The Sunday Salon: Of Human Bondage, the Yamboree, and Richard Powers Comes to Houston
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 plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.

We drove home from Big Sandy last Sunday, and I think I spent the rest of the week trying to recover from eight days spent babysitting our grandkids.
I'm trying to decide which is more exhausting, taking care of 100 chickens or two children.
November is coming soon, and that means a lot of book blogging events. Last year I participated in Nonfiction November and Novellas in November. This year I am hoping to try SciFi Month along with Nonfiction November.
For my own reference, I'm noting below the books I might read and links to the host blogs.
Week 1 (10/28-11/1) Your Year in Nonfiction.Liz, who blogs at Adventures in reading, running and working from home, is an editor, transcriber, reader, reviewer, writer and runner. She likes reading literary fiction and nonfiction, travel and biography.
Week 2 (11/4-11/8) Choosing Nonfiction. Frances blogs about the books she has read at Volatile Rune and is a published poet, reviewer, sometime storyteller and novelist.
Week 3 (11/11-11/15) Book Pairings. Heather of Based on a True Story lives in Ohio with her husband, surrounded by lots and lots of critters!
Week 4 (11/18-11/22) Mind Openers. Rebekah reviews social justice books on She Seeks Nonfiction. She is a Pittsburgh-based activist, graphic designer, and cat parent.
Week 5 (11/25-11/29) New To My TBR. Deb, who blogs at Readerbuzz, is a Texas librarian-for-life who swims, rides her bike, draws, writes, and loves to read nonfiction-that-reads-like-fiction, literary fiction, classics, and children’s picture books.
Whichever channel(s) you decide to join us on, we ask that you use the hashtag #scifimonth2024 wherever possible to help us keep track of your posts.

I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
