Sunday Salon: It's Too Cold Outside to Do Anything But Read

Welcome to the Sunday Salon where bloggers share their reading each week. Visit The Sunday Post hosted by The Caffeinated Bookreviewer. 
Also visit It's Monday, What Are You Reading? hosted by Book Date. 

Came home from a short trip to sunny LA and found snow and frigid temps in Ohio and also a few new books to temper the sudden shift from 80-degree LA to 19-degree Ohio.

Remembrance by Meg Cabot, fantasy published February 2, 2016, William Morrow. The 7th in the Mediator novels.
Everything's Relative, contemporary women's fiction by Jenna McCarthy, published February 2, 2016 by Berkley
Keep Calm, political thriller by Mike Binder, published February 2, 2016 by Henry Holt and Co.
The House on Primrose Pond, contemporary fiction by Yona Zeldis McDonough, published February 2, 2016 by NAL
North of Here, contemporary fiction/romance by Laurel Saville, to be released March 1, 2016 by Lake Union Publishing. For a TLC book tour review in March. 

I am currently reading Lisa Lutz's thriller, The Passenger, and enjoying the story of a woman's attempts to change her identity and start a new life away from a troubled past.

  1. I really enjoyed Meg Cabots princess diaries when I was younger but couldn't get in to her Mediator series. What are your thoughts on them?

  2. I don't want to leave the house today either, but hubby bought us tickets to see the documentary Love Between the Covers at the local theater! It's -2 right now, but when we leave for the show it should be about 6 degrees! ugh...

    I have a copy of Remembrance, and it looks like a fun read! I'll be cracking that next week. Great selection of books you're sharing today too! I've had The Passenger on my wish list and am glad you are enjoying it!

    Have a great week!

  5. Quite the temperature difference. Stay warm! Some good books, it looks like. I do like the Mediator series - well, I did. It's been a while since Cabot wrote it. I'm listening to it on audio as a reread before I read Remembrance. I'm happy that she's going to let us know 'what happened after they grew up'. Kind of like she did with the Princess Diaries through Royal Wedding.

  10. Nice group of books to come home to. I read one Lisa Lutz book but it was just so-so for me. Looks like she may have turned a little bit more serious since.
