The Sunday Salon is 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.
You can also link up weekly on Readerbuzz.
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by

We had a quiet New Year’s Eve but I did watch an excellent movie, The Six Triple Eight, directed by Tyler Perry.
It tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-female battalion that served during World War II. The war drama movie highlights the group’s struggles against racism and gender discrimination as they tried to ensure the swift delivery of a massive backlog of mail intended for the soldiers on the frontline and their families back home. Their work was pivotal in maintaining troop morale, even if they faced massive opposition at the time. The film is based on Kevin M. Hymel’s 2019 report ‘Fighting a Two-Front War,’ detailing the unsung contributions of these women of color in a time of great need. It stars Kerry Washington as real-life commanding officer Charity Adams who helped the U.S. Women’s Army Corps unit sort through millions of undelivered letters and packages mailed to American troops. It is streaming on NetFlix. Find out about the cast here.
I spent the rest of the week preparing my blog, books, and challenges for 2025. I didn’t get everything done that I wanted to, so I will have to find time somewhere to complete everything.
This weekend we are celebrating our family Christmas. Then it will be back to book reviews and book tours. Three new tours begin this week with many more to follow. Many requests came in over my holiday break and I am excited to get them set up and promote some good books to escape into with Great Escapes. New tour hosts are always welcome!!

My friend recommended Six Triple Eight to my writing group. I need to look for it now that you have recommended it, too.
Happy blogoversary!
I’ll have to check out that my movie. Happy Blogoversary! Have a great week!
We watched that movie last week too. It was very good. What an important service those women did. Amazing!
