#setinyourcountry is easy. #setinyourcity is surprisingly difficult (I know because I had trouble finding anything that looked remotely appealing to me for the read harder challenge of within 100 miles of where you live). Mom bought this book by a local author, but said it was so awful she actually DNF. 😳I'm hoping to find an alternative for the challenge. We don't always agree, but she rarely DNFs, and I trust her judgement. #readjanuary
carrieonwayward Are you looking for something based near Charlotte? 8y
DGRachel @carrieonwayward Yes! The only other books I could find were either nonfiction or book #3 or later of a series by Kathy Reichs. Since this is for a challenge and my TBR is already out of control, I didn't want to have to read two extra books just to get to #3 and I hate reading series out of order. 😳 8y
carrieonwayward @DGRachel - see if you can find Dry Grass of August by Anna Jean Mayhew. I read it several years ago, it takes place in Charlotte in the 1950s. A little bit in the same vein as The Help, although not as good. It wasn't a GREAT book, but it was alright. 8y

bookwrm526 For set within 100 miles of you, you might try this one, set in Columbia SC....I think that's about 85 miles from Charlotte? 8y
The Resurrectionist: A Novel
