Sunday Salon: June So Far and a Countdown

Welcome! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed. Hope to see you again!

tss picture So this is the big month! My little boy is due on Friday(!). I think he’ll be late, so I’m trying to treat Friday as the first POSSIBLE day he could come, but we are getting close, and that’s exciting.

We’re really about ready for him here, so I’ve had some time to relax and read, even though I’m still working through Wednesday. My goal is to read a book per day this month until my little bundle of love shows up. If I can accomplish this I should be good on review copies, so I won’t have to think about them when I am wanting to spend time with baby or sleep. So far in June, I’ve been rocking this goal. I actually finished 7 books in the first 6 days of June!

Interested in what I reviewed last week? Here you go! Book covers link to reviews.

By the way, that review of “Belong to Me” is a giveaway!

This week I also posted my May Reading Wrap-Up and announced the list of authors and a publicist who will be providing guest posts for me over the next seven weeks while I’m busy with baby.

I was going to post some pictures of the baby’s room, but this post is getting a bit long, so I think I’ll do so in a second Sunday Salon.

Just one more picture, though, before you go. I want to acknowledge my biggest blogging and reading helper, Ellie. Here she is right next to me as I ‘ve been writing my Sunday Salon posts this morning:

I like the cover of Belong to Me. I want rainboots with those cool little pully-on things.

I would think that you have read enough books to carry you through for the next six months! I’m so excited for you and your husband and the birth of your baby boy! There is nothing quite like the birth of your first child!

I’ll bet Ellie will become the biggest baby helper you have too! Good for you with all the prep you’ve done before baby arrives. I know I spent hours after my first just watching him sleep, both because I was exhaustedly befuddled and because he was such a beautiful miracle. In later years, you’ll appreciate this: boy (noun): a sound covered in dirt.

Your kitty is beautiful! It will be interesting to see how Ellie adapts to the baby. My cat (who passed away after 17 years) did not like my kids when they were first born. However, once he got to know them he loved them to death. That took a couple of years though.
