Go-Go, Reviews, & Comments #SundaySalon

Time: // 8:40 am.

The scene: // Warm and sunny. We’ve had a remarkably mild summer in St. Louis so no one, for a change, is complaining about the weather.

Listening to: // “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” — I added it to my Good Morning playlist on Spotify a few weeks ago when someone mentioned it on Facebook. I remember when that song played on the radio!

Reading: // Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Blogging about: // Books! Last week’s Review-a-Thon burst all over my blog this week with four book reviews and one fun excerpt:

The Diet Fix by Yoni Freedhoff
The Illustrated Longitude by Dava Sobel
Shield of Winter by Nalini Singh
Some of My Best Friends are Black by Tanner Colby
Benjamin Franklin in Paris (from Walter Isaacson’s biography)

Ha! Seeing them listed like that, I’m suddenly aware of how much variety is there. And, how much this lists reflects what I typically read. An odd juxtaposition of variation and same-old.

Participating in// My own personal Comment-a-Thon because I’m behind on commenting on other people’s blogs.

What are you up to this fine Sunday?

Here’s a recommendation for your trip to England: The Dolphin Crossing. It has a WWI theme.

I love the idea of a comment-a-thon. I need to do something similar. Have a good week, Joy!

I should be writing my Sunday Salon and an email to family and friends I left in Chattanooga when I moved here, but instead I’m going with my friend Donna (who was my roommate in Chattanooga) to eat at Guido’s Pizzeria and Tapas about 4:30 or 5:00. Want to meet us there? I think you have my phone number. Donna is the friend who used to work at the St. Louis County Library.

I love the variety in reads Makes life more interesting, right? I’m cooking this Sunday. It’s been a while since I cooked anything–just wasn’t happening with a sick herd–but today got back in the kitchen and it felt SO good. Made chili, corn bread and chocolate cream pie. Yummy and a nice bit of relaxing
