I am juggling ebooks and books right now, going from one to the other, from Kindle and Nook to the paper book. Too many books that are hard to ignore.
A Taste of Paris: A History of the Parisian Love Affair with Food by David Downie
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
The temps est assassin by Michel Bussi, in French
I finished reading
The Leavers by Lisa Ko, May 2, 2017
My comments: An interesting story with a theme about immigrants who come and go, in New York and China, and leave parts of their families behind in each case. Deming is raised by American foster parents after his mother disappeared from his life. What will he choose later in life - the American or the Chinese parents he was to eager to reunite with, both or neither?
I found young Deming contradictory at times, but maybe that is the way the author wanted him to be.
New books include
The Templar Brotherhood by James Becker, October 3, 2017, courtesy of Berkley
Ghost on the Case by Carolyn Hart, October 3, 2017, courtesy of Berkley
A Room with a Brew by Joyce Tremel, courtesy of Berkley
Perfectly Undone by Jamie Raintree, courtesy of Graydon House
What are you reading this end of summer?

I'm sorry you felt so meh about the main character in Leavers. It's a book I was planning to read. Not sure now.

I would read it to see if you have the same or a different reaction. Certainly worth a look for the immigrant experience.
DeleteThe Templar Brotherhood looks like it will be good. Enjoy! I've read Carolyn Hart before, but I need to get caught up on that series. I definitely have it on my TBR, though. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteToo many to read, Martha. Wish I had more time.
DeleteYour mailbox has some interesting reads. This one sounds different.
ReplyDeleteNew and more stories about immigrants in the US are being published, Mystica. A good thing!
DeletePerfectly Undone caught my eye. I've read a couple of Graydon House books this fall and loved them both so I'll look for this title. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteA lighter read, for laid back moments, Mary.
DeleteI'm switching between print books and audio books right now. I always say I'm going to read more ebooks but I never do. The Leavers sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteMay try audio books again.
DeleteI should look into A Taste of Paris!
ReplyDeleteAm learning about tbe history of the city too.
DeleteThe Leavers does sounds interesting. I've been reading Destined to Fail by Samantha March.
ReplyDeleteThat's a new one to me. Hope you are enjoying it.
DeleteEnjoy all your books! I may have to pick up A Room with a Brew, or the first in the series.
ReplyDeleteCozies are always good. I don't read them in sequence all the time.
DeleteI haven't read anything by Carolyn Hart for years. I remember enjoying them. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteShe is a prolific writer!
DeleteMaybe the author was trying to show how people can be contradictory in real life.
ReplyDeleteI usually read two books at a time. I cannot seem to handle more then that :)
Yes, I would love to read others' comments on the book!
DeleteThanks for the info about THE LEAVERS.
ReplyDeletePERFECTLY UNDONE sounds interesting.
Have a great week.
