The Sunday Salon: Eating, Visting and of course, Reading

Sunday Salon Button

Sigh. I love the weekend. I mean, who doesn’t? I started the day off meeting a book club friend for breakfast. Eggs Benedict is the most perfect food in the world. Seriously.

Later on we’re hitting a friend’s house for pizza and swimming. The hot weather from last week has left us though, so we went from 111 degrees to a cool 72 which may not be warm enough to swim.

As for reading, I am reading a lot of books right now. Yes, Mockingjay is one of them. I’ll save my initial thoughts for the review though. Reading several books at once has its advantages but it certainly has its disadvantages too. For one, I always feel as if I am reading the same thing because so little progress is made in any one book. BUT, at the same time it feels as if I am dipping my hand into many pots which sort of satisfies me number wise.

Only true readers understand this. Anyone else,  just thinks I’m nuts.

Oh, and I just remembered that I haven’t done my homework yet for my lit class that meets tomorrow. Guess I know what I’ll be doing in the immediate future.

What are you doing today?

The Sunday Salon: Reading & More Reading

Invisible Book Cover

It’s been a rather lazy weekend for me (thank goodness). I spent all of yesterday reading Strangers at the Feast and boy, was it good. I managed to stay up half the night reading it so I am dragging a bit this morning.

Next up? Invisible by Paul Auster. It’s my book club pick for next month so I’m hoping it’s discussion worthy. I also received Auster’s new book, Sunset Park which looks really, really good.

Of course, there are a slew of books that I must read within the next few weeks and then there are the books that I want to read just for fun. It’s the story of my life.

Later today though, I will take a break from reading and hit a friend’s house for a BBQ and some swimming. What are you doing today?
