The Sunday Salon-


Seriously? Another week has flown by already? I need to get crackin' on those last few books I have for the rest of my challenges. Before we know it, the time to sort through the vast amount of new challenges being offered for 2010 will be upon us!
But, enough introspection and on to the various little bookish snippets I feel the need to share.



Reading news:
I finished Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones last week and enjoyed it. You can read my review in my previous post. Suffice it to say that I highly recommend this little gem.

I am now reading Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie. It won the Pulitzer in 1985, and even though I am less than 100 pages into it, I can tell that I will probably really enjoy this one.

Challenge News:
I finished another challenge. I think that makes two challenges completed in the last two weeks. This week it was the Dewey's Books Challenge.


You can click on the link above to be taken to my challenge page or you can click on the Dewey's Books label at the bottom of my page to be taken to all the reviews I wrote for the books I completed for this challenge. I wish I could access her blog and read her reviews again, now that I have read the books for myself--but alas, I haven't been able to get to her blog for quite some time now. It was an honor to participate in this challenge and to honor the memory of our bookish friend.

Other News:
In case you haven't heard... the next Dewey's 24 hour Read-a- Thon has been scheduled. The date is October 24th-25th. So, clear those calendars ASAP!
Can you tell I am excited???

Okay folks. I am off to bed, to what else? Read!

  1. Just put Dewey's URL on google reader. You will be able to access it. I can.

  2. I have had a hold on Mr. Pip at my local library for about a month now! I am very anxious for my turn to read this "little gem" :)

    Have a great week - even though I know it will be a busy one.

  3. Mr. Pip has been on my wish list for a while now...should probably just put a library hold on it. Have a great week!

  4. I love the title of Foreign Affairs-I'd never heard of it before! Now I want to read it. :) I wish Dewey's blog was still up too.

  6. I'm so glad you enjoyed Mister Pip. My book club described that one as gruesome, yet charming. I think it fits
