Did I Really Read 41 Books in January?

Who can explain why I've been on a reading roll since the beginning of 2017? It certainly helped that I finished ten books on January 1st, and it was a bonus that I knocked off fourteen children's books on Multicultural Children's Book Day last week. But the forty-one book total for January isn't just books for the wee folk; I also read and reviewed lots of other books, including the 700-page Barkskins. Here are some of my favorites for January, including links to their reviews on Goodreads. Barkskins       The Annotated Alice       The Battle for Room 314 For the Right to Learn       Sofia Martinez Rereads:  Everything I Never Told You       A Monster Calls When in French       News of the World       The Impossible Fortress        Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk       I'll Give You the Sun  Atlas Obscura       Letters of Note, Volume 2       The Almost Nearly Perfect People

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.
