The Sunday Salon (Feb. 20)
I almost didn’t do a Sunday Salon post this week, because I didn’t feel like I had anything to talk about. I have nothing to complain about, after giving myself permission to have a life away from blogs and social media. I feel much more relaxed this week (sort of) than I did last week, or ever for the past couple of weeks. Of course, I still worry about things– who doesn’t?– but I don’t feel stressed, which I think is the important part.
I just realized I haven’t been paying any attention whatsoever to my reading challenges for the past month, so I guess that means I’m quitting them. Whoops?
My 23rd birthday is this Friday! It’s my first birthday as a no-longer-in-college person, which I guess is exciting. I remember thinking last year that I was going to do something interesting and new in my next. Not one of those “I spent a year living on top of an elephant” kind of things, but something interesting to ME.
Since I’m hoping to go abroad to teach English later this year, I think that counts as the something new and interesting. Right? Right.

I’m still slowly making my way through The Whitechapel Horrors, but I’m also going to start Madre by Liza Bakewell, because she’s coming to a bookstore near-ish to me on Saturday and I think I’m going to go see her. About 63% sure I’m going on Saturday, anyway. Maybe more like 56% sure.
In My Mailbox (16)
In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren (who was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie‘s This Week in Books). Basically you just post about new books that came into your house over the past week, whether in the mail or by getting them at the library or by buying them in a store. Capiche?
