Sunday Salon

The Sunday Salon.com
Good morning everyone!  I hope everyone has had a good week.  Mine has been really busy!  I’ve spent most of the week working on BBAW (Book Blogger Appreciation Week.)  I’ll post more about this later, but let me just say that if you’re wondering why you haven’t seen me comment on your blog lately, it’s because my life has become a little consumed by this.  Hopefully after the middle of next week, things will calm down a little.  I certainly hope so, because I start classes and my new internship in a week!
 
I have a lot of different stuff to post about (continuing my Oxford posts, BBAW stuff, the new reading challenge I’m thinking up, book club summary), so I hope I find time over the next week to write about all of it!

I’m currently giving away The White Queen by Philippa Gregory.  Contest ends on September 1. [review][entry page]

This week, I undertook a huge blog redesign, so if you’re reading this in a feed reader, head on over to see what you think!  For those of you who have seen it and commented on my blog or via Twitter, thanks so much!  I knew I liked it, but I’m glad to see that it appeals to others as well. 

I also wrote the second half of my post on the colleges around Oxford that I visited.  I participated in Wordless Wednesdays and my Thursday Tunes for the week was the band She & Him.

Love the new look! =D

My blog is in serious need of a makeover, but I never seem to get to it!

I love the redesign - it looks great!!

You had a fantastic reading and reviewing week. I am so impressed with your ability to get so much done - you are quite an inspiration.

Happy reading this week!

You have been busy! I'm thinking my blog reading will take a hit the next couple of weeks while I work on BBAW - my work is just beginning.

Wow, you've been a busy girl this week. Love the new look!

Serena said...

In spite of all that BBAW, you've been a busy reader and reviewer. Have a great week.

Pam said...

Man, you've been busy. I don't think I get that much read when I have nothing going on. I love the new layout, too!

I love She&him. Zooey Deschanel has such an amazing voice

Melody said...

You've been busy, Swapna! I'm in awe that you still manage to read and review despite your busy schedule!

I know I've said this before but I'm going to say it again: I like the new layout! :)

I love the new look. I noticed it yesterday when I stopped by. It's so streamlined and easy on the eye. I love, love, love it!

BTW...thank you for all your hard work this week. I was thrilled to pieces when I received notice on my nomination and it happened to come from you!

Veens said...

wow! some really great books!

Do you think they deliberately picked someone who looked like Audrey Hepburn for the cover of Italian for Beginners? :) I'm looking forward to a review of that, by the way!
