Sunday Salon: All Mystery

Welcome to the Sunday Salon where bloggers share their reading each week.Visit The Sunday Post hosted by The Caffeinated Bookreviewer; Also visit It's Monday: What Are You Reading hosted by Book Journey and Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews.

Fall is here and am out of the house again after nursing a nasty cold for a couple of weeks. Found a new dim sum place yesterday and ate too much. The nice thing about dim sum is that you can have as much or as little as you like as each little dish has only about three bites or small portions - Asian style tapas, but going back hundreds of years.

I have found some good books at the library recently, finished
Stillwater, an historical novel of Minnesota in the 19th century and 
Death of an Englishman by M.C. Beaton. I am now reading Jussi-Adler Olsen's newest Scandinavian thriller, The Marco Effect.

After reading and loving Us: A Novel by David Nicholls, I borrowed the ebook of his previous novel, One Day. I was not as taken with this one, however, and finished it quickly, something you can do with an ebook.

New books on my TBR shelf are:

Moriarty
For the Dead
French Pastry Murder
Stirring the Plot


Literally Murder
Picked to Die
Click on the blue titles under each book cover for book descriptions. 

What's new in your reading?

  16. I'm glad to hear you loved Us- I'll be reading that one soon. And dim sum...yum! Have a great week :)

  17. I'm reading the Genevieve Lenard series by Estelle Ryan. Genevieve describes herself as non-neurotypical. She is on the high-functioning scale of the autism spectrum and is an expert at reading body language. Her life expands and explodes when she's involved in finding art thieves. Quite a unique protagonist and Ms. Ryan does a great job at getting the reader into the mindset of someone dealing with autism.

    I hope you enjoy all your reads :)
