2009: The Sunday Salon – I’m hooooooome

Hey, look at that.  I’m back, and blogging.  What a novel idea!

I’ll probably post up some vacation pictures for you all at some point.  We had a really good time, but I came home exhausted.  We went to 5 national parks in 5 days, and by day 6 I was ready for some rest and relaxation.  We hit Mesa Verde, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone.  I think Arches was the prettiest, but Yellowstone was the most exciting.

Reading-wise, I am still *way* behind in my reviews.  Here’s what’s coming up!

  • The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson (later today)
  • Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore
  • Cleopatra’s Daughter by Michelle Moran
  • Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae Brown
  • Silence of the Grave by Arnalder Indridason
  • Hunter’s Moon by C.T. Adams & Cathy Clamp
  • The Spire by Richard North Patterson
  • Full Bloom by Janet Evanovich
  • The Fury by Jason Pinter
  • Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore
  • Vixen 03 by Clive Cussler

The good news is that I have most of these reviews written, I just need to get the posts put together.  In addition, I have three or four new challenges I’m joining that I need to post about.

The thing I’m hemming and hawing about most these days is the upcoming Read-a-Thon. I’ve never participated in one before, and I’m seriously considering it this time around. There’s no Hokies game that Saturday, and it looks like we’re probably going to my in-laws the *next* weekend, so I’ve got a good opportunity. Have you done the Read-a-thon before?  What are your thoughts?
