This is my second Graves book, and I must say that I‘m enjoying her writing. Wren Waters, at 34 and living in Dayton, OH, receives back-to-back life-changing blows that she didn‘t see coming and falls into a mind-numbing depression. When her best friend succeeds in getting her out for a hike, she discovers geocaching and re-enters the world. On a trail of a week-long geocaching trip in Oregon, she meets Marshall Hendricks, a psychologist on a 🔻

As Wren begins to trust Marshall more, she opens up about her heartbreaks, but unfortunately, he shuts down about his instead. As the two grow intimately closer, the clock is ticking for them to return to their respective worlds…could 🔻 2w

This was a well-written, insightful look at two struggling people who find a like-soul in the other. Toward the end of the book, there is a twist, and the way it is approached/handled by both Wren and Marshall shows a growth and maturity that this reader had been rooting for all along.
Very well done. 4.25/5⭐️

I‘m absolutely failing at my #readordonate and my #readyourkindle - it‘s like I finished my #SciFiBookClub read and then had nothing left 😂

julieclair It‘s impossible to fail at #ReadOrDonate ! At the end of the month, if you haven‘t read it, you donate it. Done! 😀 4w

Choosing this for my Feb #seasonalcozies because Feb marks Sturgeon Spearing in WI- one of the only places in the world with the tradition, and the state of our ice is terrible 😂

Also choosing this for my Feb #readordonate in an effort to not overextend myself 🤣

julieclair I think that will probably be the most unique reason behind a book choice for the entire year! 😂 But I am sorry to hear the Wisconsin ice is thin and such a special tradition will suffer as a result. 2mo
BethM @julieclair haha you‘re probably right about it being the most unique! 2mo

The River Why | David James Duncan

#NewYearNewBooks #WhyInTitle Haven‘t read it but sold a lot of copies back in my bookseller years .

Kimberlone This is actually a really good book! My high school English teacher who was really into fly fishing had us read this senior year 🤣 2mo
Eggs Well done 👍🏼 2mo
SamAnne David James Duncan is wonderful. This was the first literary book I read placed in “my country.” I grew up in the Oregon Coast range. Then read Sometimes a Great Notion. I‘ve ended up working with David on salmon, steelhead restoration efforts. He is funny, brilliant and emotional. I highly recommend The Brothers K and his essay collection My Story as Told by Water. I‘m just starting his new novel The Sun House. (edited) 2mo
Leftcoastzen @SamAnne wow , that‘s amazing! The only book I have read was the tagged one . It was recommended to me by a person of faith who also is a philosophical thinker who always questions some elements of contemporary Christian issues 2mo
SamAnne @Leftcoastzen I love that essay collection! David grew up Seventh Day Adventist. These days eastern religions seem to inspire him most. I love the way he write about his spirituality 2mo

The first book in a new series set at a bakery/coffeehouse in the upper NW (#SeriesLove2024). This was a fun cozy mystery about Jules, who returns home after learning her husband had been keeping a secret from her. It was fun and I look forward to reading more in the series.

TheSpineView Great job! 2mo
Mollyanna @TheSpineView Thank you. 2mo
Librarybelle I liked this one and have the next two on my stack to read very soon! 2mo
Mollyanna @Librarybelle I have book 2 on my stack for February. I liked all the Shakespeare references and the supporting cast is fun, especially Lance. He cracks me up 😊. 2mo
Librarybelle Yes! 2mo

A Cup of Holiday Fear | Ellie Alexander

This was my very first cozy mystery, and it was fun! A nice switch up from the holiday rom-coms, while still keeping me in the holiday spirit. The whodunnit aspect was a bit abrupt as it didn‘t have a lot of lead up, but it fit into the story. I‘d definitely try another cozy mystery in the future.

Gissy The mug match perfectly with the book😍❤️❤️❤️ 2mo
Kaylamburson It does!! I was very excited about that 😂 luckily mine was not poison haha @Gissy 2mo

Have you heard of a Man Called Øve? This is the American female Christmas version! Two women have given up on Christmas. When a poor immigrant family next door has an emergency, a series of events, and a quilt, bring a myriad of people together to save Christmas and bring good cheer. An adorable story I‘d definitely make a regular holiday read. #Snowangels #WinterGames
