It’s Monday What Are You Reading?

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.

The Sunday Salon (TSS: 1/9/11)

Life: Besides a pesky sinus infection life has been going quite well. 2011 has begun with some fairly wonderful books and I am fully anticipating the brilliant book trend to continue.

Family Update: DH and the boys are back to work and school, life has resumed to pre-holiday fivolity and I am finding more time to read again, which I am grateful for, but less family togetherness, which I do miss.

Saturday Night: Movie, junk food, and game night with my guys! We had a Miss Marple marathon and played LIEbrary, Literati, and Origins. These are truly fun games which allow for a lot of creativity, writing and hilarity. I highly recommend them all.

Read and Reviewed: I read and reviewed 9 books and spotlighted 1 book. Do take a look at my reviews, I read some truly fantastic books this past week.

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: Faithful readers of my blog, I am sadly not kidding when once again I am planning to attempt to read The Green Age of Asher Witherow by M. Allen Cunningham (yes the same book I tried to read every Sunday in December 2010). The worst thing is I having been itching to read this book but have yet to find the time.

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