Child International, a group of organizations working around the globe to assist children affected by war.

I received my copy this week and have enjoyed reading the, sometimes moving, sometimes humorous, but always personal tales. Peaches and her crew have done a marvelous job. I look forward to the sequel!

In case your interested in ordering a copy or learning more about the charity, I’ve included a link in my sidebar to Lulu, the online publishing company producing the book, as well as a link to War Child International.

And if you order the book, be sure to check out the 20th essay, written by one particular martini-obsessed hausfrau, who was very honored to be part of the effort.
