Well, these past couple of weeks have been pretty busy, as evidenced by the fact that I haven’t posted a Sunday Salon update in two weeks! Thanksgiving was great, as we went to visit my family. Then my close friend from home came to visit and we got to spend almost a week hanging out and catching up. It was a lot of fun, but of course, I got no reading done for almost two weeks! I wouldn’t have had it any other way, as I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with friends and family, but of course, now my mind is on all the catching up I have to do.
As the end of the year is quickly approaching, I’m reflecting on the books I read in 2010 and thinking about what I want to read in 2011. Once the year is over, I will publish some sort of best of list. It will be very interesting to go back over the books I’ve read this year and see what has stuck with me the most, versus what I gave the highest ratings.
I spent part of the last week signing up for challenges for 2011. This is one of my favorite times of the year as there is so much optimism and excitement for what I want to read next year, as this one is winding down. There are still a few more I have my eye on, but I’m excited about the challenges hosted by others that I’ve picked, as well as the 2011 South Asian Challenge (sign-ups here).

It is always fun contemplating challenges for the new year. I definitely have my eye on a few.
It is so addicting when you start looking at the challenges. With the exception of James' TBR Dare, I have held off. I just want to read whatever suits my fancy. We will see how long I can hold out!
I am also getting overwhelmed with all the challenges, and based on my poor track record in the past, I think I may just have to be an onlooker for most of them. I am glad to hear that you got to spend such good times with your friends and family over the holidays, and am looking forward to doing the same in a few weeks!
It is challenge shopping time. Like my holiday shopping, I'm trying to keep it under control.
It sounds like you had a great time :)
Challenges... for this time of the year is the time when I realize I am no where near finishing any challenges I signed up last year. So I am not going to join anymore than 3 that I have thought of :)
