and an audio win from Soho Press:
The Blood of An Englishman by James McClure, a mystery set in South Africa.
I am currently reading a library book:
Fleur de Lies by Maddy Hunter has travel agency owner Emily Andrew-Miceli taking her band of tech-savvy seniors to France, cruising down the Seine River. But once a guest is found dead along Normandy's famed Alabaster coast, Emily bids adieu to the hopes of a fatality-free trip. (goodreads)
For a book tour by the publisher, I'm also reading
The Beautiful American by Jeanne Mackin: From Paris in the 1920s to London after the Blitz, two women find that a secret from their past reverberates through years of joy and sorrow. (goodreads)
What books are on your summer reading list?
These all look so good! I have The Hurricane Sisters on my list...and now I want to add the others. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great variety for summer reading. I hope you enjoy all of them!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great books lined up! I've been wanting to read Dorothea Benton Frank... her books seem perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you really have some great books lined up.
ReplyDeleteTech savvy seniors are not a fiction. I have a relative in his 70s who spends lot of time on social media and is more adapt at it then almost anyone e else that I know.
I love the covers! I hope you enjoy the books.
ReplyDeleteThe Hurricane Sisters reminds me of something Anne a Rivers Siddons may have written. I loved her books in the summer (and year round, too.) the last one looks perfect for Paris in July. Will yoube reading for that?
ReplyDeleteWow, they all sound good! I have Dawn Eastman's book in my review stack for next month. I've got my eye on The Beautiful American, because I love early 20th century historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteThese all look like great summer choices.
ReplyDeleteAll of these look like great books!
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of books. Fleur de Lies and Be Careful What You Witch For sound like books that should be on my TBR Pile. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDawn Eastman's book is set in Michigan so I'm curious about that one. And Fleur De Lies just sounds fun- a cozy set in France? That could be good. :)
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome week!
The Beautiful American has a great cover.
