Sunday Salon

The Sunday Salon.com

Well, this week was certainly a productive one in terms of reading.  I read a lot of great books and am really happy with the variety of genres I’ve been able to tackle!  Today is going to be a bookish day for me.  Rebecca from The Book Lady’s Blog is coming up to visit today, and we’re going to Busboys & Poets for lunch (a bookstore/restaurant) and then going to see Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress, at the bookstore Politics & Prose!  I won’t be around to Sunday Salon next weekend, but I’m hoping I can get a post up about the event before then.

I updated my South Asian Review Database this morning.  I added on new review links, plus included a section for books about South Asia or by South Asian authors that aren’t eligible for the South Asian Author Challenge, just in case people are curious.

I also joined the Reagan Arthur Books Challenge this week, something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time but just haven’t gotten around to until now.

The Dead Travel Fast  – Deanna Raybourn


Flawless – Scott Andrew Selby & Greg Campbell


Magnolia Wednesdays – Wendy Wax


After – Kristin Harmel
