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 good opportunity to visit other blogs and join in conversations there.
What I Read Last Week:
Congratulations, By the Way: Some Thoughts on Kindness by George Saunders (Nonfiction)
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto (Fiction; Japanese Literature Challenge; Novella)
What I'm Reading Now:
The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Fiction)
On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Children's)
The Adventures of Cipollino by Gianni Rodari (Picture Book)
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:
I hope you will join the linkup for Sunday Salon below.
An in-person interview with Rushdie sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week… mae
Hibiscus is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have the first hibiscus flower. I must look at Kitchen. I'm interested in Japanese fiction after reading Butter and a few others.
ReplyDeleteAh, that hibiscus is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't actually remember now if I've read The Brothers Karamazov... I think I did try it as a teen, right before I went to uni, but I don't think I actually got far, ahaha. Hope you're enjoying it!
The Rushdie would be interesting. Three cheers on the hibiscus -- it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour hibiscus is lovely! The first bloom is always the most beautiful with the anticipation of watching it mature. Wishing you many more flowers to come.
ReplyDeleteHibiscus in January! You are very lucky! Enjoy your garden and Texas weather.
ReplyDeleteI love hibiscus! Your grandchildren are so cute. I read all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books many years ago. They were all so good!
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas cactus bloomed, a little late, but then I did rescue her from the garbage!
ReplyDeleteHibiscus blooms and kids basketball - all fun!! Have a good week, Deb.
ReplyDeleteI also love Hibiscus. Your grandchildren are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely week! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe Hibiscus is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hibiscus! I hope the grandkids enjoy the basketball. We have the choice between a soccer game or a basketball game tomorrow -- we may skip both to have a cozy Sunday, instead.
ReplyDeleteBecca and I are reading On the Banks of Plum Creek now. Such a good series.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your three things. That's a beautiful hibiscus.
I enjoyed Kitchen too. A few years back I was on a Japanese fiction kick and read a lot of wonderful books. Happy Belated Birthday to your Dad! A wonderful milestone! My Mom turns 91 in March! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove the hibiscus! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteYour hibiscus is so colorful. And such happy smiles on the faces of your grandkids. Happy week.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are so cute. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour 3 good things look great to me. Love seeing the hibiscus when all I see outside is wind and snow. I was totally born in the wrong state. I hope you have a wonderful week!
