A slow-paced, atmospheric read that‘s a blend of character studies and a bit of mystery.

1. No physical library, just books on shelves and wall units and tables and sometimes the floor. Maybe 100. I‘m on vacation or I would go count.
2. Wild Dark Shore was amazing!

pickDominic and his three children have lived on a small isolated island near Antarctica. They are finishing up some work and await the boat that will come for them in 6 weeks. But then a mysterious woman is found near their shore. As she is rescued and begins to heal, she discovers that the family may be keeping some secrets. Atmospheric and haunting, this story takes some unexpected turns and keeps the reader on edge. Engrossing reading.
Moody sock and a broody read. Very good, suspenseful, characters you want to root for.
pickWild Dark Shore is likely to provoke some climate anxiety in sensitive souls. Even if the climate anxiety doesn‘t get you, the traumas the characters are reckoning with will. This book has A+ nature writing, and a fascinating premise, but it‘s a huge bummer, overall. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/wild-dark-shore-charlotte-mcconaghy/
pickThis is such an amazing book! I've recommended it so many times at my library, and everyone has enjoyed it.
It's dark, it's emotional, it's mysterious, and it's a novel that only Charlotte McConaghy could write.
I have loved all her other books, and this one did not disappoint.

I finished 3 great books this week but the tagged gets all the stars. I usually am hopeful that the summer #CampLitsy books are new to me but I think I‘d love this one to win a slot so I can reread it and discuss.
