Sunday Salon…4.11.10

Happy Sunday to you all!! It’s a BEAUTIFUL sunny Sunday here in Raleigh, North Carolina and if it weren’t for all the pollen still in my backyard I’d lay out a blanket to bask in the sun with my current personal fun read (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith). How fun this book sounds especially when it adds two of my favorite genre’s together? I’m learning that sometimes we just have to put the review books to the side every once in awhile and just pick up one of our own selections. Last week I did that and read Uncertain Magic by Laura Kinsale. And you know what? I don’t think I’m going to post a review on it. I tweeted a bit about it while I read but I’m thinking I just want to enjoy some books without the pressures of book review expectations. Perhaps some would disagree but this just works for me. I was in a bit of a book funk, then started picking up books for my own enjoyment instead of what was on my calendar (yes I have a review schedule) and enjoyed my reading time.

So tell me…what was the last book you just read out of enjoyment and not for someone else or your blog?
