Welcome to the Sunday Salon! I have found some really good books to read, one of them A Half Forgotten Song by Katherine Webb, set in Dorset and London. So, I'm reading this sunny weekend, gardening, enjoying my backyard, and taking walks. I'm not in the mood for crowds or long trips due to a bum hip!I am also thinking about a book I should write ....
This post lists new books and links up to It's Monday; What Are You Reading? at Book Journey; to Mailbox Monday hosted by Abi at 4 the LOVE of BOOKS; and to Stacking the Shelves by Tynga's Reviews.
For two upcoming book tours, I've finished reading two very different books: The Wonder Bread Summer by Jessica Anya Blau, a crazy but wonderful coming of age novel (May 28) and Running with the Enemy by Lloyd Lofthouse, a novel of war and romance (May 31). I also finished reading a cute cozy, Mayhem at the Orient Express by Kylie Logan.
On my reading shelves are new uncorrected proofs :
Summer Death: A Thriller by Mons Kallentoft
Second Watch by J.A. Jance
The Whole Enchilada by Diane Mott Davidson
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
The Illusion of Separateness by Simon Van Booy
and two review books from the publishers:
The River of No Return by Bee Ridgway.... a nice surprise
The Fountain of St. James Court by Sena Jeter Naslund
I've read Jance, Mott Davidson and Moriarty before, and know I'll like their new books. The others will be a nice surprise.
What are you doing or reading this Memorial Day weekend?
Your weekend sounds a lot like mine except I work today -- seasonal part time job. So today will be busy, very busy. Tomorrow, like yesterday, gardening, reading and walking.
ReplyDeleteMy plan is to start the new week with The Husband's Secret...can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThe Wonder Bread Summer is on my list.
Enjoy! Here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST
Hope that your hip gets better. Looks to be an good bunch of books.
ReplyDeleteThe Fountain of St. James looks very interesting.Lately I have been thinking a lot about aesthetics, the purpose of art etc. It looks like that book really delves into those subjects.
Sorry to hear about your hip. I've heard so many raves about Simon Van Booy and finally downloaded one of his books to my kindle.
