Hello Sunday Saloners and everyone! I woke up this morning and lounged in bed for a while drinking my milk and reading another story from the Pen/O.Henry Prize Stories collection. The Nursery by Kristen Sundberg Lunstrum had a good premise: A teenage boy dies while wrestling and the boy who was his opponent is suspended from school pending the investigation. The story explores how the lives of the survivor and his mother are changed after the incident.
I liked the story, didn’t love it but did find it quite sad actually. This book is due back at the library soon but I’m hoping to read at least another story.
Now we are going out for some breakfast tacos (I know it’s past noon!) and maybe we’ll even catch a movie but I’m planning to do some visiting later today. In the meantime I wanted to leave you with two books I’m passing on.
The first one is The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny. I loved this book (review coming soon). The other one is Sister Pelagia and the Red Cockerel by Boris Akunin. This was my DNF book I talked about recently but hopefully someone will enjoy it more. So if you are interested, leave me a comment, tell me which one you’d like and I’ll do a drawing in the next few days.
Taco’s for breakfast! Sounds interesting. Would be interested in The Cruelest Month, but only if you are thinking about sending internationally. Don’t worry if not,as it can be expensive.
I’ll throw my name in for The Cruelest Month! Thank you! Oh, those tacos sound SOOOO good. I’m on a diet and feel like I’m starving to death. Of course I’m not – I could probably survive a year on all the extra holiday blubber I’m carrying around.
I have too many unread books as it is, so I’ll give someone else a chance. Have a good Sunday and enjoy the breakfast tacos. Vivienne needs to visit us in Texas:-)
I am trying to read books from my TBR pile in order to make a dent of it; but please count me in for The Cruelest Month, which sounds very intriguing! 🙂
Hi, I would be interested in the Cruelest Month. It would be my first Louise Penny book.
Gracias!
Happy Sunday!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. I did a little sleeping in today as well and then read an essay in bed. Too bad tomorrow will be an early start!
Ooh – a book drawing. Count mr in for the Cruelest Month. Happy Sunday!
No need to enter me – but I love the little More Book Lust person!
Vivienne – Breakfast tacos, the ones I love are potato and egg in a corn tortilla. So yummy. And, I’ll throw your name in the hat!
Sandy – You are too funny. I’m impressed with all the walking you are doing and I’m thinking of trying audio books on the treadmill although fast paced latino music is usually the only thing I can listen to while working out.
Kristy – Hey, hope you are doing great and you are so right, Vivienne needs to come to Texas to check out those delicious tacos.
Matthew – I’ll put your name in the hat. It’s a very good book!
Tricia – Definitely adding your name. I love this series so hope you’ll check ’em out.
Kailana – Hope you are having a good day too!
Danielle – I’m still not used to waking up super early for work again. I really am enjoying my job though so that definitely counts 🙂
Jrav – You bet! Happy sunday!
Melissa – Isn’t Nancy Pearl the coolest? 🙂
I love tacos! 😉
The Cruelest Month sounds good to me so I’d love to win it. Hope you’ve a wonderful week ahead, Iliana!
I don’t think I’ve ever read any selections from a Pen/O. Henry collection. I should, though!
I’ve read everything Louise Penny has ever written and enjoyed them all.I would like to have dinner with her great characters.
I don’t want either one (too much on my TBR) but I am glad that you can give these away. Good luck to all.
The Nursery does sound sad.
I’d love to be entered for The Cruelest Month, thanks 🙂
