Sunday Salon

Wow, two Sunday Salons with nothing between them! I've been Internet-silent this week, focusing instead on starting my job, getting settled, and catching up with old college friends still in the area. Just last night I went to a reunion party and saw many people I hadn't seen in several years. I am so glad I have so many friends already in this town and I don't have to start from scratch!

I haven't been doing much reading either, but I started Paradiso yesterday for the last leg of Richard's Dante read-along. I'm up to Canto 20 and expect to have it finished by tomorrow. Then I'll resume the Horrible Dare Challenge with Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver. Would you believe this library wherein I work has over three million books but not a single copy of Hush, Hush? Granted, that's probably for the better but it's still a bit frustrating. I have started this challenge and I intend to complete it, regardless of how painful that may turn out to be.

Once Shiver's done I'll pick up I Hotel again. I really need to get that review done for The Front Table.

So, once again, I apologize for my absence but I should be back on track this week. Happy reading!

No weekly link round-up today. That will resume next week.
