The Sunday Salon... New Year, New Books!

Welcome to The Sunday Salon! Happy New Year! The Sunday Salon is the place where Book Bloggers from around the world share their bookish finds with one another in a virtual place called The Sunday Salon. Thank you to for Deb at ReaderBuzz keeping us all together on Sundays and hosting The Sunday Salon now! I also visited with Kim at The Caffeinated Reader, another Sunday gathering place for us bookish people called The Sunday Post ! It's a beautiful day in South Carolina and a perfect day to talk books. And talking books is what The Sunday Salon is all about! 

And just as soon as Thanksgiving and Christmas arrived, they were gone... and the new year slipped in.

I never make new years resolutions anymore. But I do put up a GoodReads books read tracker on Chick with Books, and make a guess as to how many books I want to read this year. This year I put a very reasonable 25 as the goal. Of course, I will probably go over that, but it will be fun to see when I get to 25. Already I have a new pile of books waiting for me because... ALL my reserve books at the library came in the SAME day! Even though they were all suppose to be months away! The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite have been waiting for me to finish my "first book", Heart the Lover. 

(Psst, I finished Heart the Lover, started The River is Waiting, finished that last night and next up is Atmosphere).

Do you make a goal of how many books you will read this year?

What the new year definitely brings are new books! What are you looking forward to? Are your favorite authors releasing anything new? Here's what's coming soon from some great authors...

Skylark by Paula McLain... 

1664: Alouette Voland is the daughter of a master dyer at the famed Gobelin Tapestry Works, who secretly dreams of escaping her circumstances and creating her own masterpiece. When her father is unjustly imprisoned, Alouette's efforts to save him lead to her own confinement in the notorious Salpêtrière asylum, where thousands of women are held captive and cruelly treated. But within its grim walls, she discovers a small group of brave allies, and the possibility of a life bigger than she ever imagined.

1939: Kristof Larson is a medical student beginning his psychiatric residency in Paris, whose neighbors on the Rue de Gobelins are a Jewish family who have fled Poland. When Nazi forces descend on the city, Kristof becomes their only hope for survival, even as his work as a doctor is jeopardized.

A spellbinding and transportive look at a side of Paris known to very few—the underground city that is a mirror reflection of the glories above—Paula McLain’s unforgettable new novel chronicles two parallel journeys of defiance and rescue that connect in ways both surprising and deeply moving.

I am so excited to read this! My favorite book by Paula McLain is Circling the Sun. She does an incredible job bringing to life historical women.

Published by Atria Books and coming out this Tuesday, January 6th!

Woman Down by Colleen Hoover...      

Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.

Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career―and herself.

Then he shows up.

Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.

Don't we all love those twisty romances Colleen Hoover writes! This sounds like another winner by her!

This is published by Montlake, an imprint of Amazon and will come out January 13th.

 **************************************

The Storm by Rachel Hawkins... 

St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the Rosalie Inn, a century-old hotel that’s survived every one of those storms, and Lo Bailey, the local girl infamously accused of the murder of her lover, political scion Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.

When Geneva Corliss, the current owner of the Rosalie Inn, hears a writer is coming to town to research the crime that put St. Medard’s Bay on the map, she’s less interested in solving a whodunnit than in how a successful true crime book might help the struggling inn’s bottom line. But to her surprise, August Fletcher doesn’t come to St. Medard’s Bay alone. With him is none other than Lo Bailey herself. Lo says she’s returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all, but the closer Geneva gets to both Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores.

Published by St. Martin's Press and will be released this Tuesday, January 6th!

Heart the Lover by Lily King... a Review

Lily King, you ripped my heart out. You may not have meant to... no, I'm sure you meant to... and here I am trying to put into words what I just went thru...

I can tell you what the story is about... first love, young love, family, friendship, choices ( oh, definitely about choices and how they affect you til eternity). It's a friends to lovers story. There's a love triangle. There's mention of lots of classic literature and some made up literature (which you wish you could actually read). There's sex, but it's not blatant and more talk than action. Shall I go on??

Our protagonist tells the story starting out how she met Sam and Yash in college, which changed the course of her life. The guys give her the nickname Daisy (as in Buchanan) and eventually that evolves into Jordan (as in Baker), both literary references that seem humorous at the time (and cute), but makes me wonder if they are creating the girl they want in her as apposed to the girl she is (and I wonder this after finishing the book and know what happens in the end).

