Sunday Salon

My husband has been gone for four days so I attempted a "review" marathon to catch up. I did a few, but ended up messing with my template, and let's just say I am computer illiterate and didn't know you had to save your widgets separately. So, yep, lost 'em all, including my Followers! Makes me look like I have no friends...lol. Back to square one. Here's some advice: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I'm reading The Unnamed right now, by Joshua Ferris. I had seen it on a couple of blogs. At first I didn't know what to think of it - it's kind of bizarre - but then I got comfortable with Ferris' writing, which sucks you in with its descriptive prose, and now I'm really enjoying it!
I also bought A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick, so that's up next.

What about all you other Sunday Salon-ers? Whatchya readin'?

I've read so many books the past week or two that I'm getting behind on my reviews! That's a good thing, though, right? That I've read a lot? Some books I don't think I'll do reviews on, like The Little Red Writing Book. It's a resource book with helpful tips about writing. What else is there to say about that? :)

But here's what's going on in my reading world this week:

Books reviewed:

Cowboy and Wills



Notes Left Behind



Not Lost Forever



Books I've read and need to review:

Love Heels: Individual stories about support dogs through Canine Companions for Indpendence.



The Kids Are All Right: True story about a family of four kids whose father is killed in a car accident and the mother dies of cancer months later.



Angel Animals: Inspirational stories from people where a pet or other animal made a significant difference in their lives.



5th Horseman: About a mystery killer at a hospital who puts buttons on the eyes of people after they are dead.



The Tall Book: Non-fiction book written by a 6'3" woman; everything you ever wanted to know about being tall. (I'm 5'10" and my 16-year-old son is 6'8")





Just Listen: Non-fiction book that tells the secret to getting through to anyone, in business and relationships.



This Lovely Life: Memoir written by a mom who delivered twins at 24 weeks; one of them died after 4 days and the other one was blind and had severe disabilities. Despite her clear wishes that the doctors not go to heroic efforts to rescuscitate the babies at birth, they did so anyway, and she tells of her resentment and experience of raising a severely disabled child.



And today I'm going to start reading:

Saving Cinnamon: About a puppy found on a military base.



AND as of today I have a 16-year-old! Which means he'll get his driver's license. Which means I won't have to drive him everywhere. Which means....

I'll have more time to read! Woot, woot!

How about all you bloggers out there? What's going on in your reading world?
