It’s Monday What Are You Reading? 10/25

It’s Monday What Are you Reading is the perfect way for me to begin my week and allows me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.

Visit next Monday to see if I managed to accomplish my reading goals.

The Sunday Salon (TSS: 10/24)

Life: All is going well! The house is decorated for Autumn, the air is cooling off and soon we shall need to rake the yard.

Family Update: There is not a lot to report, we are all well. Our oldest sings in an a capella group which has been accepted into the National Competition this winter, he is looking forward to it and awaiting word back from various colleges and universities. The twins are doing well in their respective groups and interests and one will be travelling to the state theatre competition. Life has been going nicely and I cannot complain.

Saturday Night: The five of us spent a calm evening at home watching rented movies and enjoying being silly.

Read and Reviewed: It was a fairly good reading week for me some books were not what I hoped and others proved far better than I expected. I managed to read and review 10 books which totaled 2,703 pages.

If you do not want to wait until Monday to see the entire list for the week, all my reviews are up and as usual I love comments.

Today I will be reading: Panopticon by David Bajo.

Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.
