Sunday Salon: First Robin of the Year

Welcome to the Sunday Salon where bloggers share their reading each week. Visit The Sunday Post hosted by The Caffeinated Bookreviewer. 

A robin showed up yesterday, a sure sign of spring, I thought, but then it got really cold again today and I haven't seen it since! Envying the pictures of flowers and blossoms from everywhere else warmer. But then, it's still March here!

I finished reading 
World Gone By, an historical thriller by Dennis Lehane
Bittersweet, a psychological suspense by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore
Murder on the Champs de Mars, a murder mystery set in Paris, by Cara Black


I got one new book in the mail, a Murder She Wrote mystery, and bought A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. Am also reading a couple of books for tours in April. 

Hope you all benefited from Bloggiesta this year, those of you who participated.

  1. Murder on the Champs de Mars sounds intriguing! I hadn't heard of it but it looks like my kind of book! I'm curious about A Spool of Blue Thread. I've only read one Anne Tyler book and while I enjoyed it I haven't been motivated to pick up another book by her yet. Have a great week!

    1. If you like Paris, you might like this series, Katherine. I am liking A Spool of Blue Thread, though I just started it. It's about a son whose parents can't quite figure out. Makes me wonder where this is going...

  2. Every time I see that Anne Tyler cover, I think how beautiful that blue thread is. It's been years since I read a Tyler book. Need to get this one just to look at the cover. LOL

    Hope your robin comes back!

  3. Aah - I loved Bittersweet last year and couldn't believe how little play it got in the blogging world! I know it's not as "high brow" as some other stuff, but what a fun read, great for summer.

  4. We had robins too, the other day, and then we had snow. Now it's cold. Maybe they'll return sometime soon.

  5. I have an audio ARC for Spool Of Blue Thread, but I have been having a terrible time with the downloading them. Right now I am listening to THE SHADOWS by JR Ward. My post: http://fangswandsandfairydust.com/2015/03/je-suis-pret.html

  9. I am eager to read my copy of A Spool of Blue Thread. And I am definitely curious about World Gone By.

    Bloggiesta was a very productive time for me...even after I created some problems on my blog that required time and effort to fix. LOL

    Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

    A Spool of Blue Thread looks good - enjoy
