Welcome to the Sunday Salon. It's slightly foggy and misty in the Midwest and warmer than the 57 degrees in Los Angeles, where I have relatives. The garden loves the sprinkling of rain here and my cherry tree is blossoming. So are the service berry trees that line three blocks on our street with white blossoms!

MY SUNDAY SALON POST
I must read Jane Green. I have one titled DUNE ROAD. Enjoyed reading what you're reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of books you received and won! Enjoy your Sunday, hopefully with some reading and relaxing!
ReplyDeleteQuestion - what are service berries? I think one of the joys of having four seasons is getting to see all of the trees and bushes flower in the spring!
ReplyDeleteLisa: I've added a photo of the serviceberry blossoms. The tree has small red berries that the birds love.
DeleteI didn't know you were in the LA area too! Isn't this weather strange? I just checked out Quiet from the library so I can't wait to read your thoughts on it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI clarified my post, Vasilly. I am in Ohio but have family in LA. I know it's cold and rainy there.
DeleteI am enjoying Quiet as I think I'm an introvert at heart.
We're having a rainy Sunday here in New York. I participated in the blog tour for Shore Excursion and really enjoyed the book. I look forward to reading your review. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love it when the flowers start blooming! I'll be curious to see what you think of the Lucy Robinson book. I started it and thought it had way too much profanity to me, but plot wise it didn't seem too bad.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books on your list but I've heard good things about Jane Green's books. The service berry blossoms are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great books there! And it has been warmer here too - very much Spring-like!
ReplyDeleteThis weather is so wonderful and everything seems to be blooming! My poor sons though have started their allergies a bit early this year! Looks like you have some great books on tap for the week!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteStaci: My allergies have been acting up too! Hope it gets better!
DeleteI am intrigued with Quiet.
ReplyDeleteMelissa: I recommend the book. A new approach to an old "problem" - understanding the quiet and nonassertive personalities.
DeleteEnjoy all your new reads. I haven't read any Jane Green books, but I really want to read her newest book.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books! The Yoga Club has captured my attention!
ReplyDeleteGotta check out the Jane Green book. I've been enjoying the flowering trees on my walks.
ReplyDeleteI really, really want to read Paris My Sweet. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour reading choices lately certainly seem diverse. Hope you are enjoying most of what you read.
ReplyDeleteDiane: I am an omnivore when it comes to books. I even read the occasional vampire story! Variety, as they say, is very much the spice of life.
