Welcome to another Sunday Salon, where we gather together to talk about our books, our blogging, and our lives.
We had a few cooler days this week, but we’re not really into fall yet. I love the symbols of the season, like these gorgeous pumpkins.

I feel really good about this past week…maybe it was the books I chose, or perhaps I’m getting my mojo back.
Today I’ve been reading Tuesday’s Gone, by Nikki French, and I am having a hard time putting it down.
I’ve been watching some movies, too….catching up on the DVR backlog. What are you up to today and tomorrow?
Watched a lot of television while I was sick and have really gotten caught up in the new show Chicago Fire.I know the hype is all about the new show Nashville but growing up around firefighters this show is perfect for me.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Blogoversary!!!

I’ll have to check that one out, Lori. I tried to watch an episode of Nashville, but just couldn’t get into it. Thanks for stopping by.

I wonder what Ian McEwan has to say about a Sweet Tooth. I’m plagued by said sweet tooth that eats into my diet plans.

I think his idea of a sweet tooth is quite different than ours…lol
Thanks for stopping by, Harvee…and I have been addicted to chocolate chip cookies all weekend!

Oh you beat me to Sweet Tooth. I wanted to read it but my husband stole from me, figures! Still I’m glad to read your comments about it. I still want to read it — perhaps out of curiosity. Seems like you had a good reading week!

Thanks, JoAnn…I was surprised that I finished five books, since it took me awhile to read the first one. Glad you could stop by.
