TSS: WRAPPING UP A CHALLENGING WEEK — JUNE 3

Welcome to our first Sunday Salon in June!  As some of us are headed to BEA in New York, the rest of us have the opportunity to participate in Armchair BEA.  I’m there!

Meanwhile, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the week, especially from Thursday on, once my oral surgery was behind me!  Egads…I am feeling better every day, enjoying my reading, and yesterday my granddaughter Fiona and I went to the movies and lunch.

We saw What to Expect When You’re Expecting  (again, Dark Shadows time frame didn’t work!); and it was okay….even funny in parts.

Lunch at Dai Bai Dang was a great choice, as not only do they have a variety of stuff, I found SOUP for me!  Yes, still on the soft foods.

Now…on to the blogging and reading.  Here’s what my week looked like:

TUESDAY POTPOURRI:  WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

FANTASIES, SNIPPETS, & DREAMS

THURSDAY POTPOURRI:  A BOOK, A PAINTING, & MOMENTS FROM THE PAST

KREATIV BLOGGER AWARD:  THANKS, LAURA!

MAY READING WRAP-UP:  A SERIES OF ADVENTURES

SWEET SATURDAY SAMPLES: MORE PRANKS & ADVENTURES

Read/Reviewed:

Ocean Beach, by Wendy Wax (Review will be posted on June 15) (Five stars!)

Son of Rosemary, by Ira Levin (three stars)

Ninepins (e-book), by Rosy Thornton (Five stars!)

Still Reading:

American Legacy:  The Story of John and Caroline Kennedy, by C. David Heymann

In addition, today I plan to read some on The Girl Below, by Bianca Zander.  So far, it’s quite interesting.

What does your Sunday look like?  Any exciting plans/adventures?  I hope you’ll stop by and share…..

THE LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD — AUGUST 14

 

 

 

Today I’m pleased to share that Lisa, at Books in the Burbs, has given me the Liebster Blog Award.

Here’s the info on this award:

1.  Rumor has it that someone in Germany, possibly someone named Liebster, created an award for new bloggers to show appreciation and thanks for their blog.

3.  Liebster means “beloved” in German and Spanish.

2.  You can only receive the award from another blogger, who has also received the award. 

3.  Awards are to be passed forward to other bloggers, 3-5 blog sites, with followers of 300 or less.

4.  Once you give the award to a fellow blogger, you are to contact the blogger and let them know.

5.  Copy and paste the award on your blog.

Here are some lovely things Lisa said about me!

I first started reading Laurel’s blog when I joined The Sunday Salon.  While I have never met her, she just has this laid-back personality on her blog.  When I read her posts, I feel that it is she and I sipping coffee as she tells me about her day. She also has the same taste in books that I do!

Thank you, Lisa, for honoring me with this award, and for sharing such lovely thoughts.

 

I would like to award the Liebster to the following blogs:

1.  Gigi Ann, at Ann’s Reading Corner

Gigi Ann is a cozy blogger, whose books are the kind I enjoy and whose posts are fun to read.  She participates in many of the same memes as I do, like the Monday Memes.

2.  Beth, at Bookaholic Mom

Beth is another blogger I meet at regular memes, like Monday Memes, Teaser Tuesdays, etc., and I always enjoy seeing what she’s reading.

3.  Dizzy C’s Little Book Blog

Carol’s blog is fun, cozy, and a great place to hang out and see what she’s reading and posting.  Check her out!  She has a snazzy new blog design.

 

Thanks again to Lisa, and to the other bloggers in our community who make it fun to connect on the web.
