Sunday Salon – 30 May 2009

TSSbadge4

Hello Sunday Saloners and regular readers!  I hope you all had a wonderful week, I know I did.  I’m officially back from vacation!  I did have internet access, so I have been commenting and posting a little.  As my mom said, “Hello!  It’s 2009.  Did you really think we wouldn’t have internet access?”

I read almost all the books, every single one except Beyond a Burning Sea.  I’m pretty proud of that!  I have quite a few reviews to write, so I’m working on that now. 

After publishing my post on 2666, a couple folks commented about their interest in learning more about Latin American lit, especially boom and post boom.  While I’m not an expert, I was a Spanish major, with the majority of my concentration in Latin American lit.  It’s one of the topics I’m most passionate about and I could probably talk about it for days.   I was thinking about having a feature where I highlighted one author and talked about their work?  Especially ones that a lot of authors that are very famous with Spanish-language readers, but need more US exposure.  Would this be something you’d be interested in reading?  Let me know!

Have a wonderful week everyone, and happy reading!
