Pickpick

I think this was my favorite book club pick of the year for our club! I literally couldn‘t put it down and stayed up late to finish it in practically one sitting! Williams manages three timelines between two main narrators with most chapters ending on a cliffhanger, making it easy to justify another chapter (or 3) at a time! It led to a very lively discussion (even among the DNFers!) & while the Egyptian storyline was a miss for some, I loved it!

A soft pick for these two loosely-connected stories that take place on Nantucket a year apart. These were super Hallmarky and perfectly pleasant. I enjoyed the first more than the second, because the mom in the second story drove me kind of crazy. But the greatest tragedy is that I was 160 pages in and all of the sudden the book skipped to page 216!! Right at the big finale of chaos (you know, where the kid ran away with the puppy and supper is ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) getting ready to burn and the baby is coming early and someone's ex showed up unexpectedly... the usual Christmas stuff 😂) SO I caved and purchased this book for a SECOND time except in Kindle version! All in all I was missing about 40 pages, which is a lot when the story is only 195pgs long. But it all worked out because then I was able to search the Kindle version for word search words and found 674!!!!!

So yeah, not groundbreaking ⬇

I feel like the luckiest recipient of the #modernwitchswap! Truly witchy!! I absolutely love the scarf (beautiful!!), and the spices and tea. I‘m sniffing everything and cannot wait to use them. And the books are perfect!!! Thank you @TEArificbooks I can tell so much care and love went into this. And the homemade card! That made my day!!

Read this many years ago but it has stuck with me. This is more of historical fiction than Spooky, but it does talk about the Salem Witch Trails.

Such a gorgeous Sunday! Hiked 2.7 miles this morning; of which the Grand did 2.2 before wanting her stroller--super impressed💞

And now I'm going to sit outside and start my #DoubleSpin before the fam comes for dinner.

“A cluster of interweaving narratives,” is how one blurb described it. The stories take place in New England and while they‘re all about the choices people make and how those play out they‘re also very much about place. You‘re never quite sure how one story will twist and turn nor how it‘s mate will pivot and surprise you. It‘s about love and loss and the transformation of people, and the landscape over multiple generations.

Suet624 I absolutely adore this book. I‘m glad to see people are picking it up. 2mo
