Welcome to Litsy!

Finally got to my November #TravelingThrills book 😂 I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It's not super fast-paced - definitely more suspense than thriller - but I liked the MC so much that I didn't mind. The back and forth between past and present chapters felt balanced and even though there were some aspects of the grand reveal that left me scratching my head a bit (a side character's motivations/methods seemed like a bit of stretch), I'll still be ⬇

The descriptive language used painted a beautiful picture of the wilderness and all that comes with it. It seemed to me that the author has a lot of knowledge about the area and the type of life lived by the characters. I also liked the idea of the dual timeline, bringing the past and the present together. The plot was such a slow burn; nothing thrilling happened until the novel was almost over, making it more of a drama and less of a thriller.

I received the books from you today, Sarah. 💜 AND I got the others sent to you, Denise. 🩷 @TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon

I'm hoping to finish TNOD today, then hopefully move on to The Husbands, but that's only if my brain cooperates. I might have to reread something I've read a bajillion times instead. #interestingtimes

It's supposed to freeze tonight so my hubby cut our last roses of the year.

Saturday morning reading 😊

I just finished this book and absolutely loved it! I would love to see more of Emlyn and Varden but it's also tied up in a way that doesn't leave you hanging.

#whereareyoumonday is in the wilds of Idaho tracking, fishing, hiking, escaping from bad guys. It's a real trek!

Set in the wilderness of Idaho, Emlyn‘s present unfurls intermixed with her past & the complicated relationships that have resurfaced when her estranged best friend seems to have disappeared into the wild. Though she has rebuilt her life after a traumatic breakup, when her ex asks for help finding Janessa, Emlyn feels like she has no choice but to go along. While the segments in the past slow the pacing a bit, I still couldn‘t put this one down!

The Nature of Disappearing

The author of THESE SILENT WOODS has written another unforgettable story. In this one you will get lost in the wilderness. Go fly fishing in freezing cold rivers. Find a true forever friend. Fall in love. In real love...

This book was not what I thought it would be. I could not connect with what the book was saying. It turned out to be quite boring so I could not even finish reading it. I heard her other books were good so I thought I would try it. I don‘t think it‘s her writing that is so bad, I think the subject matter is the main item. Some people I noticed did like the book.

I think the core of the story may have been there — a woman goes into the forest w/ her ex to search for her friend who may have disappeared under suspicious circumstances — but there was just a lot keeping me from really liking this. I wanted less chapters about Emlyn‘s past (many didn‘t move the plot forward), more suspense & mystery (I loved the few moments where they popped up), and better research done on subjects such as tracking & Oxy use.
