The Sunday Salon used to be a meme but was getting so huge it became unmanageable, so it is now a Facebook group that has become an informal week in review
gathering place for bloggers.
It is also a place to share our thoughts about things of a bookish nature.
Hi Everyone,
It has been a busy couple of weeks. I updated by blog theme and finally finished adding all my books read to the Literary Escapes (Books by State) through 2016. I do plan a few more updates to those pages as time allows and trying to stay current adding books as I read them.
As for my 2016 Reading Challenges I finished 12 out of 14. I was unable to complete the Crafty Cozy Challenge even though I 159 cozies. I also only traveled to 43 States and 8 places Abroad for my Literary Escapes. You can see all the links to my challenge books here.
I also celebrated by 7 year Blogoversary with 5 days of giveaways.
Offline we celebrated with extended family on Christmas Day and our immediate family just yesterday. Kaden and Natalie stayed overnight and will be leaving soon to go home.
Full Version of Sunday Salon will return next week!

What charmers!!!
Sounds like a lovely visit with family! How fun to have the little ones (or not so little I should say!) for an overnight visit. 43 states is pretty impressive! I kept track very unofficially and only made it to 35 but I revisited the some of the same states a number of times! Have a great week!
You lived life to the fullest, and accomplished a lot. You had fun with family and friends. That’s perfect.
What a great picture! Have a great week!
Such a lovely family photo, Lori. Family always comes first. See you on the web this week:)
