Solo parent date day comprised of zombie films and used bookstores and old haunts from our 20s ❤️
so-soThis is a shorter book, & I borrowed it from my friend‘s LFL. I just didn‘t get into the storyline on this one, but others may love it. A widow is dealing with grief after her husband dies, then has 2 different events going on—being drawn into helping an undocumented Mexican couple and searching for a missing sister with her other sisters. I‘m still going to read another Alvarez book, i just didn‘t love this one. 3⭐️
Always a decade late getting to the bestselling books but this one is definitely feeling suitable. I would appreciate all the thoughts just no spoilers😉

so-soI chose this book bc I‘m a big Kristin Hannah fan. I didn‘t realize it was a follow up book to Firefly Lane. While I think Hannah did a great job giving backstory, it took@quite a while for me to connect to these characters. Most likely bc I didn‘t read Firefly Lane. While I found this book a big corny, I really enjoyed it. Very much tear jerker type book (if you need a good cry).
Today‘s find 25 cents ! Sometimes this one bears the title Murder After Hours
pickI ended up devouring this in a day, which I suppose is fitting given that‘s the timeframe in which the book takes place. I enjoyed the way this was structured: alternating chapters between present-day and flashbacks, gradually fleshing out our MC and her story, all told in 2nd person, addressed to her soon-to-be-born child. While the choices Annie made generally stressed me out (Stay where you are! Stop trekking your 9-months-pregnant self ⤵️
pickA novel about the “impoverished semi-gentry of a country village, consisting of cantankerous parents and frustrated adult children… Each family quarrels with itself in the same laconic and polite way”. That quote from an early review sums up the plot perfectly. It seems to have a more wry feel to it than many of our other #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub reads (and one of the best descriptions of an awkward tea party ever 😆).
I enjoyed it!

The #ShardlakeBR is beginning our LAST book in the series. I can't believe it! We'll be on the merry ol' island of England surrounded by water on all sides! It looks like a lot of time will be spent in the Northfolk area, bordering the North Sea on the east. The North Sea reminds me of Wart (King Arthur) learning to fly as a goose (thanks to Merlyn's magic) over the North Sea with Lyo-Lyok. Love that book! 🌊
