We Have Always Lived In The Castle
by Shirley Jackson
View in Library Catalog
This is a haunting tale about the few remaining remnants of a family after a mass murder. But a mass murder committed by Whom? And way do they remain so secluded only to embrace the presence of an obscure relative? This story wonderfully raised more questions than it answers.
Later
by Stephen King
View in Library Catalog
A wonderfully told story by a man who can see and talk to dead people as he looks back over the defining moments of his young life. A must read for all horror and King fans.
Happy Place

Slower than other EH books.
The Hotel Nantucket

A wonderful book
Dear Santa
by Debbie Macomber
View in Library Catalog
Not sure I would like reading a Christmas book in July but turns out I did enjoy this one. It was light on the Christmas stuff, except for Santa; Santa plays a pivotal role here, especially letters written to him…even if they are not mailed! While it had the plot right out of a Hallmark movie channel production, it was well done and I liked the development of the characters.
The Lost Coast
by Jonathan & Jesse Kellerman
View in Library Catalog
This is one of those books you can read more than once because there is a lot going on and there are parts of it I still am not clear on. An investigator is hired to check on large payments that were made by the client’s late aunt. The investigation uncovers more than initially suspected and reveals a well-crafted web of deceit. A good book but I feel like I missed some things.
This Too Shall Pass
by Milena Busquets
View in Library Catalog
While the writing was not terrible, the trouble is that while the author had a lot to say, there really is no story here. A 40-year-old woman loses her mother and is so distraught that she cannot get beyond it. The setting is Spain and all the character talks about is seducing men. The only interesting part was the epilog which was very articulate and summed up thing well.
The Bright Years
by Sarah Damoff
View in Library Catalog
A very emotional book about family, reminding us that no family is perfect. I loved every character and empathized with them through their pain and heartache. A powerful debut, can't wait to read more from this author.
Birding With Benefits
by Sarah T. Dubb
View in Library Catalog
Adorable nerdy romance. I cannot wait for more from this author.
Dead Sleep
by Greg Iles
View in Library Catalog
In this story about women who go missing and then have their dead images appear in paintings, Isles does an excellent job in developing the characters and their connections to one another. And this is important because the subject matter here is often harsh and without this development of characters, it would simply be a brutal story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and liked the ending.
