Sunday Salon

The Sunday Salon.com

Good morning everyone! This Sunday finds me relaxing before a very busy week. I am leaving for the Space Coast in Florida on Wednesday, and I have a lot of packing to do before then! I am so excited to have the opportunity to see the shuttle launch this Friday and I am determined to make the most of the experience.  I’ll be posting a lot more about it later in the week, so keep an eye out for those posts (or ignore them, if you’re completely uninterested!)

I was sick earlier this week, so I began to reread the Harry Potter series. They are my comfort reads when I’m sick, for when I’m in the mood to read but my brain is too fuzzy to absorb anything new. I made it through the fourth book before I started picking up other reads.  I’ve been wanting to reread the series, so I’ll be continuing with books 5-7, but at a slower pace.

This week, I posted on the NASA Tweetup and discussed the space-themed review week I’m planning on having in late June to coincide with the last space shuttle launch.

What a beautiful blog, Swapna! I so envy you attending a launch! I was with NASA nearly 20 years and never made it to the cape. Have a great trip - and keep up the great reviews!

Hope you feel better! Have a great time at the launch. And regarding the HP books, I do the same thing when I don't feel well. I re-read HP or the Twilight series - my comfort reads.
