June Armchair Travel Plans



Next month I will be returning to India with the next book in Janet MacLeid Trotter's Raj Hotel historical fiction series. The Sapphire Child meets the requirements of two reading challenges:  the Color Coded and Historical Fiction Challenges.  Singapore is another stop I will make on my travels with The Singapore Secret by Clair Willis. Also, I will cross over the pond for Charles Finch's newest novel Midnight in the House of Commons. The book is the 16th Charles Lenox mystery. Last month I didn't get around to reading White River Crossing. It's a popular new book taking place in the sub-arctic Canada. Eve Chung's The Young Will Remember is set in China just after the end of the Cultural Revolution. 


My American travel includes Washington DC in the early 1800s to read The Editor's Daughter by K. A. Felstad. The Margin of Death is a financial crime thriller with a dual timeline. It connects 893 England with the current era in New York City.  Then we have Ice Cold Body, an Snowy Alaskan Murder Mystery by Kelli Fudge. This book is a cozy mystery. Favorite author Wanda Brunstetter will publish Melody of Love in a few days. Since this is an Amish fiction story it is set in the American Midwest. Finally, A River Red With Blood takes place in Maine’s Kennebec River Valley. Written by John Connolly it is a June 2026 new release. To complete my U. S. based armchair travel I will read Lisa See’s newest novel Daughters of the Sun and Moon. It takes place in post Civil War Los Angeles. I think this is a new, to me, setting for a Chinese immigrant story. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the book. It's going to be published next month.

Where are you traveling in June?
