The Sunday Salon


I said earlier this week that I would have pictures posted today from my trip… but I’m still trying to figure out my camera, so it might take some more time.

It’s been a busy reading week, however. In the past week I’ve finished:
The Conquest, by Elizabeth Chadwick
Confinement, by Katharine McMahon
The Street Philosopher, by Matthew Plampin (excellent book; read it nearly in one sitting on the plane back from London. Too bad it hasn't gained rights to be published in the States yet).
Mariana, by Monica Dickens

Currently I’m reading The King’s Mistress, by Emma Campion—she’s the one who write the Owen Archer mysteries under the name Candace Robb. This time she returns to the fourteenth century, focusing on the life of Alice Perrers, mistress to Edward III. It’s a huge book, both in terms of physical appearance and scope; and fewer than 100 pages in, I’m hooked.
In terms of reviews, this week you should see reviews posted of Michelle Moran's new book, as well as The Coral Thief by Rebecca Stott, which is coming out on Tuesday. You'll probably also see the revival of Cover Deja-Vu, in which stock images are used over and over again and I point them out.

What are you reading today?

It looks like you've been getting a lot of reading done lately!

I worked on reading some of Julie & Julia today. (I finished the other books I planned on reading earlier than I thought I would.)

First of all, I came across your blog because of Glue. I am now "following" you. And I like your blog. You read even more than I do; what a relief, my friends think I am supernatural or something.
Today I am reading Sunnyside by Glen David Gold. It is great so far!

A giveaway winner, and another giveaway

The winner of the Girl in a Blue Dress contest is... Anna, of Diary of An Eccentric ! My new contest is for a copy of The Shape of Mercy , by Susan Meissner. According to Publisher's Weekly : Meissner's newest novel is potentially life-changing, the kind of inspirational fiction that prompts readers to call up old friends, lost loves or fallen-away family members to tell them that all is forgiven and that life is too short for holding grudges. Achingly romantic, the novel features the legacy of Mercy Hayworth—a young woman convicted during the Salem witch trials—whose words reach out from the past to forever transform the lives of two present-day women. These book lovers—Abigail Boyles, elderly, bitter and frail, and Lauren Lars Durough, wealthy, earnest and young—become unlikely friends, drawn together over the untimely death of Mercy, whose precious diary is all that remains of her too short life. And what a diary! Mercy's words not only beguile but help Abigail and Lars...

Review: Mariana, by Monica Dickens

Mariana is the story of one young girl’s growth towards adulthood during the 1920s and ‘30s. The book begins when Mary Shannon is eight, and traveling with her somewhat flighty mother to Charbury, her grandparents’ house; and continues up through the time that Mary is twenty-four and waiting to hear news of her husband from the war. Monica Dickens (a great-granddaughter of Charles) depicts Mary’s maturation to adulthood with perfection. The reader sympathizes with Mary as she experiences the ups and downs of relationships and careers—experimenting with both seems to be pretty characteristic of Mary, as she grapples a bit with identity and independence. And yet, there isn’t the usual amount of teenage angst that one usually finds in a novel about growing up, which I found to be very refreshing. Mary is a sweet and sometimes naïve girl, but at the same time, she’s also wonderfully sarcastic towards her peers. She’s hard to like at times, but in an odd way, I found myself sympathizing wi...
