Welcome to the Sunday Salon! Also visit The Sunday Post hosted by The Caffeinated Bookreviewer; It's Monday: What Are You Reading? at Book Journey. Also visit Mailbox Monday.I finished reading several books last week and posted reviews and/or comments:
Murder on Bamboo Lane by Naomi Hiraraha, a mystery set in ethnic neighborhoods of LA
Death Money by Henry Chang, a mystery set in NYC Chinatown
The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell, a novel of suspense with a controversial ending
The Collector of Dying Breaths by M.J. Rose, a fantasy
A book tour for The Medici Boy comes Tuesday and am still reading the book, though it's an easy read and very well done. After that, The Gondola Maker, another historical novel, is my May 8 book tour.
I received only one book last week in the mail! Bee Summers by Melanie Dugan, for another book tour on May 22. Before that, I'll review The Idea of Him on May 19.

How did your week shape up?
Sounds like a nice week and as if your garden is coming along beautifully. Happy reading! Mrs Poe is on my wish list, it sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover on Bee Summers....and hooray to adding more shelves.
ReplyDeleteI need to take another look at mine...time to purge again?
Enjoy your week...and here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Bee Summers looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt is so satisfying to clear things away. I never would have thought that when I was younger. But now I'm much happier to rid myself as stuff than I am to get anything new.

I am jealous at the number of books that you managed finish last week:)
ReplyDeleteA confession, Brian.I actually read two of the books earlier than last week!
DeleteMore space for bookshelves is always great! :) I'm ruining out of space and well I will have to find some. Bee Summers looks interesting and I hope you'll enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteHarvee, I am cutting back on my book tours right now. Best of luck with yours. The books sound very good. I love the cover of Bee Summers.
ReplyDeleteI see a few interesting mysteries on your list. The Other Typist really has my interest.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
quite a busy week! if you are looking for more books to review for tours, have you heard about France Book Tours? they are exclusively books set in France [all genres] or books translated from the French. We have great titles, in fact we had a tour for The Collector of the Dying Breaths recently. if you wish, come have a look at the previous and upcoming tours, and fill in this quick form to be in our database: http://francebooktours.com/be-a-tour-host/
ReplyDeleteYour garden sounds wonderful - still too cold to plan anything in my area so I'm a bit envious. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteHi, Harvee! It's fun having a relative to share cozies with. :-) I got my mom hooked on them last year, now she's always asking me for recommendations. I received Murder on Bamboo Lane for review, and the blurb sounded really good. I hope I can start it soon. Good luck with your garden!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my MAILBOX this week. Happy reading!
Sounds like you had a busy and productive week. I have run out of walls to put bookshelves on and also have to be very selective about what I keep. I downsized last year so that everything fit on shelves but need to do it again. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading some book tour books myself, although I think we are on different tours!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week and enjoy your books and your garden!
Enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteWe started on our garden, but don't have anything planted yet, still cleaning out and adding some more dirt.
Your garden sounds lovely! I've been thinking of planting a little something in my flowerbeds--still trying to decide what. They are pretty bare right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Other Typist is on my wish list, and I am looking forward to reading it at some point.
We really need to decide what to do with the twin bed in our garage. The frame is still strong and in good condition, although the boxspring has seen better days (thanks to the cats).
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I will love to know what you think of The Other Typist. I really loved the book, but the ending will blow your mind. :)
DeleteENJOY your reading week.
I absolutely love the cover of Bee Summers! Enjoy your reading week, and you're right. It's always nice to have some family members who enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday! Post

The Other Typist still drives me crazy. :)

Death Money sounds great, like the noirish sound of it and the Chinatown setting- i don't read a lot of crime stories but this one sounds great. Adding to TBR... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
As always, I like all your books. I read about The Other Typist on other blogs.
