Sunday Salon: Midsummer Reading and Book Hauling
Posted on June 17, 2012 in Books
Happy Father’s Day! We had family time yesterday and now my dad wants to take his own day trip. Ha. I do a bit of solo travel too so I guess I take that away from him.
In reading news, I went to a book fair yesterday and got 19 books. I will make a post about all the book fair books I got in the last two weeks for tomorrow or Tuesday.
This week, I finished reading two books: Tess of the Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy and Friday’s Child by Georgette Heyer.
I started The Mill on the FLoss by George Eliot. My first of her works so it’s a long time coming especially with this book, but I’ll tackle that in the review. I will read most of it today which means I will probably finish it by the end of the day.
I could have read more this past week, but it’s been an unusually social and busy week for me. Also, in a weird turn of events, I have taken two jobs in the last week after a long drought without any work. I don’t know how it will affect my reading, but I hope not too much. I like to reserve Sundays for at least one book a week.
Has everyone planned their summer reading? I’ll keep with the classics for this summer I think.
Sounds like a good reading week….Friday’s Child looks intriguing, as does The Mill on the Floss. Enjoy your Sunday!
Here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST
Thanks Laurel-Rain! Happy reading to you too.
No, i don’t not planned my summer reading yet. But i have become interested to plan it from your article. I want to enjoy my summer by reading interesting books.
Thanks for the comment, Trevon. Have a good summer reading.
