Today will just be a grab bag of a Sunday Salon post. I’m still trying to catch up on everything. Expect more BEA/NYC recaps in the very near future. And keep your eyes peeled for some actual reviews (I know – crazy, right?). I should also probably do a May recap before too much of June elapses. In the meantime, scroll down for some various information. Happy Sunday!
That’s How I Blog
Next Tuesday, June 15, I will be on That’s How I Blog with its wonderful host, Nicole from Linus’s Blanket. I hope you will all listen in (the chat room is always fun if you listen live but you can also download it as a podcast later). I think it’s at 9pm EST but I could be wrong on the time. I’ll remind you again as it gets closer.
The reason I am reminding you today is so you still have time to read the 20-minute book club selection and join us in the discussion. My pick is Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel. I am actually still in the middle of it but I am assured it will make for a great conversation as it produces strong reactions.
Things going on in the book blogging world that may interest you
- Jen at Devourer of Books is hosting Audio Book Week the week of June 21. I will definitely be participating and I urge you all to check it out, too. At least click on the link to see the really cute button.
- Marg at The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader is putting together a directory of Australian bloggers. If you are Australian and have a book blog, go sign up!
- Bloggiesta is next weekend, hosted by Natasha of Maw Books. I’m really want to participate but I haven’t signed up yet since it’s my last weekend with Ben for awhile before he goes off to grad school for the summer.

Ahh you re-read Babysitter’s Club!! Are you going to review it? If so I guess you can wait on this question, but did you love it as much as when you were a kid?

It’s actually a new prequel. And yes. I loved it.

What a great line up – I want to read each of the four books you have listed! The new BSC is good?

It’s all pretty sticky to me! Looks like you have a great reading week ahead. I really need to start reading The Passage since everyone and their mother is raving about it. It’s just so daunting….
