Sunday Salon: Memoirs and Fiction

I posted only four book reviews last week, but it was a good week for me as I normally finish about two reviews. A variety of genres:

Another Piece of My Heart aka
 The Patchwork Marriage
Pilgrimage to the End of the World by Conrad Rudolph, a travel memoir about a thousand mile trip from southern France to Santiago de Compostela, the famous pilgrimage site in Spain.

Lucky Child by Loung Ung, a memoir about a childhood in war torn Cambodia and leaving a sister and two brothers behind to immigrate to the U.S.

The Scarlet Pepper by Dorothy St. James, a White House Gardener mystery.

A Patchwork Marriage by Jane Green, a contemporary novel about stepmothers and stepdaughters, and coming of age.

On my reading list are Broken Spirit, a mystery by Charles L. Fields, and
Dana Stabenow's Alaskan mystery, Restless in the Grave.

What have you been reading/blogging recently?

  3. I don't know that I've ever finished 4 books in a week, so great job! You read a nice variety of genres, too.

    I've read very good reviews of Jane Green's book. I'm glad you liked it!

    Lucky Child sounds captivating as well as inspiring!

    I hope you have another great week!

  6. Four reviews seems like a lot to me! Today's been a mostly audiobook day for me. The spring cleaning bug hit today and I got a lot done.
