The Sunday Salon: Random Tidbits


This morning, I finished reading Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson, a cute, fun YA novel. This book is now over a week overdue at the library. Sorry to whoever has it on hold after me! (Thus the reason I couldn't just renew it!) So, to the library I must go sometime tomorrow!


The rest of the day won't hold much reading time for me. Soon, we'll be off to church. Then, right after coming home we'll be heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner. Maybe I'll get a bit of reading time in as I drift off to sleep later.


But this week has been a fun reading week! I finally finished Brisingr and loved it. Then, in just a couple of days time, I read The 19th Wife, which is quite an accomplishment as it is over 500 pages long. But you'll have to come back tomorrow to hear all about that since I'm a blogtour stop for this book and author. In fact.... PLEASE come back tomorrow! And leave a comment! (How's that for a blatant beg?)


On the schedule for this week is Lavinia by Ursula K. LeGuin, which is for one of my F2F book groups this week. But first... I need to get my hands on a copy. I think I have that worked out though.


Oh, speaking of book club! This past week, we met at my house to discuss The Blue Castle. I had 14 people show up! Very cool. That was the biggest turnout we've had so far since I started the group 4 1/2 years ago. It was tons of fun.


Well enough rambling for one post. Happy Sunday everyone!

  1. I hope you have a nice dinner at your grandparents' home. I am hoping to settle in with a book soon. I do need to start on the laundry first though. I am looking forward to reading your review of The 19th Wife. I'll be posting my review on Tuesday. I'll visit you, if you visit me. :-) Heck, I'd visit you anyway!

    Fourteen for a book club is a very good turn out! I am glad it went well. Have a great week! I'll be back tomorrow!

  2. 'Lavinia' hasn't yet been released in the UK so I'm gnashing my teeth with envy. I'm gad you enjoyed 'Brisingr' I wasn't so impressed so perhaps I should go back and give it another go.
