Anyway, we were not sick, thank goodness. That would have sent me right over the edge! <br /><br />Nicole - well, The Seance definitely is spooky. Nothing like a story about an old haunted house! I love it!<br /><br />Kathy - It really was heaven to be able to sit and enjoy my company, versus running around. My husband just doesn't seem to get it...he thinks that it is all in great fun when I cook!<br /><br />Gavin - the amazing thing about Woodson is her ability to really impact your emotions in such a short number of pages. <br /><br />Celtic Lady - I can be kind of sarcastic sometimes when it comes to our weather. I like sweater temperatures, but don't get much of that down here. You would laugh at how many people down here DO pull out their jackets when it gets below 80 degrees!<br /><br />Jackie - OK you are the second person to read my post and think we were all sick. What did I say? I guess I was sick of the book fair, and my mouth really hurt after I left the dentists' chair!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-39928833507867037132009-10-04T17:38:25.054-04:002009-10-04T17:38:25.054-04:00It is great to hear that you can relax now the boo...It is great to hear that you can relax now the book fair has finished and I'm sorry to hear you were ill. I hope you're all better soon. <br /><br />The Seance isn't the easiest of reads, but I'm sure that you'll enjoy it if you find the time to concentrate a bit. <br /><br />I hope you have a good week - I'll be back in a few days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-11848202214327156842009-10-04T17:24:43.508-04:002009-10-04T17:24:43.508-04:00I just had to make a comment on the "bonechil...I just had to make a comment on the "bonechilling" 72 degrees you had there..

I am also reading Frankenstein as well. I don't usually read spooky but I am feeling in the mood for it this month.<br /><br />Jacqueline Woosdon is awesome. I read Hush by her and I can't wait to read more. <br /><br />Great first Sunday Salon post!Nicole (Linus's Blanket)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-9369056815302656352009-10-04T16:00:36.911-04:002009-10-04T16:00:36.911-04:00Welcome to the Sunday Salon, Sandy!

It's sometimes nice to have a day where you can talk about whatever bookish thoughts come to mind. :-)<br /><br />I imagine you are relieved to have the book fair behind you. I think it's wonderful that you are able to do that.<br /><br />I am sorry to hear you all got sick! Something is going around my office and so far I've been lucky to avoid it. I hope I will continue to do so.<br /><br />I really want to read The Seance. Hopefully you'll find some distraction-free time to read. That happens to me know and then too--where I really need a good chunk of time to settle in with a book, undisturbed.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Sandy. I wasn't able to drop in and comment this past week, and I apologize for that. Hopefully I'll be around more this week.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
