Birthday Celebrations!

 

This week was my birthday. 

I dreamed of getting a book for my birthday. I got fifteen!

My son and his wife sent me Adrift: American in 100 Charts and 50 French Phrases. My husband brought me Bake by Paul Hollywood and Say It Right in French. My sister gave me The Encyclopedia of Cookies: Over 500 Tasty Recipes for Cookie Lovers of All Ages and Gilmore Girls: The Official Cookbook. 

Wow!

My Birthday Book Club gave me Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure; The Book of Books: Recommended Reading; The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka; The Margery Sharp Collection: The Martha Novels; The Book of the Dun Cow; A Passion for Books: A Book Lovers' Treasury; and Wool by Hugh Howey. 

Yes, wow!

To finish my birthday celebration, I'm in Austin this weekend at the Texas Book Festival!

Last week I posted here at Readerbuzz:

Unlikable Characters We Love and Hate

Nonfiction November: Your Year in Nonfiction

Sunday Salon: Birthdays!

Nonfiction November has begun!

I've decided to read only nonfiction this month.

My granddaughter, Annie, had a wonderful 7th birthday.

She had a painting party at the park.

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?
