The Sunday Salon: At the 55% Mark for My Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very-Bad Novel

 

Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and 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. 

What I Read Last Week:

The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy (Novella)

The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (Novella)

The Best Book I Read Last Week:

Both of these novellas were amazing reads. Reading The Sense of an Ending right after I finished The Death of Ivan Ilych was a perfect pairing of books with similar themes. Both books deal with death and the meaning one takes from life and the consequences of living a narrow self-involved existence. 

What I'm Reading Now:

Shimmering Images: A Handy Little Guide to Writing Memoir by Lisa Dale Norton (Nonfiction)

The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year by Margaret Renkl (Nonfiction)

Banned Books: The World's Most Controversial Books, Past and Present (Nonfiction)

What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:

The Sunday Salon: A Week in Which I Wead Wed Wabbit

Nonfiction November: Week 2 (11/6-11/10) Choosing Nonfiction

Novellas in November: What is a Novella?

I'm at 27,559 words on my novel.
