Sunday Salon: Snowy January




It's definitely been a snowy January here in Ohio. We've gotten at least 3 feet of snow and my son had two snow days this past week. He was thrilled of course and had fun playing in the snow but it was too cold to stay out very long. We spent a lot of time indoors but I wasn't able to get as much reading time in as I wanted to. I have to admit that I started watching the Gilmore Girls season one on DVD and I've become a bit obsessed! I read about the Gilmore Girls challenge hosted by Lisa at Lit and Lifewhen Molly wrote a post at My Cozy Book Nook. It sparked my interest as I missed watching this show and didn't realize that it had a bookish focus and it's funny and very well written. I started watching the first season of Gilmore Girls and I'm hooked. The challenge has started already and I just may join in.

I am reading Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman and am loving it! I have found that I enjoy reading southern fiction. They have such richness and a down to earth sense of reality to the books and are very well written. I adore this book, Cee Cee is a character that I will not forget. Beth Hoffman will be in town this week for a book signing and I have such a dilemna...my book club meets the same night. We are discussing The Help  and I want to be at both events. I have to see what I can do and make a decision. Beth kindly sent me an ARC of her book and I would love to meet her.

  1. It's been cold here, too, but thankfully we haven't had any snow.

    You do have quite a dilemma on your hands! Beth Hoffman will be here at a lunch in February and I bought my ticket a long time ago.

  2. Somehow I missed watching The Gilmore Girls when it was on as well. I managed to watch all the seasons on DVD from Netflix and loved it. That is a challenge I would be interested in if I had time to do challenges this year. I might challenge myself with it at a later time.

  3. It was 73 degrees today. I'd be happy to share some of the warmth with you as it throws me off when it's this sunny in January but I can't figure out a way to do it :0

  4. Watching the Gilmore Girls from the beginning sounds like a great winter activity!
    Let me know if you decide to go to the signing. I'm thinking of going too.

  6. Our schools never close here - nothing does here.

    I loved the Gilmore Girls. I wouldn't mind getting all the seasons on DVD. I joined the challenge as well a while ago.

    I'm going to be reading CeeCee Honeycutt as well. I can't wait.

  7. You too?

    So we have had the same weather as Ohio. Fun. We had 70-80 centimetres of snow last week, and my school was closed for three days. More fun :D

  9. I thought we were getting socked with snow! We got 2 1/2 feet in December but only a mere 9" in January. And now it's melting! **melting snow dance will now commence**

  10. It was driving back to Ann Arbor from Akron at the end of February in a blizzard that my husband and I decided to move out of the midwest. :)
