Sunday Salon 11.1.09

Last week was a doozy, I didn't get anything accomplished that I had set out to do. But in my defense, on Monday I woke up with a 104.5 temperature, went to the doctor and tested positive for Influenza A and was suspected to have H1N1. So you can about imagine how fun my week was. I was so delirious I couldn't even spend those days at home with a book! But... now I'm back. I can't promise I'll get a whole lot accomplished this week either though. My professors were pretty lenient when it came to extensions — but now I have last week's homework and this week's homework to do before Monday. Oh boy.

I am still hosting a contest — "Thanksgiving at the Inn" is the perfect book to come out of the Halloween season with. I loved it! AND I decided to extend the deadline until November 15th! I reviewed a GREAT book — really, it is phenomenal -" A Duty to the Dead." And to make the week complete, I received an award from Laura at Laura's Reviews.

Sharon was also this week's Guest Reviewer — donating her review of The Time it Snowed in Puerto Rico. Please share some book love and visit her at Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews.

I have decided to give up "Mr. Darcy's Dream." I just cannot force myself to finish it. I will think about doing another contest or perhaps a quick — someone send me a review and I'll give you the book — type of thing. Stay tuned this week.

Still at 30 amazing followers.:)

My goal for this week is to get 100% better and do my homework — sorry guys, this week is going to be a bit boring.

(This if from last week — I'll try to do this) Also, each week I'm going to start making a "To Do" list for blog related things — not just reading. It's soon to be the time of year when I'll be sending the HTML address for Miss Remmers' Review out to prospective school districts and I want to make sure it is "spot on". if you have any ideas as to how to make this blog more awesome — please let me know.

Yesterday was Halloween, due to my sickness I had to cut back on my activities A LOT! But, I did make an appearance at the last college football game I will attend as a full time undergraduate college student (exciting!). I then spent the day in the library working on a Harry Potter paper and a Milton presentation on Book IV of Paradise Lost. For the evening, I curled up with my best friends in the dorms and watched Hocus Pocus and pigged out on candy (all while wearing my witch's cape — I might put a picture up later). Today, I finished off the Halloween season by undecorating my room (sad day) and going out and spending the last fifty dollars to my name on reduced priced halloween decorations. Next year I'll have a whole house to decorate — it's going to be intense!:)

Don't forget about my awesome giveaway!

Happy Sunday everyone!
