Yellow highlights books I am currently read.
I'll be posting 159 Love Books I Have Read on Tuesday. Some of the titles are rather odd. How many books with "love" in the title have you read?
Who of you told me about this show? Thank you, thank you. I am enjoying it so much.
I'd love to hear about your week.
I'm very happy you found your way to the Sunday Salon. There are no real requirements to linking up at Sunday Salon. Sunday Salon is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
Some of the things we often talk about at the Sunday Salon:
What was your week like?
Read any good books? Tell us about them.
What other bookish things did you do?
What else is going on in your life?
Other places where you may like to link up over the weekend are below. Click on the picture to visit the site.
Absolutely. My sister and I found a nice Paris apartment today. It's about 1700 square feet, with three bedrooms, and is selling for six million. Do you still want in, Kathy? Lol.
I responded to your question on my blog post today: "How many books with 'love' in the title have you read?" I'm glad you're having lots of fun in Paris.
How long are you staying in my favorite city?! I look forward to hearing ALL about this fabulous adventure (and the Paris books you recommend for a fellow francophile) :)
Like Molly, I was wondering how long you were staying and it sounds like from your comment on your blog, you're not there with your husband? I thought you were. I guess I need to read posts a little more carefully than I do. I think I might have ? maybe ? introduced you to Comedians In Car Getting Coffee, but I'm not sure. I'll be honest that I've only seen a few episodes but my wife really likes it.
Where have you visited so far in Paris? Maybe once your trip is done, I'd love to hear which sight you would recommend most when one is looking for a quiet lazy day.
Love that you are still getting a good amount of reading done!
So glad Paris is as wonderful as ever. I'd be curious to hear about where you're staying with such a long visit. I love Comedians in Cars, too. I like to watch it while I'm on the elliptical!
I am glad you are enjoying France, Deb. It sounds like such a great place, especially if you want to stay. :-) I hope you are enjoying the sights (and your books!). Have a great week!
We visited Paris often when we lived in France and I always felt like I could live there too. Maybe we could share an apartment? ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. My sister and I found a nice Paris apartment today. It's about 1700 square feet, with three bedrooms, and is selling for six million. Do you still want in, Kathy? Lol.
DeleteHave fun on your vacation.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving my trip to Paris.
DeleteI'm sure Paris is beautiful. I can't wait to hear all about it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletePeople are going to want me to shut up about it, I'm sure. It will be hard for me to stop talking about it when I get back.
DeletePAris sounds wonderful, hope you're having a fantastic time (it sounds like you are haha). I have a feeling I could happily live there as well.
ReplyDeleteThere should be room in that six million dollar apartment. Let me know if you are interested. lol
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying your time in Paris!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy!
DeleteI responded to your question on my blog post today: "How many books with 'love' in the title have you read?" I'm glad you're having lots of fun in Paris.
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog post, Bonnie.
DeleteI think I could live in Paris too, but I'd have to learn some French :)
ReplyDeleteThat might be something we should all work on before we actually go in on a six million dollar apartment.
DeleteI’m so glad you are enjoying your Parisian adventure, perhaps you can bribe hubby to stay with his favourite French pastries :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week in Paris!
I think I shall try.
DeleteHow long are you staying in my favorite city?! I look forward to hearing ALL about this fabulous adventure (and the Paris books you recommend for a fellow francophile) :)
ReplyDeleteI will be here a total of seventeen days. I'll be coming home in a few more days.
DeleteStay all the time you need. I'm totally looking forward to seeing all of the pictures you share on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI am taking a lot of great photos, I think.
DeleteIf you can stay, I say why not?! I'd love to visit Paris someday! Enjoy your Paris reads and have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteStacy Renee @ LazyDayLit
Yes, why not?!
DeleteHappy to hear you are enjoying Paris! Your post on love books sounds great! I have no idea how many I have read.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
It should be popping up on Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteNo, my husband headed to Tucson for a huge rock and mineral show out there. I'm in Paris with my sister.
DeleteIt might have been you, Bryan. Thank your wife for me.
Where have you visited so far in Paris? Maybe once your trip is done, I'd love to hear which sight you would recommend most when one is looking for a quiet lazy day.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are still getting a good amount of reading done!
I will think about that.
DeleteI am so happy you are having a grat time and green with envy too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lori. Don't be green with envy, though; come and join us!
DeleteWow! It sounds like you are having the most fabulous time in Paris, Deb. Glad it's going so very well...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah.
DeleteHave a blast in Paris! I hope to visit there some day:)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can, too.

ReplyDeleteI will. Thanks, Becki.
DeleteParis is on my bucket list, I am glad you are having such a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is at the top, Kimberly. If it isn't, move it there.
DeleteIt'a amazing you have time to visit and read all these books! Good for you
ReplyDeleteI've been reading an hour or so before I go to sleep each night.
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying your trip.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Paris is as wonderful as ever. I'd be curious to hear about where you're staying with such a long visit. I love Comedians in Cars, too. I like to watch it while I'm on the elliptical!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are having a great trip! I wouldn't want to come home either. Lol.
ReplyDeleteOh I could easily live in Paris, or London or Dublin or Barcelona.....
ReplyDeleteI’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying Paris. I hope you have a great week!
