SUNDAY SALON

This past couple of weeks has been huge for me on the reading front.  I just became more focused in reading the growing pile of books that have been sent to me.  Now I feel great because I actually made a reasonable sized dent in the pile.. for once!

Currently I am reading The Sign for Drowning by Rachel Stolzman.  It is a beautifully written book, and it has renewed my interest in learning sign language I have had since I was about 10 years old.  I am also reading "The Traitor's Wife" by Susan Higginbotham, but it has had to be put on the back burner until I got some of my more pressing review copies under my belt.  I finished the book "Women are Crazy Men are Stupid" by Howard J. Morris and Jenny Lee, and to my total surprise it was HILARIOUS! 

I have also signed up for this:

Which I am SUPER DUPER excited about!  I cannot wait to see who I am buying for!!!!  Just click on the pic above to enter and find out more about it! 

I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I absolutely love the book blogger community.  LOVE.  I love the people, the camaradarie, the learning about books I would have never heard of, the whole thing.  Love ...it.  And this is just another example of the fabulous people who like to bring us all together!  

This week I'll be still finishing up the few books that are left from publishers and authors, but I am also going to do some reading strictly for me.  I plan on spending a good amount of quality time with "The Traitor's Wife" and am going to enjoy every single second!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

My teaser is from Rachel Stolzman's book "The Sign for Drowning":

I'd heard this story before, but tonight it struck me in a new way.  I contemplated our very different upbringings, and what it must have been like for him to grow up as the center of his mother's universe.
