Okay, so I have not posted a Sunday Salon for a couple of weeks, so there are a lot of books here. This is not my typical week. There are several Christmas books listed here. I love Christmas books!

For Review

A Desire Path by Jan Shapin
for TLC Book Tours

North Pole High by Candace Jane Kringle

As I said, I love Christmas books and I am excited to read this one ~ from Santa's daughter.

Lionel's Christmas Adventure by Paul. R Hewlett

Another fun Christmas book.

Bought

Robot Twin: the Further Adventures of Santa's Twin by Dean Koontz
I love Dean Koontz and simply adore his book, Santa's Twin. The illustrations are amazing too. I recently discovered the sequel to it and of course had to get it for my shelves too.

A Cowboy for Christmas by Lori Wilde

Once again, love those Christmas books!

Look Up For Yes by Julia Tavalaro
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
These are the books for my November book groups. I have read The Book Thief already so I will be rereading it. Being in 2 book groups sometimes means I have to read the same book more than once. Which usually is a good thing.

Won

Loving David by Gina Hummer
from ChickLitPlus
Thanks so much!

The Opposite of Me by Sarah Pekkanen
Ten Beach Road by Wendy Wax
Interesting that I got 2 books featuring beaches as we head into winter. Maybe they will help keep me warm when the snow is falling and the cold wind is blowing!

Bought

A couple of week ago, I went to the South Dakota Festival of Books. I was able to connect with some of my favorite authors and get some signed books.

I Gave My Heart to Know This by Ellen Baker
I have loved the cover of this book since the first time I saw it. Then I read in Ellen's newsletter that she was going to be at the festival. I knew I had to see her! And then I found out that she graduated from the town where I now live.
Small world ~ gotta love it!

Once Upon a Time, There Was You by Elizabeth Berg
I love, love, love Ms. Berg and everything she writes. I attended one of her sessions and she is a wonderful speaker. It was amazing to be able to talk with her too!

Dead Case in Deadwood (Deadwood Mystery #3)
by Ann Charles
I know I have raved about Ann and her Deadwood series. I love her and her books! My daughter and I were able to spend some time with her - what a hoot! Here is the link to my thoughts on her first book in the series. I highly recommend them!

The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson
Ms. Jackson is one of my good friend's favorite authors so I got this autographed book for her. Shhhh, it's a secret ~ don't tell!

Won

The Day I Lost My Shaker of Salt by Jen Tucker

I won this from a giveaway on Tracie Bannister's blog. Tracie is the author of In Need of Therapy, which I read and reviewed. My thoughts on that book are HERE.

Thanks Tracie and Jen!
