Good afternoon everyone! This is going to have to be a quick Sunday Salon as I’m exceptionally busy today.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy from Bermudaonion’s Weblog and her husband Carl. We had a great time wandering London for a few hours – I only wish I could have stayed longer! Carl took all of the pictures, so I’ll have to wait until she’s home to show them to you.
Kathy was kind enough to bring me no less than five books from home:
- The Linen Queen by Patricia Falvey
- The Maid by Kimberly Cutter
- This Burns My Hearts by Samuel Park
- A Fierce Radiance by Lauren Belfer
- The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
I can hardly wait to dig into them! I’m so backlogged that it may be a while, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy all of them. She also brought me a lovely Harper Perennial tote bag. You know how it works with tote bags – you can never have too many.
Next weekend I am off to London once again to meet Jodie of Book Gazing, Ana of things mean a lot, and Ana of The Book Smugglers. It promises to be another awesome Saturday!
In the meantime, I am trying to read and review, but mostly failing at home (though I got some good reading time in on the train yesterday with The Story of Beautiful Girl). I have a couple of books I have to review this week, but that might be it from me. In the meantime, I hope you are all reading fabulous books and enjoying the start of summer!
What fun to meet Kathy and then to get to meet Jodie, Ana, and Ana! I wish everyone were closer together, but somehow we manage to get together in small clumps from time to time!

I am so glad you got the chance to meet Kathy! She is the nicest person, and a whole lot of fun. I also like the books that she brought for you and have a few of them on my shelf. I am a little concerned about The Art of Fielding though, as it’s mostly about baseball! I hope the rest of your weekend is just as great!

How exciting to be meeting bloggers in real life!
I will be interested to see what you think of the Falvey book. I really liked The Yellow House when I read it a while ago.

Yay, yay, yay! That is all.
Jodie´s last post …‘The World More Full of Weeping’ – Robert J Wiersema (Close Title Reading)
Oh what fun to meet up with book bloggers from across the pond! Perhaps some year soon I can return to England and meet up with you as well.
In the meantime – I will wave outside the plane window as we pass through the skies on the 23rd. I wish you safe travels back to the US and relaxing times with your family.
