Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
It's been a relatively good week. Even if I can't travel this summer, I'm grateful for all the little (and big things) that make me happy, and I feel like I'm having a great summer, despite all that is happening! Every day, I'm discovering joy in the simple things in life. And I'm determined to use my time and energy to keep helping others.
Hope you are all well. Stay safe and take care of each other.

Stories and Places I Remember by Joe Giordano
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
What I reviewed and/or featured last week:
If you're looking for a good historical mystery series starring a feminist icon, this series will not disappoint!
A fictional account of a remarkable woman, who fought alongside Garibaldi in his revolutionary wars.
I've always wanted to know more about Garibaldi and this was a good start.
I'm happy to be spotlighting this fun YA trilogy today, a fantasy adventure series on tour this month.
Do you like books that feature art? I sure do. Check out my list.
Currently Reading:
I'm eagerly starting this one later today.

Awww...thanks Deb.
DeleteI'm glad you are keeping your energy and ideas moving. I seem to be unmotivated. But that could be it's the hot month here. I do get spurts of excitement about doing some things but this month has been tough. Enjoy your new reads and keep up the great outlook!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Yeah, that happens occasionally to me when I do too much or have worries crowding my mind. Rest, time outdoors and a change of scenery usually help me get back on track.
DeleteYes! gotta have that attitude as we continue on these days. Lots of new to me books, always look forward to a Beatriz William's book. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you’re finding things to make you happy! I’m also trying very hard to stay positive during lockdown. Enjoy your new books. Have a great week!

Isn't that the truth, the simple things are the best and the more we stop to appreciate them the more we love being alive. Just stopping to glance out at the gorgeous evening sky as I write. Her Last Flight is one that appeals to me, hope its good.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a Beatriz Williams book I think I should read it! Without fail.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to try and see the positives, especially now.
I know! I feel the same way.
DeleteA great attitude to have!
ReplyDeleteI’ve heard good things about Her Last Flight.
Wishing you a great reading week
I'm looking forward to reading it.
DeleteI miss travelling too but you are correct, I think times like this make you appreciate what you have and I am certainly glad for everything I have.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.
