Dandelion Cottage | Carroll Watson Rankin

If not because of #TBRtarot I would not have chanced upon this book or author. A well-written, delightful story of four girls who turned a run-down cottage into their summer play house. I enjoyed the nice humour, and the way the girls are portrayed..reminds us of the simple joys of growing up. Published in 1904, it‘s old fashioned but sweet.

erzascarletbookgasm Have you read this @LeahBergen ? I think you‘ll enjoy it 😊 1mo
LeahBergen Thank you! This has been on my “to find” list for several years! It sounds so good. 1mo
erzascarletbookgasm @LeahBergen It‘s available on Gutenberg but it‘ll be lovely to own a vintage edition, look at that cover! 1mo

• 316 pgs • first pub 2017 • fiction • horror • mystery • dark • gothic • 4.5 Stars

The End of Temperance Dare by Wendy Webb is a good fit for those seeking a haunting and atmospheric mystery that delves into family secrets and the eerie sins of the past.

When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of a renowned artists‘ retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor‘s dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a “waiting room for death.”

I have no problem reading three books at once as long as they are all different genres. #Education #Horror #Poetry #bookstagram

This story was set during the summer but with those fall vibes of haunted place. Brynn was in a grief process and was invited by a friend to spend the summer in Wharton. But there were rumors that the place she decided to stay, is haunted. As a expected Brynn started to feel, see and hear things which seem to be connected with her present and probably other lives.
What I like about this author is that her stories are so atmospheric ⬇️

Gissy It is a slow pace story, character driver. It is a gloomy, sad story but I don‘t know I liked it. The narrator in the audiobook adds this melancholic tone.
Apparently this is a second book of Daughter of the Lake but it didn‘t bothers me. I think this author has this distinctive way to write similar to Darcy Coates, in that slow pace, atmospheric stories, well, at least similar to me.

I had read all Peter Geye‘s books and didn‘t know this one existed until someone on Litsy ( I can‘t remember who said this one was her favorite.). I concur, I loved it! September reading wrap up. Other highlights: The Collected Regrets of Clover and When Women Were Dragons.

May 12 #MayMontage Read in the Storm. I don't have any recommendations for any book read in a storm, but I do have a song from a Canadian icon who passed away last week. I grew up with Gordon Lightfoot singing in our living room. I was sad to hear he was gone. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Me too, listened to lots of Lightfoot in early 70s🥰 11mo

We get a lot of Jenny, Cork‘s oldest daughter, in this book. When Cork is asked to find a missing girl, Jenny feels drawn to this case, even having a vision (not usual for her) about it, and insists on being a part of it. The world of this case is dark and sad, but we meet a new character, Daniel, who I like and hope he stays around. I‘ve yet to be disappointed in this series, although one book upset me. #audiowalk

It was such a beautiful day today— not too hot and with a lovely breeze. Jenny is getting her first real taste of following a case all the way in this installment of the Cork O‘Connor series. #audiowalk

I switched from The Twyford Code to Windigo Island as my walking book for two reasons: 1/ Windigo Island is a library book while The Twyford Code is not, and 2/ I was in the mood for the O‘Connors. I do not know how I managed to walk and not get rained on given all the rain we‘ve been having. #audiowalk

#14 in the Cork O‘Connor series, this one centers around the sex-trafficking of young girls near Lake Superior from the nearby reservation. Engrossing and compelling!
