The Sunday Post, Issue #27: Memorial Day Reads and Upcoming Book Reviews


Happy Sunday, Everyone! 

I hope you are all safe this Memorial Weekend. I'm sorry I didn't post last week; I just didn't feel up to it. The last two weeks have been very busy, and I need time to rest. 

This Past Week... 

I shared a review that was not very positive about a book called The Madness by Dawn Kurtagich, and I interviewed Kayleigh Dobbs, who wrote a book called THE END

On my other blog, Gunsmoke & Grit, I wrote about the book "Colton Gray, Deputy U.S. Marshal." This book is said to be written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, but it was actually written by a ghostwriter.

Coming Next Week... 

Tomorrow, on Memorial Day, I will review a book called Memorials by Richard Chizmar. Later in the week, I will review The Queen by Nick Cutter. I will review The Outcasts by Al Cody on Wednesday for Gunsmoke & Grit.

Bookmarked... 

I will start reading a book called Shadow of the Solstice by Anne Hillerman tomorrow. It is a library book that I need to return by June 4th. After that, I will finally read Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Toward the Night by James Swallow. I am taking my time with Around the House by Henry & Janice Holt Giles; I am on page 36. 

New to the Bookshelf... 

I got some new ARCs, including a paperback of Sentinel by Mark Greaney and Line of Demarcation by M. P. Woodward. I will review these in June. 

I also found some books at a thrift store: The Kingdom by Clive Cussler with Grant Blackwood, Lost City by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos, and Skinwalkers by Tony Hillerman. 

From eBay, I bought four nonfiction books by Janice Holt Giles: Around the House, 40 Acres and No Mule, Wellspring, and The Knita Years, along with a book about Janice Holt Giles: A Writer's Life by Dianne Watkins Stuart. 

Finally, I received Going Home in the Dark by Dean Koontz, which I ordered from Amazon

How has your week been? What good books are you reading right now? I would love to hear about them!
