This book just about killed me. I didn‘t feel until the end just how deeply its roots have embedded themselves in my mind and my heart. Two lifelong friends spending a lifetime each, searching for a voice from the darkness. More than that, it‘s a search for a serial killer. But each of those descriptions does not do this epic novel justice. Yes it‘s long, but it is so worth the investment. Did I cry at the end? You know I did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a very cute short story. What do you do the day your ex gets married? Probably not what happens in this story. On the other hand, who knows what might work for you? A short and sweet tale of redemption. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn‘t know what to expect from this book in this genre I rarely read, but it surprised me half way through when we finally learn the identity of the woman in the title. I probably should have known sooner, but I honestly didn‘t know this woman‘s history, or anyway the version of it in this novel. Abuse, intrigue, espionage, escape, stardom, WWII, invention, misogyny. Not a lot has changed, but this book has made me want to learn more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is not my genre. (I read it to get a Goodreads bookmark.) So I didn‘t know what to expect. This book is a bit more sappy than I really like, but it was also a bit more magical than I thought it would be. That combination was just right and I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Witches and humans solve a problem and maybe start a bit of a revolution in the world of both. Magic, love, family, and a happy ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

mcctrish This was just an impulse purchase for me and it was just the loveliest book to read imo 2w
Suelizbeth @mcctrish I couldn‘t agree more. And I love the cover. Also, just the right length. 📚❤️ (edited) 2w

Memorial Days: A Memoir | Geraldine Brooks
post image
Pickpick

I expected this book to be sad, and it was, but it was also honest and open and cathartic, both for the author and for the reader. Geraldine Brooks generously shares her experience of the loss of her husband and her delayed period and method of mourning. It‘s an inevitability that we will all experience in our own unique ways. This is a lovely book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Edwidge Danticat‘s writing is clear and succinct. She is a master of the essay form. This book covers a wide range of topics, both personal and global. One of the later essays in the book is about Haiti and its political climate and it sounded eerily familiar. Definitely a book to add to your library. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG! I can‘t believe I finished this book so quickly, but I CAN believe it because it was so damn GOOD! Alex Carter is back again looking to protect another endangered species. And almost getting herself killed in the process. These books make me yell, out loud, very often. Jaguars, racism, murder, human and animal sacrifice, heroism. Please, when is the next book coming? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Narrowboat Summer | Anne Youngson

Having read and loved Meet Me at the Museum, I was already prepared to love this novel. The same gentle style of writing draws you in like a warm blanket. It‘s not that tough issues aren‘t tackled. They are, but matter of factly. This is about 3 women who bond together through a narrowboat and each needing a fresh start. Their personal growth and growing friendship lead to the book‘s hope filled conclusion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Broken Fields | Marcie R. Rendon

Another stellar installment in the Cash Blackbear mystery series. I love Cash, so much, and in this novel we see her vulnerability and emerging maturity. She‘s still “dangerous”, as one character states, and she probably always will be, but her intuition is still right on and her “visions” serve her well. Murder, foster care, betrayal, racism, family, and so much more. Please, I‘d like another. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jamaica Inn | Daphne Du Maurier
post image
Pickpick

I had only ever read Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel and they are very different novels from Jamaica Inn. Both of the former novels are what we expect from du Maurier, gothic type romance/pseudo ghost stories. Jamaica Inn is more rough and ready and the heroine is more self reliant. It also feels like quite a wild ride. I had guessed at the villain, and was surprised by the, I guess, first ending, but not by the final ending. 5⭐️

It‘s not until near the end of the book that we learn the significance of the title, and it‘s a little disappointing, to be honest. Also, I think the way the author ended the novel is what made me rate it only 4 stars. It was quite abrupt and a bit of a let down and mood breaker. But this was a charming coming of age novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely adore Anjelica Henley. She is a badass but so beautifully human. This is one of my favorite series. How to prove that the wrong man has been convicted of 5 murders that happened 30 years ago? Why is somebody killing again? Better question. Why had they stopped? And why are the victims being buried alive? Such a chilling novel. You won‘t want to put it down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn‘t know what to expect from this book, but I really, really liked it. It reads quickly and is very engaging. Family, love, loyalty, murder, intrigue, shadowy figures, obfuscation. Part way toward the end, I started figuring some things out, but that just added to my reading enjoyment. And there‘s a happy ending. I loved that. This is a terrific book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Suelizbeth @mcipher “He was good”? I think she was so relieved that her instincts about him were true that she understood why he stayed away. Now that it could all be proved, he was finally free to return. Something like that, I think? 2mo

Why do I feel manipulated? This Alex Delaware mystery was a head scratcher. Seemingly unrelated murders. Frustrating amounts of time spent coming to the conclusion that they were murders. Alex Delaware predictably magics the solution. The ending was a bit of a let down and a puzzle and were we deliberately left thinking that there was more to this than what we are told? Or is that just a ploy? Despite that I enjoyed the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have very rarely read an Armand Gamache novel that didn‘t deserve a full five stars, and this one is no exception. Even though it clearly leads into the next one, it‘s not such a terrible cliff hanger, and I only have to wait until October. The theme of this book, domestic terrorism, is scarier than some horror books I‘ve read, because it feels so very plausible. Louise Penny is a master story teller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nothing in this novel is what it seems. Are there ghosts? Maybe. Are there murderers? Maybe. Is everyone lying? Maybe. A husband and wife in a snowstorm in Scotland in a place called Blackwater. What could go wrong? I‘m sure you know the answer to that. I also loved the semi-epistolary insertions. Alice Feeney delivers a chilling story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wanted to like this book more, but it just felt like a cheesy imitation of a Raymond Chandler novel, from the dialogue to the action to the characters. I didn‘t like any of them. I was probably meant to sympathize with Addison, but she‘s just not a sympathetic character. The plot got stretched a little too thin for my taste and there were too many gotcha moments. I still don‘t know who to believe on some of them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOW! This book! I don‘t know where to begin. This is certainly not your typical haunted house tale. And I really didn‘t expect to laugh hysterically at the end. That being said, this is not at all a funny book. It‘s horrifying and gory and bloody and mystifying. Unreliable narrator is an understatement and actually does the narrator a disservice. You‘ll have to read it to find out for yourself what is real and what is reality.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well that was not the ending I expected. It was probably the only way it could end, but I was hoping for something else. I can‘t say that I really liked any of the characters, but it made for a much more interesting story. An island , an artist, her muse(?), an art curator, a wealthy family, murder, the truth masterfully unraveled. This is a subtly chilling novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From cover to cover, you have to admire the layout and the illustrations. Subtitled, Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World is the text. The writer acknowledges that we have to have some consumerism to pay the bills, but that if we combine that with a gift economy, we will live in an infinitely better world. The Serviceberry is the example of the gift economy used throughout. Robin Wall Kimmerer is our collective conscience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a must read. Told from the perspective of the dolls of different generations within a family of Indigenous women, this novel is about “Indian” boarding schools and the damage they have done and continue to do. It is about generational trauma and the healing power of ancestral wisdom. Community is powerful. Identity is powerful. Respect is powerful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If I were a Fredrik Backman fan, I‘m sure I would find this short story hilarious. It has that potential. Unfortunately, I am not a fan, and the absurdity of this short story is merely annoying.

Secret societies create unhealthy environments. They look glamorous on the surface, but there‘s an ugly worm in the center.

This has got to be one of the best Ruth Galloway mysteries, yet. Have we reached the end? It feels like it, but I think that‘s OK. There‘s a murder to solve, of course, but, personally, I was more interested in the involvements of all of the characters that I have come to love. No spoilers, but that ending had me bawling.
