Sunday Salon: It’s Snowing on my Blogoversary

It’s my blogoversary! And how does it start out? Noticing that I accidentally published Monday’s post! Ah, well. So, if you noticed that a review of Alice Hoffman’s Green Witch has come and gone, it will be back. Tomorrow. Like the good little post it was supposed to be.

Lots of things doing in this Sunday Salon. Like, I’m hosting my very first sort-of challenge: Pursuing the Lioness. It’s not really a challenge because there are no rules, no pressure, just people getting together to read Tamora Pierce over a certain period of time. I’m still looking for guest posts and you can join up at any time. Click on the banner to the left and read what’s-up.

Because I posted about that, though, I totally missed out on talking about the Cybil’s shortlist for fantasy in the YA category. Here’s what I’ll greedily be reading over the coming weeks:

Candor by Pam Bachorz
The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan
The Dust of 100 Dogs by A.S. King
Fire by Kristin Cashore
Lips Touch by Laini Taylor
Sacred Scars by Kathleen Duey
Tiger Moon by Antonia Michaelis

What a great looking list! I can’t wait to get started. (Which I probably should. Soon.)

It’s been snowing steadily for the past two days. I’ve been in my house for the past two days. Reading, not finding the movie I wanted to watch, taking pictures. I’m totally in love with my new camera and, as I did warn you, I’ll be posting lots of photos. I’m still trying to get the hang of the features, but it’s fun just playing with it, snapping away. Generally annoying everyone who might be in range.