Their college days are spent in literature and debates, love and friendship, and expanding their understanding of the world around them. And as in any good love story, there is pain and hurt and misunderstandings, which we learn have repercussions many years later. As they get thru college, the course of their lives change in unexpected ways until ultimately there is understanding and forgiveness.

I want to talk to someone who has read this already so badly! 

BTW, for all the bookish people out there, you will love all the references to authors such as Hemingway, Henry Miller and F. Scott Fitzgerald (and that's only a few of the 50+ references).

Heart the Lover is moving. Lily King's writing innocently draws you in and won't let you go. It makes you think, remember... I read the book in 24 hours, not being able to do much until I got to the last page. I actually borrowed this as an ebook from the library. It came in just as I was debating about my "first book of the year". I figured I would be able to read it in 14 days even though I was going to start it on January 1st (It is"only"256 pages). Not only was I able to read it in the time I had, but now I need to actually buy a copy because I'd really like to be able to dive back in to all the literary references, read it again and have a copy on the shelf.

Heart the Lover was published by Grove Press this past September.

 This Chick with Books gives it 5 Hearts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

First Lines Friday...

 "Somewhere among the nestled fissures and cradling dark-blue bluffs, between towns such as Hazard, Hell-fer-Sartain, Kingdom Come, and Troublesome, comes the Book Woman.

     Steadfast, she rides her mule through the hollers to deliver books. Where shadow-draped days set between the hills before the blue hour dissolves into coal-dust skies and a new dawn welcomes the rare delights of a children's moon, the Book Woman pushes on."  

 The Mountains We Call Home by Kim Michele Richardson

If you loved The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and particularly loved the heroine Cussy, here comes a treat for all of us! The return of Cussy to her home! I loved the first book and so did everyone in my reading group! This is actually #3 in the story, but it is a standalone, so you didn't have to read the first 2 books to enjoy this one. Kim Michele Richardson is a great storyteller. Her writing is inviting and will have you totally absorbed in reading it without realizing it. I am so excited to start this one! I have an advanced copy of the eBook waiting for me for from the publisher,  Sourcebooks Landmarks! This will be at a bookstore near you April 26th! Put this on your TBR list!

Here's a blurb from the publisher...

In this standalone and companion novel to the The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek series, our heroine for the ages, legendary book woman, Cussy Lovett, returns home. A powerful testament of strength, survival, and the magic of the printed word, The Mountains We Call Home is wrapped into a vivid portrait of Kentucky examining incarceration and criminalization, exploring the effects on the poor and powerless, and tracing the societal consequences of fractured family bonds, along with nostalgic glimpses of a bustling, multifaceted Louisville, and heartwarming portraits of reading efforts in every facet of life. 

Meticulously researched and richly detailed with a new cast of absorbing and complex characters, this beautifully rendered, authentic Kentucky tale is gritty and heartbreaking and infused with hope, spirit, and courage known only to those with no way out.

First Book of the Year 2026!

 

Heart the Lover by Lily King

Drum Roll please...... yes, my First Book of The Year is Heart the Lover by Lily King! 

From the Publisher...

You knew I’d write a book about you someday. 

Our narrator understands good love stories—their secrets and subtext, their highs and their free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules.                                

In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off-campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship, love and her own intellectual ambition. Youthful passion is unpredictable though, and she soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever.

Decades later, Jordan is living the life she dreamed of, and the vulnerable days of her youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news bring the past crashing into the present, Jordan returns to a world she left behind and is forced to confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.

Doesn't that sound intriguing?? I've been wanting to read this since it was the Indie Next pick for October. I'm excited to start reading this today! Stop back soon to read my thoughts and a full review!

Memoir Monday... The Book of Sheen

 

I remember Charlie Sheen in his early days in movies such as Platoon and Major League. And then my thoughts turn to crazy Charlie Sheen who did these crazy things that created lots of drama. Quite a few actors follow this path and then are saved from themselves. I recently saw Charlie Sheen on a talk show and was amazed at how honest he was about his past and how proud he was of his being sober for the past 8 years (He should be proud, it's a life saving accomplishment!). He was funny, self deprecating and I became interested in how he had turned his life around. His memoir, The Book of Sheen, reveals all of that...

