Welcome to the Sunday Salon!This post lists new books and links up to It's Monday; What Are You Reading? at Book Journey; to Mailbox Monday hosted by Yolanda of Notorious Spinks Talks Books and to Stacking the Shelves by Tynga's Reviews.
Here is what arrived the past couple of weeks, some books I had been looking forward to and others a nice surprise.
Books finished:
Mystery Girl by David Gordon, review to be posted Tuesday for a book tour.
Alex by Pierre Lemaitre, a thriller in the vein of the Stieg Larsson books, but quite different in plot, and VERY creepy, as many French thrillers are.
Going Through the Notions by Cate Price, a cozy mystery in a new series, for a book tour this week.
Now reading:
Jana Bibi's Excellent Fortunes by Betsy Woodman, a novel set in northern India about a Scottish woman who lives there with her parrot and helper. The first in a series, the second of which, Love Potion Number 10, I also plan to read.
Reviews to be done:
The Sound and the Furry by Spencer Quinn, the sixth in the Chet and Bernie detective series, starring a humorous and unusual duo, Chet the dog and his human partner Bernie.
Enjoy the Labor Day events and long weekend! Put up your feet and relax. No labor on Labor Day, remember? Are you traveling, and if so, what are you reading?
I love the Chet and Bernie series and I have this one waiting for me to review. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI just love how the author speaks and tells the story from the dog Chet's point of view. So clever.
DeleteWow! I'll bet your heart is tripping over your feet to read each one. Enjoy! I enjoyed looking at each title. Will stay a little longer looking.
DeleteI'm curious about the Ann Patchett book. Enjoy your stack and your weekend! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe Ann Patchett book is her memoir, This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage!
DeleteWow! Enjoy your books, Harvee. I'm having a busy weekend, but will try to "read" an audiobook today. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a way to carry an audiobook around wit me, so don't listen much :(
DeleteNice stack of books and all of them are new to me. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThe stack has many good ones, Kathy.
DeleteLong weekend here as well. A good weekend for relaxing -- raining here.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy
It will probably rain later today, too. Enjoy the cool.
DeleteNo labor on Labor Day sounds good to me! Happy reading, great stack of books.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are on tour this week. I can't wait to see what you thought of Going Through The Notions :)
ReplyDeleteNo labor sounds great! Just another day to pack more reading in :)So many great books here! I'm looking forward to Ann Patchett's new book, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week. Enjoy 'em!
ReplyDeleteMy STS.
I haven't read any of the ones you've been reading, but I requested a copy of Cartwheel, too. Have a good week - looks like you've got enough good books to keep you going!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a great weekend to read.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have your reading labor cut out for you!
Wow...what a mailbox.
