Sunday Salon: Summer's Over

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

Seems summer is over, at least till it warms up again next week. I am wearing sweats and sleeping under a blanket till then.

Finished reading:
The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz, fourth in the Stieg Larssen thriller series. This one is controversial because of the new writer, but I gave it five stars.

A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn, the first in a new Victorian era mystery series.

The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screen by Thomas Caplan, a political thriller.

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger, a beautiful book crafted as a mystery novel. A five star read.

Won in a Library Thing giveaway:

A Cup of Water Under My Bed by Daisy Hernandez, published September 9th 2014 by Beacon Press.  In this coming-of-age memoir, Daisy Hernández chronicles what the women in her Cuban-Colombian family taught her about love, money, and race.
