No traveling this week...for once...
Instead, I spent a lot of time swimming with friends at the pool, painting in preparation for new floors, sharing reptiles with children at the public library, and getting ready for the start of Paris in July. A good week.

Paris in July starts now! I am co-hosting Paris in July this year with the wonderful Tamara from Thyme for Tea.
The aim of the month is to celebrate our French experiences through reading, watching, listening, observing, cooking and eating all things French!
There are no rules or targets in terms of how much you need to do or complete in order to be a part of this experience – just blog about anything French and you can join in! Some ideas might include;
- reading a French-themed book – fiction or nonfiction,
- watching a French movie,
- listening to French music,
- cooking French food,
- experiencing French, art, architecture, and travel
- tasting French wine, or testing French cocktails
- celebrating le quatorze juillet or Bastille Day
Whatever it is that you love about France---share it with us all! And pass the word...

I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. Sunday Salon is a place to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. It's 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?

Looks like a good week. My son (and to be fair me too) is quite wary of animals. He likes the zoo but doesn't like roaming animals including birds 😂 he is 3.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise how many reading challenges there were out there!
Have a great week!
