Can you hear the tiredness in my voice today? Yes, it's been busy this winter...or maybe I'm just getting old? In any case, I am ready for spring break. My plan is to unplug and walk and read and ride my bike and visit and drink coffee and cook some nice meals and spend some time with people I love. The main thing I plan to read (or, in actuality, reread) is Lonesome Dove. I want to linger over the story and linger over the characters this week.  Because I'm a teacher, I not only checked out the book from the library, but I also checked out the movie and a book of photos from the movie. A total Lonesome Dove week. My reading spot for the week. Stop by and see me this week. I'll be out here. What Arrived Last Week

What are you reading today?!

What is the Sunday Salon? Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them,and they're all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book. Click here to join the Salon.

The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news and recap the past week.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week. 

 It is now being hosted here.

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which you can share the books you've acquired.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between!  This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is now being hosted at The Book Date.
