Sunday Salon

Good morning everyone! Today, I am continuing a weekend of relaxation.  For the past month and a half, things have been slightly insane.  I’ve been in constant catch-up mode, continuously falling behind because of the holidays, travel, and other craziness.  I’m really glad to have a quiet few weeks up ahead, as I need some time to read and de-stress.  Reading is how I decompress, so when I don’t have time to do it, I have trouble relaxing!

For those of you who have been overwhelmed by the number of posts on my blog for the last two weeks, I have to apologize.  If you haven’t been overwhelmed, I’m impressed because I certainly have been!  There’s been a lot going on, and while I love it, this will be the last week of the Thrity Umrigar discussion, so please hang in there if you’re displeased.

I have a new writing gig at the SheKnows Book Lounge, where I have a few weekly and monthly columns, so I will be linking to those every Sunday.  For the SheKnows Red Hot Book of the Week, I wrote about MWF Seeking BFF by Rachel Bertsche.  For some must-reads, I picked Ten Beach Road by Wendy Wax, Across the Universe by Beth Revis, and Miracle Beach by Erin Celello.  I will also be participating in the SheKnows Book Club - this month’s read is Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.

As you’ve probably see, it was pretty busy here on the blog this week.  We discussed Religion and Repression and Control from The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar.  I also had a new New Zealand picture up for Wordless Wednesday.  Last week, I posted my Top Books of 2011 (Non-Fiction) list. I do intend to do the fiction list eventually, I just haven’t gotten there quite yet!

Unsaid - Neil Abramson


The Thorn and the Blossom - Theodora Goss


The Poison Tree - Erin Kelly


A Clash of Kings - George R.R. Martin

Well, I did have a thought this week that you were a busy bee. Lots of reviews! I wish I had that energy. I'm tired of writing reviews.

I had so wished to have the time to contribute to the Thrity Umrigar discussions, but it has been crazy hectic over here, and I don't see that letting up too soon. I hope that you had a really relaxing weekend over there, and that the upcoming week is also calm!