The Book of Sheen by Charlie Sheen... " For the first time, Charlie Sheen, the star of Platoon, Wall Street, Major League, and Two and a Half Men, writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.

“We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.”

Charlie Sheen should not be alive to write this book.

But in The Book of Sheen, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words. Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets—from his father’s all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names themselves, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn, and the Lowe brothers.

Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, a young soldier in Platoon, and an ethically compromised trader in Wall Street. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in Spin City and Two and a Half Men, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.

Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humor, candor, and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. The Book of Sheen comes across like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life—yet it is all true.

Published by Gallery Books Sept. 9th, 2025, this book is now available at your favorite book seller... and it's on my wishlist. Some celebrity memoirs are the same old stuff, but I think this one is destined to be a page turner.

Do you ever get the "feelies"?

I haven't read a Dan Brown book since The DaVinci Code, which was a very long time ago (I talked about this last Sunday). But when I was reading the description of The Secret of Secrets, Dan Brown's newest offering, it really sounded like something I could get into... and I bought a copy. The first thing I noticed as I opened the book was... the paper. Not just because it had words on it and I was going to start reading it, but the paper was.... luxurious! The feel of the paper was silky smooth and the weight of the paper, as I lifted one between my fingers, was wonderful... I was doing the "feelies"... feeling the pages between my fingers.

This is one reason people love real books! This tactile feel makes for a connection you just can't make with an ebook. And where most of my books these days are trade paperbacks, with pages that have a more rough feel, like recycled paper, The Secret of Secrets hardcover was a different animal. 

Publishers have a lot of choices when it comes to actually publishing the book. There are choices in covers (french flaps, anyone?), the weight of the paper, the finish of the paper, the font, the size of the font, deckle edges maybe? Now we have spray painted paper edges too. They also have a choice between hardcover and paperback. (Back in the day, most books were published in hardcover first with the paperback following about a year later. Nowadays, the trend for a lot of books is to go right to a trade paperback). With all these choices how do they decide? (I'm not sure, but I am going to try and find out...)

Do you like the feel of a real book?

I can't remember the last book that had pages that felt this way. Now I'm going to have to grab all my hardcovers and feel the pages....

Do you prefer "real" books, aka physical books, or ebooks? Hardcovers or Paperbacks? Let's talk! Let me know in comments below how you feel about the books you are reading!

Happy reading... Suzanne

Memoir Monday... Softly I Leave You by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley

 

Their love story mesmerized the world... or at least every girl who wished they were Priscilla. Imagine being plucked out of the audience of your favorite pop star because he chose YOU to love?! But the fairy tale turned to something else. We were all sad for Priscilla, we all wondered how could she leave him? And now we can read in Priscilla Beaulieu Presley's own words how life was after Elvis. This is her story...

Softly, As I Leave You by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley... "Priscilla Presley’s divorce from Elvis left his fans incredulous. How could she leave the man every woman wanted? From the outside, life in Elvis’s mansion looked glamorous and enviable, and in many respects, it was. But inside the mansion, her husband was constantly surrounded by a male entourage while at the gates, lines of beautiful women waited hopefully for an audience with the King. From the time she was seventeen years-old, that life was all Priscilla had known. During her ten years with Elvis, it became painfully apparent that she had no idea who she was outside Elvis’s world. The only way to find herself was to leave that world and seek a new life of her own, because leaving was the only way to survive, for herself and for her daughter.

 Softly, As I Leave You, is the deeply personal story of what Priscilla lost and what she found when she walked away from the man she loved. Despite the legal separation, their love for one another transformed into a touching and tender dynamic that endured until Elvis’s untimely death four years later. Shattered by Elvis’s passing, she had to reinvent herself a second time as the single mother of a talented, often headstrong daughter who never really recovered from her father’s death. Priscilla’s dedication to motherhood was enriched by the birth of her second child, and she gradually found her footing as a businesswoman, actress, designer, and legislative advocate. She transformed Graceland into an international destination and helped guide the development of Elvis Presley Enterprises. But the unexpected, shattering loss of three immediate family members years later brought Priscilla to her knees. She shares her journey with a quiet dignity that will comfort and reassure anyone who has suffered – and survived – seemingly unbearable loss.

