The Murderer's Daughters
The Murderer's Daughters | R.S. Meyers
7 posts | 15 read | 13 to read
Sisters Lulu and Merry share a terrible past. When Lulu was only a child, she let her drunken father into the family home and watched him kill her mother - and then turn on six-year-old Merry. Years later, clinging to the wreckage of their childhood, the sisters try to make sense of what happened. Bound by their love for each other but divided by private grief, forgiveness comes at a higher price than either could have imagined. The Murderer's Daughters is a gripping and moving story of the ramifications of one violent act and the endurance of family loyalty - even when it is stretched to the very limit.

Currently reading: The Murderer‘s Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers

I really love the author‘s writing style. It flows beautifully and she seems skilled at haunting the reader with devastating one liners. I suspect this book is going to break me. I also suspect I‘m going to love it.

What are you reading now?

This was seriously the most fun I‘ve had making a video! I think I‘ll need to include him in more!

EadieB Watched your video and loved it! I like that your husband was so interested in helping pick your books. I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn very much. In the 2nd pile I thought he would pick the one with ‘husband‘ in the title too. In 3rd pile I thought he would pick Ani D‘Franco book. Please tag me when you do your next video. Thanks! 5y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB Thanks for watching and commenting! It looks like you and I were on the same page with some of our predictions. I am still kind of shocked that he didn‘t pick It‘s Always the Husband! It was a really fun video to make! I‘ll definitely tag you for my next video. 5y
EadieB @Butterflyamore I watched your last video too about the prompts and agree that making a planned list of books in the beginning does not work for me either because of all the new books that come out or books others have enjoyed always call me to read them and I soon am falling behind on my planned list! 5y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB Yes, it gets kind of depressing after a while when you try to adhere to the plan! 5y

#bookclubbook which I finished only because of book club. I started skimming about halfway through. This is one of those books about nothing...it follows the lives of two girls through the years as they live and grow with the stigma of a father who murdered their mother. It showcases all the ways their childhood and past screwed them up and the ways in which they persevere. It seemed monotonous to me, with little of interest. I was bored.

abookishbutterfly Yes! This is very similar to what I said in my review. I was disappointed in this one. 5y

#ReadJanuary Day 11: #DNF

I'm notorious for finishing books even when I'm not enjoying them. I need to remember that life is too short and there are so many books to read!

This is a book I bailed on recently, simply for the reason that I'm squeamish. I get dizzy when reading anything that suggests self-harm, and this one made me worried, so off to the Little Free Library it went.

May have to bail on this one. I'm 2 chapters in and the realistic violence has me dizzy. I don't get me. I read Stephen King! One minute detail is all it takes.

Not wanting to faint, though.
