The Sunday Salon


Is it really Sunday already? It’s been a beautiful day here today. Today my parents, grandmother and I went out to brunch—my mom’s birthday is coming up this week. I’d really like to tell you all what my dad is getting her, but since she’s probably reading this, I’ll wait until later. Suffice it to say that it’s good!

As far as reading goes, currently I’m reading The Shadowy Horses, by Susanna Kearsley. In it, a young archeologist goes to Scotland to work on an ancient Roman archeological dig. Ghosts and the supernatural are promised in the near future. I’m only about forty pages in so far, but enjoying it immensely, as I usually do with Kearsley’s novels. It’s the perfect read for summer.

Also read this week: The Jewel Box, by Anna Davis, and The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte, by Syrie James. Both were highly enjoyable, and reviews of both will be forthcoming sometime this week or next, whenever I get around to writing them. I’ll also post a review of Sarah Dunant’s new book, Sacred Hearts, when it’s released on the 14th.

In other news, I’m planning the details of my trip to London in September—just bought tickets to see The Mousetrap! I read the play years ago, and I’m excited to see it onstage.
