The Sunday Salon: Starting My 2025 Reading a Little Early

 

Welcome! I am delighted that 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 also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

We had a lovely Christmas get-together with family this week.

Now we are off having a late Christmas with family this weekend.

What I Read Last Week:

I finished my Christmas picture books.

I'm stopping at 315 books.

 

What I'm Reading Now:

I like to do this thing 

where I stop reading for the year mid-month in December,

and start reading for next year.

I save the last page of each book for January 1.

It starts my year off big.
