Sunday Salon

I hope you’re all having a terrific weekend! This will be a brief Sunday Salon since I was sick most of the week so it was a rather unproductive week. I’m feeling better, finally, and slowly getting back into the swing of things!

I participated in a discussion of The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Jane Rogers for Book Club at Nicole’s blog, Linus’ Blanket early in the week. It was a very interesting discussion because there are a lot of themes and issues in the book. I didn’t get a chance to review the book last week but I will do so this week.

I was shocked to wake up the other morning, freezing cold, it was 39 degrees! What’s up with that?! I don’t think it’s so good for the flowers. I wanted to plant some but I’m not sure what to do now. I think I’ll be taking a trip to the garden center this week for some advice (and flowers/plants!). I don’t know what I’m doing anyway when it comes to gardening. I used to help my mom with planting, trimming, pruning and everything else when I was a kid but I don’t remember the specifics. Getting some help and advice is a really good idea, especially because I want some very pretty, as well as living, flowers!

I’m behind in reading right now. I picked up Blue Asylum by Kathy Hepinstall the other day and will review it Tuesday for TLC Book Tours. I’ll hopefully finish Pocket Kings and Behind the Beautiful Forevers this week, too.
                                                                                              

Somebody seems to want my attention right now! I’m being meowed at and head-butted by the little Lola.  She's the youngets and most spoiled! Sometimes these cats are a little bit like small children...They don’t like when my attention is completely taken up by something else when it isn’t them!


What are you reading today? I hope it’s somethinggood!                  
Enjoy your day and have a great week!

  3. The kids and I all have been sick over the last week or so, so I understand. I'm glad you are feeling better! We had a "cold snap" (high of 73) for a couple of days and it was wonderful. I think that front swept up and gave you that cold weather. And I am behind on everything...reading, reviewing, and visiting. My life is out of control.

  4. Hope next week finds you feeling better Amy. (I'm looking forward to your review of Blue Asylum as I LOVED this author's previous books.

  5. Sorry to hear you've been sick this week, Amy. It's even tougher with the cold weather... seems like another return to winter. I want to read Behind the Beautiful Forevers, too.

  8. I know I'm really late here but I wanted to say how cute Lola is and pets are quite often like little children. My Sammy is extremely demanding of my time.

    I hope you're feeling better. I know how these things can linger for us. As for the weather I hope yours got better. Ours is horrible again today. It's so windy its not even fun to take the dog for a walk.

  9. Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm a bit behind on my Google Reader so late in commenting but hope to be caught up soon. I'm determined to not mark "all as read" this time!
