Welcome to the Sunday Salon.
A robin has been building a nest for weeks outside my window.
April winds shake the small tree, her bits of twigs and grass blow away.
Has she lost her ability to make a nest? It keeps falling, bits and pieces.
Perhaps she will triumph today, before the new winds blow.
On my spring reading list:
The Ghost of Lily Painter by Caitlin Davis, a haunted house thriller.
Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurdardottir, Scandinavian thriller
The Wild Wood Enquiry by Ann Purser, cozy mystery
Murder Buys a T-Shirt , thanks to Kaye, Pudgy Penquin Perusal
The Concubine Saga by Lloyd Lofthouse, historical fiction
An Unexpected Guest by Anne Korkeakivi, re a British diplomat's wife in Paris
The Lost Ones by Ace Atkins, thriller
Under Oath by Margaret McLean, legal thriller
The Fear Artist by Timothy Hallinan, thriller set in Thailand
I'm reading these two memoirs for TLC book tours this month and next:
Lucky Child by Loung Ung, a Daughter of Cambodia Reunites with the Sister She Left Behind, memoir
Lulu in the Sky by Loung Ung, a Daughter of Cambodia Finds Love, Healing, and Double Happiness, memoir
And for lighter reading, I have two library books: Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl and Remember Me?
Whew! Would you believe I'm also doing some writing of my own? What have you been up to and what are you reading?
Book Reviews, mystery novels, memoirs, women's fiction, literary fiction. adult fiction, multicultural, Asian literature
