I sometimes have this dream that I‘m drowning in a giant bowl of oatmeal. That‘s how I feel when I‘m at home. When I‘m at school, it‘s different. I hang out with Zach, sneak Ritz Bits crackers during class, and read horror novels in history.

pickWow—for as much as I didn‘t love the first book in the #FrankieElkinSeries, I sure did love this second one! Impulsively, nomadic citizen finder of missing persons, Frankie joins the search for Tim O‘Day who went into the WY Shoshone National Forest with his groomsmen for a bachelor party weekend & was the only one to not make it out, despite being the most experienced outdoorsman. 5 years later, they‘re hoping the SAR dog Daisy can bring closure.
so-soI usually really like this author‘s books, but this one fell flat for me. A pretty slow burn, so for a thriller, it was kinda boring. 🤷🏻♀️
#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!
pickIt took me a moment to get into this story with its multiple timelines and broad cast of characters, including 3-4 Peters. Once I became fully absorbed in the parallel mysteries at the book's heart--the disappearance of Bear Van Laar in 1961 and of his sister Barbara 14 years later-- I couldn't put the book down. I'm still not sure whether the answers were completely satisfying, but it was certainly an engrossing read.
so-soThis tied things up nicely but not as nicely as I was hoping whilst midway, not bad
Jumping into this one on Spotify! So far so good, and I‘m at least not sobbing (thanks Backman).
