What Arrived Last Week
|
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.
Six Kids and a Stuffed Cat- that's a great title!
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a play...so unexpected.
DeleteI adore the book covers of Journey and Quest!
ReplyDeleteYes, Journey deserved the Caldecott Honor.
DeleteNice mix of books. I like the sound of Side Effects May Vary and I heard good things somewhere about The Happiness of Pursuit. Glad your read were all good this week. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good week when you read a lot of good books.
DeleteYou sure do like books about happiness, lady. What's up with that? ;)
ReplyDeleteWho can explain our obsessions?

My It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
I enjoy sharing Journey with my students but haven't had a chance to look at Quest yet. You said the Gary Paulsen book was a play? Sounds interesting. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hope to take a close look at Quest very soon.
DeleteI love your variety. I usually really enjoy mental health books, will check that one out.
ReplyDeleteSuch a haul and so many books read. How do you do it? (Jealous!)
ReplyDeleteI would love to get to Imagine Me Gone and have been hovering over The Summer Before the War at the library. I wish I could read so many books in a week! You're my new bibliophile hero. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe cover for "The Street of Eternal Happiness" is just perfect! I'm going to have to check that one out!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Side Effects May Vary.
