So Very Glad (!) to See 2021

 

And 2020 is officially over. 

I love to start the new year with a bang. Here's my strategy: I start a stack of books during the last weeks of the old year, and then I finish them and review them on the first day of the new year. I finished fifteen books on January 1st. Starting with a bang. 

I've never done this before, and I don't know how it will turn out, but I decided to sign up for several reading challenges this year: Back to the Classics Challenge. Nonfiction Reader Challenge. Japanese Literature Challenge. Books in Translation Reading Challenge. Diversity Reading Challenge. Comment 4 Comment Challenge. For more information about these, take a look here.

Are you doing any of these challenges this year? Are you doing any other challenges?

My dad celebrates his 94th birthday on January 3rd. We, of course, won't be gathering for his birthday this year, but it's fun to remember his 90th birthday when he had to blow out all 90 of the candles on his cake.

Shall we try for a Happier January 2021? Print out your own Action Calender here.

Good Thing #1: 2020 is over.

Good Thing #2: It's a brand new year.

Good Thing #3: I am thankful 2020 is over and it's a brand new year.

I'm happy you found your way to the Sunday Salon. Sunday Salon is a place for us to link up, to share what we have been doing during the week, to visit other blogs, and to join in the conversations going on. I encourage everyone to link up and then visit other blogs each week.

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?
