Sunday Salon

The Sunday Salon.com

I haven’t been checking in with my Sunday Salon posts as diligently as I used to, and there are a few reasons for that.  First, things have been pretty hectic - traveling, guests, and a lot of work - so all I’ve really had time for is keeping up with reviews.  Second, my husband and I have started going hiking on Sunday mornings, which is great, but it’s not exactly my usual lazy Sunday spent on the couch, catching up on blogging.  I’m going to make it a point to be better about doing my Salon posts, though, because I do enjoy writing them!

Sadly, I didn’t get much reading finished at all last week - it may have been my worst reading week since I started blogging.  But happily, I purchased a Kobo Touch ereader, and I am really loving it.  I wrote a comprehensive review of it, in case you are considering purchasing one!

I’m hoping to have a better reading week next week! I’m currently reading a few books, but one that stands out is State of Wonder by Ann Patchett, and while it is slow, I am really enjoying it.  It’s definitely a book to savor.

Looks like a great group of books. Nice to hear you are hiking, that can be so nice to get away from the computer

Our family LOVES to hike, but Florida in the summer is awful with the heat and bugs. Once it gets cool though, we are all over that. It is a great time to leave the electronics behind and just talk. Some of our best vacations have been hiking vacations. It seems like all of us are struggling with our time management. If I have one more thing on my plate, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

Hiking sounds wonderful, but as Sandy said, the heat sort of prevents me from doing it during the summer. I would love to hike a forest trail one of these days. I also hear you about getting enough time in for reading and blogging. I feel like I am slowly sinking under all the obligations right now. I need to get it together and make some schedules or something!
