A stand-alone title from Strout’s that takes readers into the past when a newly qualified minister and his young wife move to a small village in Maine. Disaster strikes the minister’s young family, leaving them in turmoil. Rumors spread through the village and the minister’s future seems uncertain. This is an engaging story about community, faith, friendship, love, families, and life.

Somewhat interesting and entertaining, but I didn’t like it as much as her other books.

A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is a fast-paced, clever blend of time travel and mystery that had me hooked from the start. When modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson wakes up in Victorian Scotland, trapped in another woman’s body, she’s forced to use her 21st-century skills to solve a chilling murder. I loved the mix of historical setting, suspenseful twists, and strong characters. It’s smart, gripping, and just plain fun. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.

Dual time line story set in 1920's and the present. Fascinating novel about the stealing of eggs from the nests of shore birds to sell to collectors. Well drawn characters and suspenseful. I knew nothing about this so-called "hobby". Warning: You will feel badly for the birds.

edge of my seat even though this is my third time through the series. Aelin is absolutely iconic

Spent is a brilliant and funny graphic novel. Alison and her wife have purchased a goat farm in Vermont. At the same time, her wife becomes an internet celebrity, Alison is trying work on her next book but keeps getting distracted. Friends who live in a nearby coop are experimenting with polyamory. Climate change, and current political movements underscore the whole story.

It was so interesting I could not but the book down read it 5 hours in a row

Inappropriate for little kids but entertaining

In keeping with the-looking-at-a-familiar-story through a different lens, this offering to the genre does not disappoint. It is not always a pleasant read, but definitely a good one.

I haven’t gotten that far, I’m on chapter 4. It’s pretty good so far and definitely better than the movie. There is more information, as I would hope, and explains the characters more.
