The Sunday Salon for January 17th

Happy Sunday everyone!  I've managed to pawn the Pirate off on a friend (tho in my defense, I did invite her son here, it just turned out this way!) and Mike is gone for the day so it's just me and the Buggy for a while. We're watching a little Yo Gabba Gabba and I'm planning to do a little reading soon.

I've been trying to catch the blog up for 2009, and I think I only have one more review left to write (and two more for 2010!) I've scheduled them out of the next couple of weeks, but I'm happy to almost caught up.  One thing I forgot to do at the end of December was to list the books I added in December to my Books to Read list, so here it is, a few weeks late. Have you read any of these?

See You in a Hundred Years: Discover One Young Family's Search for a Simpler Life . . . Four Seasons of Living in the Year 1900 by Logan Ward- Jill at Fizzy Thoughts
How It Ends by Laura Wiess- Leila at bookshelves of doom
Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant by Daniel Tammet- Amanda at The Zen Leaf
The Actor and the Housewife: A Novel by Shannon Hale- Janssen at Everyday Reading
Two Parties, One Tux, and a Very Short Film about The Grapes of Wrath by Steven Goldman- Jennie at Bibliofile
Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States (P.S.) by Pete Jordan- Stephanie at Open Mind, Insert Book
The Sweethearts' Knitting Club (Avon Romance) by Lori Wilde
When It Happens by Susane Colasanti- Stephanie at Open Mind, Insert Book
Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud- Rebecca Reads

I've finished up 3 books so far in 2010 and am well on my way to a fourth. I'm having a hard time settling in with any one book, so have been drawn into re-reading a bit, but it's still enjoyable.

  1. The only one I've read is the one that's on the list because of me.

    Happy reading! I'm sitting here waiting for rain, booing the Cowboys and toying with Wolf Hall.

  2. I don't have any of those books. I am reading Perfection and it is okay. I am hoping that it will pick up some. I haven't bought anything new in a while. I have so many books that I have mooched the last year and since I haven't read any, I have them piled up. Enjoy your day of reading.

  3. Well, I'm out of it - I don't even know what Yo Gabba Gabba is. I've read See You in a Hundred Years and I really liked it! I think you will too.

  4. It's such a good feeling, isn't it, to be nearly all caught up?

    I haven't read any of the books on your reading list, but several sound really good.

    I hope you have a great week, Lisa.

  5. Yo Gabba Gabba. Enough said. Except that my daughter loves it and watching it makes me a bit crazy :) Sounds like you found some good books. And lucky you that you may actually catch up from 2009...I on the other hand, may never catch up. LOL! Have a great Sunday!

  6. I cannot imagine the desire to wash dishes in all 50 states. Can't wait to hear about Dishwasher!