A passionate, compassionate, and inspiring story of finding your place in the world, Softly, As I Leave You, is a sweet Southern melody that will take the reader with Priscilla on her long road home."

In the basement of my best friend, Liz, we loved Elvis week! It was the week all of Elvis's movies were on TV. I'm pretty sure it must have been during the summer, because I don't remember having to worry about school. But we made sure we were in front of that TV in Liz's basement when the movies started. I wasn't a huge Elvis fan, I was more into the Beatles, but there's something special and mysterious about him. And Priscilla is an interesting person in her own right. So, when I heard about this book, I had to read it. 

Published recently on Sept. 23rd, 2025 by Grand Central Publishing, you can find this on the shelves of your local bookstore or library. Grand Central Publishing graciously sent me an ebook and I am turning the pages on it as we speak and enjoying it. Come back to see my full review...

The Sunday Salon...a bit of Nostalgia to Comfort you into the Future

Welcome to The Sunday Salon! It's the place where Book Bloggers from around the world share their bookish finds with one another in a virtual place called The Sunday Salon. Thank you to for Deb at ReaderBuzz keeping us all together on Sundays and hosting The Sunday Salon now! I also visited with Kim at The Caffeinated Reader, another Sunday gathering place for us bookish people called The Sunday Post ! It's a beautiful day in South Carolina and a perfect day to talk books. And talking books is what The Sunday Salon is all about! 

A little over 15 years ago, I started this blog. I had started a reading group with some of the people I worked with and decided it would be fun to write about all the great books we were reading and books I wanted to read. I looked back over some of those posts over the years and got a bit nostalgic. Before BookTok or streaming, before zoom and ebooks, before a lot of things, there was a group of people who loved books and loved talking about them. We found each other and visited each other's blogs and chatted about our love of books. Publishers found us too. There were no ebooks, so wonderful hardcovers & paperbacks found their way to us thru the mail. We reviewed books, helped new authors, had giveaways and did all this for our love of reading. (Omg, we even had conventions!)  It's fun to look back at those books and posts. Some of those people and their blogs are still around. Some have had life take them in other directions. But... There will always be books and we will always be talking about them... and this week are back at it! So I'm going to turn my attention from those fun early years and back to ... What we should be reading NOW! 

Remember when The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown hit the bookshelves?! It hit the publishing world like a Tsunami. EVERYone was reading it! It seemed to take over the world. I had never read Dan Brown before, but he did have one other book published before The DaVinci Code that introduced us to Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology... Angels and Demons. I remember being totally absorbed in that book. I loved it! And I wanted to read Dan Brown in order, so I naturally started reading the first book of the "Robert Langdon" books, Angels and Demons, first. Next read was The DaVinci Code. I liked The DaVinci Code ( I really thought Angels and Demons was better), and that was the last of Dan Brown for me... until now. 

No particular reason for not reading any more of Dan Brown. After The DaVinci Code, it was 6 years before his next novel and by then I was reading other authors. But feeling that bit of nostalgia, I wondered, how is Robert Langdon doing these days? Here's the intro to the new book by Dan Brown...

The Secrets of Secrets by Dan Brown... Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon—a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing an explosive book that contains startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and threatens to disrupt centuries of established belief. But a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, and Katherine suddenly disappears along with her manuscript. Langdon finds himself targeted by a powerful organization and hunted by a chilling assailant sprung from Prague’s most ancient mythology. As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine . . . and for answers. In a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

Published at the beginning of September by Doubleday and weighing in at 678 pages it's gotten good reviews... and it is on it's way to my nightstand. What do you think? Are you a Dan Brown fan? Have you been waiting for a new Dan Brown novel?

**********************************************************

Another nostalgic look back at beloved reads, brings me to Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. My very first review on the blog was for Pillars of the Earth. Short, sweet and to the point, I absolutely loved this book! It was over 1000 pages, but I just couldn't put it down... and neither could anyone I knew. After reading that book, it was a long time before anything else could compare. It's wonderful reading a book that really grabs you, but when you finish reading it, it's like a period of mourning because it's hard to enjoy any other read. The next book in the Kingsbridge series was  World without End, but either being totally exhausted from reading the 1000 pages of Pillars of the Earth or just not getting into it, World without End sat on my nightstand for forever, until I slipped it onto the bookshelf for "someday", which hasn't come yet. But now... Ken Follett has a new book, and a new locale... Stonehenge. Circle of Days is the newest novel from Ken Follett and here's the publisher's blurb...

