The Sunday Salon #meme

Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes

Ah, my first time doing The Sunday Salon. So — to be quite honest, not quite sure how to do it correctly. I believe we just chat about what we’re reading and our thoughts (whatever they may be). I guess I should discuss what I am currently reading, Random Magic by Sasha Soren. So far the word, “Genius” comes to mind. It reminds me of a mixture of Harry Potter (word play/magic) and the oddities and strange characters in Alice in Wonderland.

So far one of my favorite parts of this book are the chapter titles. For example, the title of chapter 17 is “In Which the Path Goes Cold, And A Strange, Floating Girl Appears. Coincidence? We Think Not, But You Know What Happens When You Make An Assumption.” You can’t help but laugh. They give you an idea of what is to come but sometimes are just pure humor all on their own accord.

I am a little less than half way finished. I wanted to do nothing more than to read it all day yesterday but my husband won tickets to the UCF football game yesterday, on the 50 yard line — and well, we had a great time. (Even though it was hotter than hell out). Prior to that game we stopped by the Maitland Art Festival, in which the library was having it’s annual book sale. I wish I had known about it earlier.. but even so, we left with a BOX full of book scores! (All less than $1 a piece!)
