We are headed to Maine next month! I‘m so excited and of course I want to read books set in Maine. Fiction, nonfiction, memoir—> send them my way!
I‘m planning to read:
Empire Falls
The Berry Pickers
The Road to Dalton
Landslide (Susan Conley)
What else should I read?

Night of the Living Rezmonkeygirlsmama Have fun! It looks so beautiful. Jon and I were supposed to have been moving there with our youngest this summer after she graduates. I'll most likely never even visit now. *sad panda* 💔💙 1mo

This Other Edenvlwelser I live near there. And I'm reading The Berry Pickers rn. Stephen King books are also often set in Maine (eg It). Because that's where he's from. 1mo
vlwelser This should keep you busy. 😂 1mo
JamieArc My family lives there so we visit often and love it there. The Nubble lighthouse is a common place to visit. This was a great audio.The Midcoast: A Novel 1mo

A Piece of the Worldvivastory My mind immediately went to Stephen King, but I'm guessing that's not what you're looking for 1mo

vlwelser I am literally on chapter 2 of Berry Pickers. I was trying to finish The Bee Sting before diving in. 1mo
Chelsea.Poole @JamieArc lovely that you get to visit often. This will be my first time..I‘ve always wanted to go. I‘ll keep in mind the lighthouse you mentioned. Thanks! Also, I LOVED Midcoast! Such a great read. I‘d love to find something similar. (edited) 1mo
Susanita There‘s a woman from Maine in my book club who recommends mysteries by Sarah Graves. 1mo
JamieArc @Chelsea.Poole The Nubble lighthouse is the one pictured at the top center. If you are in York and you go to the coast, you‘re almost certain to see it. 1mo
vivastory Salem's Lot is one of my favorite King books. It was recently the 50th anniversary of King's debut, Carrie, which is set in Maine. This one holds a special place in my heart as it started me reading King steadily. Another classic King set in Maine: Pet Sematary. 1mo
TheKidUpstairs I was about to recommend one, and then realized I'd read it because of your recommendation! 🤣🤣🤣The Midcoast: A Novel 1mo
The Midcoast: A NovelChelsea.Poole @JamieArc wonderful! Thank you! 1mo
