The Day Tripper
The Day Tripper: A Novel
by James Goodhand
A Wrinkle In Time (1/1/2024)
This book is a refreshing look at time travel. You will find yourself advocating for the main characters.
The Witches at the End of the World
The Witches at the End of the World
by Chelsea Iversen
A Great Debut (9/17/2023)
The bond of sisters with a touch of magic can never be underestimated.
The evolution of both characters was enjoyable to read.
The Gifts
The Gifts: A Novel
by Liz Hyder
Angels and a Demon (4/5/2023)
It was a slow start but stay the course. The author's well thought-out evolution of the story is thought provoking. Touching on feminism, nature, religion, and science in a time when women had little choices, opportunities or the ability to question authority.
Homestead
Homestead: A Novel
by Melinda Moustakis
A Great Debut (2/5/2023)
The subject of the book homesteading in Alaska in the 1950s had my interest. This is a well written debut about courage, endurance, and knowing your limits and strengths as well as discovering your partner 's. Marie and Lawrence build a life and a history together in the wilds of Alaska. This is a great read for a book club!
The God of Endings
The God of Endings: A Novel
by Jacqueline Holland
Nature vs Nurture - Who Do We Choose To Be In This Lifetime And The Next (10/26/2022)
A pinch of Anne Rice with a peck of Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian".
Great suggestion for a book club.
Exiles
Exiles: Aaron Falk Mystery #3
by Jane Harper
Enjoy a good mystery... read Exiles by Jane Harper! (8/28/2022)
A great read set in the land down under. I enjoyed the pace of the book as well as the introduction of characters and their relationships to each other over time. In addition never having been to Australia, Harper paints a great visual for the reader. She puts the individual pieces of the puzzle on the page for the reader to assemble.