Circle of Days by Ken Follett...

A FLINT MINER WITH A GIFT... Seft, a talented flint miner, walks the Great Plain in the high summer heat, to witness the rituals that signal the start of a new year. He is there to trade his stone at the Midsummer Fair, and to find Neen, the girl he loves. Her family live in prosperity and offer Seft an escape from his brutish father and brothers, within their herder community. 

A PRIESTESS WHO BELIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE... Joia, Neen’s sister, is a priestess with a vision and an unmatched ability to lead. As a child, she watches the Midsummer ceremony, enthralled, and dreams of a miraculous new monument, raised from the biggest stones in the world. But trouble is brewing among the hills and woodlands of the Great Plain.

A MONUMENT THAT WILL DEFINE A CIVILISATION... Joia’s vision of a great stone circle, assembled by the divided tribes of the Plain, will inspire Seft and become their life’s work. But as drought ravages the earth, mistrust grows between the herders, farmers and woodlanders – and an act of savage violence leads to open warfare…

Truly ambitious in scope, Circle of Days invites you to join master storyteller Ken Follett in exploring one of the greatest mysteries of our age: Stonehenge.

So, is this the new Ken Follett book that is going to grip me? I hope so! And I have a ebook generously given to me by the publisher, Grand Central Publishing in my Kindle right now that I am so looking forward to reading! 

*********************************************************

What do you choose to read during those quiet times? The moments you just want to relax and be inspired? For some of those moments, I turn to poetry. And one of my favorite poets is Mary Oliver! When I think of Mary Oliver, I think about getting back to nature. She has an uncanny ability to breath life into the words we use to describe the natural world around us. Her book, Devotions is a staple on my coffee table in my livingroom. Unfortunately, Mary Oliver passed away in 2019, but we are left with a large body of work we can enjoy over and over. And if you've never read Mary Oliver, you are in for a treat. Her newest book is Little Alleluias and here is what the publishers say about it... 

Little Alleluias by Mary Oliver... a An archival compendium of three complete works by Mary Oliver: the book-length poem The Leaf and the Cloud, the collection What Do We Know, and essays from Long Life—with a foreword by fellow Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Postcolonial Love Poem Natalie Diaz. For the many admirers of Mary Oliver's breathtaking poetry of touch and transcendence, as well as for those coming to her words for the first time, Little Alleluias is a revelation. These works observe, search, pause, astonish, and give thanks to both love and the natural world. In constant conversation with the sublime, (i.e. "Are you afraid? / Somewhere a thousand swans are flying / through winter's worst storm."), Oliver has the rare skill of rendering life: her poems and essays bring movement to stillness, and people to the Earth, themselves, and each other. Page by page, she invites us to walk through her minutes, her moments, and revere the light and dark and rainbowed clothes of world alongside her.

With three distinct books collected in one volume for the first time, Little Alleluias asks what passes and what persists, and offers readers the peace that every mind deserves.

Little Alleluias by Mary Oliver was published Sept. 9th, 2025 by Grand Central Publishing. I'm so lucky to have gotten an ebook copy of Little Alleluias from the publisher this week! Thank you! Look for my review of this latest book of Mary Oliver!  

*************************************************

So, this week was a look back to remember what came before and a look at what has come out now... We love and follow certain authors because we love their writing, or love the world they created. I loved Robert Langdon and running around with him in Angels & Demons, so I'm excited to travel to Prague with him in The Secret of Secrets. I loved the city of Kingsbridge and the people who lived there, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the people who built Stonehenge in Circle of Days. And I've always loved sitting quietly and reflecting on the nature surrounding us thru Mary Oliver's writings, and look forward to revisiting her work, with something I've never read before. I hope you decide to come along for the adventure! But the adventure doesn't stop here. I have some other exciting reads to share in the week (and weeks) to come... and this week, something from a favorite author, who I've read every year at Christmas time, but decided to write something for... Halloween! 

What book did you love at one time and the author wrote something new that you absolutely love too?!

I hope you've found something new to read today! Stop by tomorrow to read what I've got to share for ©Memoir Monday! Midweek, we'll talk about that Halloween read... and Friday, we have something new for ©First Lines Fridays!

Happy reading... Suzanne
