   1 Oh, those snow cones bring back wonderful memories. I love them. Lucky you that it’s hot where you are–we’re getting ourselves a little bit of snow again believe it or not. lol. Darlene’s last blog post..Winners of Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch Reply to this comment.

   2 Those snow cones look wonderful. I was in the mood for a shaved ice yesterday and don’t know anywhere to buy one around here. Kathy’s last blog post..I love my Book Buddy Reply to this comment.

   3 I’m glad you’re enjoying Laws of Harmony. That is one I really want to read! I haven’t had a snowcone in YEARS! Sounds yummy, especially in the heat. Lisa’s last blog post..The Sunday Salon: New Beginnings Reply to this comment.

   4 Those snow cones would definitely have hit the spot yesterday. Today it’s cold, rainy and dreary Sounds like you had a great reading week! Belle’s last blog post..TSS Another Big Book Giveaways List Reply to this comment.

   5 Ha! This weekend was the Dogwood Festival here in Siloam Springs, AR, too! As well as in Fayetteville, NC, I heard. It was overcast yesterday morning when I walked downtown, but I was smart this year and lathered sunscreen on all exposed skin, learning the lesson of the past two Dogwood Festivals, from which I did return with painful reddened skin. I had an Italian cream soda, but those snow cones look mighty nice. Word Lily’s last blog post..In This Mountain by Jan Karon Reply to this comment.

   6 Ooh, snow cones! I can’t believe it’s in the 90s in April. I hope your house is cooler so you can settle down with your book today. =) Meghan’s last blog post..[TSS] A Cover Question Reply to this comment.

   7 Glad to hear you liked A Story of a Marriage – I just picked that up from the library yesterday. And like you, we’re also getting the 90 degree weather in April. Betty and Boo’s Mommy’s last blog post..Best of the Week – April 19-25, 2009 Reply to this comment.

   8 Dar – I can’t believe you’re getting snow! That sounds so good right now (please don’t shoot me for saying that). Kathy – ours were much messier than the ones in the picture. I got to where I didn’t care a bit about getting cherry syrup all over my pants. Lisa – come back on the 4th, because I’m going to be having a giveaway of Laws of Harmony. Belle – it was definitely a laid back reading week for me. I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it is nice to have those once and a while. Wordlily – did you have 500 corvettes in your parade? I guess one of the big sponsors of the Vinton festival is the local Corvette club. I could see having a few older models in a parade, but I start getting tired of them after a while. What was the biggest hit in your town this weekend? Meghan – after we got home, we stayed in the basement and it felt so good! We have air conditioning, but normal air didn’t feel nearly as nice as the basement. Ahh! Betty – I will look forward to your review. We had a great discussion on Friday. See if you can filter Twitter to display only #pic3 after you’ve finished. Literate Housewife’s last blog post..The Sunday Salon ~ 04.26.09 Reply to this comment.

   9 Yes, I’ve definitely entered! That is alot of writing and reviewing for one week. It would be daunting to me. I try very hard to write them as I finish the books, otherwise I start overthinking! Sounds like you had a good week! Sandy’s last blog post..Everyone is Beautiful by Katherine Center (audio) Reply to this comment.

    11 I had mixed feelings about Story of a Marriage. Liked it and didn’t. Gave it away while I was in San Francisco. Hope someone else is reading it and enjoying it. debnance’s last blog post..Sunday Salon: Keep Your Hand Moving Reply to this comment.

    12 Hey… this is sort of off topic but I saw Andrew Sean Greer and Vanina Marsot at The Festival of Books this weekend. Check out my post, I mentioned your interview with Marsot too: http://bookchatterandotherstuff.blogspot.com/2009/04/sunday-salon-april-26-2009.html Ti’s last blog post..The Sunday Salon: April 26, 2009 Reply to this comment.

    13 Ti beat me to it. But I’ll say it anyways. I had never even heard of Story of a Marriage until yesterday when I saw the author at the Festival of Books (and yes, I was sitting next to Ti). And Greer was so funny I bought his book. softdrink’s last blog post..Freakonomics Reply to this comment.

    15 The snowcones look yummy! I can’t believe it was in the 90s! Reply to this comment.

16. Fyrefly Posted: Apr 27th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

    16 I enjoyed Andrew Sean Greer’s first book well enough, and Story of a Marriage has been on my wishlist since I heard about it, but I’ve never really been motivated to actually get my hands on a copy. Should I change that? Also, I owe you an e-mail (and/or a phone call). This week, I promise! Fyrefly’s last blog post..Julie Kenner – California Demon Reply to this comment.

    18 “The story of a marriage” is on my list of books to read, too! I see you had a great week! I was passing by to tall you an award is waiting for you on my blog. Have a great day! Reply to this comment.
