It's the last weekend to apply for the Cybils...the deadline to apply is this Monday! If you enjoy reading and reviewing children's or young adult books, you might take a look at this post about one judge's experiences here, read about who we are looking for here, and perhaps you will apply to be a judge this year here.

Good Thing #1

Gasoline prices are finally coming down here.

Who would have ever thought I'd be happy to see gas for $2.89 a gallon?!

Good Thing #2

I have been thinking about it all summer,

and I finally bought an Apple Watch this week.

Good Thing #3

We are off to Chicago 

next Friday

to visit our son and his wife!

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?
