Sunday Salon — December 1
Good morning!
Time: // 8:47 am
The scene: // Bright and a bit warmer for our Thanksgiving weekend. We had the perfect day to wander about town on Small Business Saturday.
Listening to: // Classical Christmas Choral on Accuradio.
A novel about history and botany was bound to appeal to me.
Reading: // I’m about to finish Provence, 1970 by Luke Barr, which I loved. I’ve started The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert and I’m really enjoying that, too.
Blogging about: //
- We had a terrific time chatting about books all day, transforming #BlackFriday to #BookFriday.
- I shared a memory of roasting my first roast turkey — a week after my mother’s episode of congestive heart failure.
Participating in: // Nonfiction November, hosted by Kim of Sophisticated Dorkiness and Lu of Regular Rumination, was so fun! The theme for Week 4 was “Name one book you learned about through other posts” during Nonfiction November. I had lots, but wrote about The Secret Lives of Codebreakers by Sinclair McKay.
I also posted one last nonfiction book review: A Paris Notebook by C.W. Gusewelle.
Looking forward to: // Hosting my first Twitter interview on Wednesday evening at #WSchat, hosted by Wordsmith Studio. Join us at 9PM Eastern / 8 Central / 7 Mountain / 6 Pacific / 5 Alaskan / 4 Hawaiian. The rest of the world is welcome, too. I just learned a lot about US Time Zones for our #BookFriday on #BlackFriday Twitter chats.
I’ll be interviewing Jane Ann McLachlan who writes prodigiously in a variety of genres. If you ever wondered how authors juggle many projects, this will be the perfect opportunity to find out.
What are you up to this fine Sunday?
