Ron Rash is a local author. This book is set in rural western North Carolina.
Had a lot of trouble with this filter for this picture. It was hard enough finding a filter that fits a book about a woman who plans to commit murder in North Carolina in the 1930s. It has text at the top so I couldn't reverse it so book title is reversed. The filter put a hat on the book cover. And Litsy images get severely cropped when loaded. Anyway, this is a book club book, sounds interesting, and I've enjoyed the first chapter.
I‘m not completely new but I haven‘t been extremely active and I thought this sounded fun! My answers:
1. Indiana, USA 2. Suspense - I like the ones that keep me guessing and surprise me at the end! 3. Serena by Ron Rash 4. Chocolate! 5. Two dachshunds 6. Suggestions for getting more involved with Litsy??? #litsywelcomewagon
Just a few books with #hairthereandeverywhere (ok maybe not quite) on the spines. #anditsaugust
pickFinished this last night! 4/5 even though it took me much longer to read than I expected. It was a slow burn book.
Moving on to SC for the #readingroadtrip
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐: slow burn of a deeply atmospheric book set in the timber business during the depression. Enter an evil female character with hints of MacBeth undertones and you've got this one pegged. #BooksToFilm #CharactersILoveToHate
My #julymostanticipated is going to be starting the Reader's Room #readingroadtrip! Today I'm starting Serena for my NC starting point to the road trip. Such a fun idea! #jubilantjuly
Also snagged a couple more backlist titles to add to my ever-growing TBR stack. #tbr #cantstopwontstop #usedbooks #backlist
pickPowerful, ruthless, jealous Serena Pemberton leads her husbands logging company in the mountains of North Carolina in the 1930s. She won't let anything or anyone stand in the way of her ambition. An iconic villain in American Lit. #LitsyAtoZ
Ok, another Ron Rash novel, and it is not disappointing! I am not a good writer of reviews, but Ron Rash is just a great storyteller. Highly recommend this author. There is no connection between my big, sloppy pup and the story...just love posting him! #dogsoflitsy Also, love my new mini book light from #barringtonbooks !
pickJust discovered the @bookriot February challenge. Today's entry: favorite villain. Serena immediately came to mind. (And I still love this original cover.)

Day 4: Favorite Villain- Serena #riotgrams (The book is so much better than the movie)
I remember reading this a few years back and enjoying the story of a quirky woman who helps her husband run a ranch. I never saw the movie but Jennifer Lawrence was perfectly cast as Serena. On sale today for both Nook and Kindle, $1.99! #ebookdeal
Edit: my "Timehop" app today showed that 3 years ago today I reviewed this book! Freaky!!!!
panAppalachian Literature class is the only reason I made it through this book #englishmajor #somanybooks #appalachianlit
I don't always read with a Buttweiler on my feet. Wait, this just in. Yeah, I do always read with a Buttweiler on my feet. #buttweiler #getlit #ronrashandroll
#somethingforsept #SeptemberPhotoChallenge #villian Serena has one of my favorite literary villains ever!!
So, here's the second stack of four on my nightstand. Lol, I have quite a bit to get to, but I'm not flummoxed about it. How does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time 😊. So, one page at a time it is for me 😎👌🏻. Anything stand out to you, my fellow bibliophile?
Just started "Serena" last night for my book club! My dog Tartt (after author Donna Tartt) has been using it as a headrest. Has anyone else read this?!
Who's your favorite literary villain?
so-so
