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.
Cold rainy days slowed me down this week. A quiet week.
I'm reading eight books, including three really long books (one is 625 pages, one is 417 pages, and one is over 900 pages), so I decided to set those aside for three library books that came in.
All three were lovely, strong 3.5 star (rounded up to 4) reads. One is a collection of humorist James Thurber's pieces; one is contemporary fiction that had brilliant places but also places that could have used a good editor; and one is a book of essays about animals that are both amazing and endangered.
What I Read Last Week:
The Thurber Carnival by James Thurber (Classics Club)
Definitely Better Now by Ava Robinson (Fiction)
Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures by Katherine Rundell (Nonfiction)
What I'm Reading Now:
The Book of Love by Kelly Link (Fiction)
In Search of the Perfect Loaf: A Home Baker's Odyssey by Samuel Fromartz (Baking)
Out of the Silent Planet by C. S. Lewis (SciFi)
The End of the Affair by Graham Greene (Classics Club)
Roots by Alex Haley (Chapter-a-Day)
A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold (Naturalist Book Club)
Devotions by Mary Oliver (Poetry)
