A Sudden Light: A Novel | 
so-soA family secret. Ghosts in the house. Both topics drew me in with the possibilities of where the story might go, but in the end it just never quite reached the point where I was so drawn in that the story absorbed me and held my interest well. Not bad reading, just not a "wow, you have to read this book." I did enjoy the historical parts about timber barons and the creation of National Parks.
#NUYear #AChildWithAGhost This is the first book that came to mind... It‘s a coming of age, multigenerational story which begins on a high note but quickly plummets. I read it for a review copy or else I would have bailed....It‘s the story of young protagonist, who returns to his family‘s rotting estate only to discover a trio of ghosts and long buried family secrets 🙄👻
pickA delightful summer read by the author of "The Art of Racing in the Rain". This is a very different reading experience. I really liked the previous book which was very popular, perhaps more so among "dog people". Though this one was not on a par with Racing in the Rain, it was well crafted and held my interest. Perhaps not as far fetched as "Discovery of Witches", still you have to have an open mind to accept his premise.
Just opened this one up to look at it and noticed it's signed? What a nice surprise! 😁
And of course I bought more books while I was at Goodwill. 😅 Pretty excited for the Ruth Ware because I really enjoyed The Woman in Cabin 10. Picked up A Sudden Light because it is the community book club pick where I live. And My Brilliant Friend is a #blameitonLitsy buy. 😁
