Hello fellow Sunday Saloners! Well it sure has been a busy weekend in the news. From the U.S. Olympic team racking up the medals to the awful and horrible stabbings in Beijing to a not so perfect politician from North Carolina and a war brewing in Eastern Europe, it’s been a weekend for watching television.
I have managed to find time to do some reading and am about halfway done with Judith Marks-White’s chick-lit romp, Bachelor Degree. I’m going to try to get a bit more read this evening Having just woke from a nice nap just now, I feel refreshed and ready to go.
We’ve got a great book giveaway going on here at Planet Books running through next Sunday. You can check that out HERE. Also, earlier this week I asked the question, “Are you finding a common theme throughout the settings of your books this summer?” I am reading the seventh book this year which is set in New York City. What about you? Have you been a frequent “armchair” flyer to a common destination? Check out my post about it HERE.
Last week I asked what people thought about the way we read and how it’s changing in our world today. Between technologies and the Internet, reading material is everywhere but can reading on-line mean the same as reading a hand-held book? Check out my post and share your opinion HERE.
I am curious what your favorite Summer Olympic event is? I have been following the Michael Phelps story myself. He’s a Maryland boy who is just remarkable and having grown up in MD myself, I’m partial to his success. I also like the gymnastics events. I asked my acupuncture/massage therapist what events he would be watching and he said Women’s Judo and Women’s Marathon. Apparently Japan has great athletes in both events.
