After reading The House in the Cerulean Sea 2 years ago, I made it a goal to read all of Klune‘s work including his backlog. This one was a self-published novel in 2018 but it‘s being republished in 2025. (I think that‘s the new cover pictured). Anyway, I loved it. I put me heavily in mind of my 80s love of Dean Koontz books & movies where there‘s the government/military after a “special someone” with powers. I mean that in a ⬇️

And headed to Hilo again, this time for an overnight & 2 days of business review. Big fun! 😬

In the lounge waiting to board with the usual coffee & breakfast. I‘m about midway through the tagged book & enjoying it. Trying to get through all of Klune‘s backlist.

A great story that allows the reader to expand their perspective or perhaps relate to the amazing story.

Recommended by a bookseller at Galena Book and Paper, she said it was one of the best books she had read recently and one of the owner's recent favorites. I hadn't heard of it yet, but it was too good of a recommendation to pass up. It's a quiet novel about the residents of a small-town in Maine and a reminder of the complex lives people lead behind their public faces. Beautifully written! I will read whatever this debut author puts out next.

August 1999, Red Knot, Delaware. Michael and his babysitter Gibby meet Ridge who proclaims he‘s the first successful time traveler, from the future. A mix of adventure, friendships, loss, and lessons about ‘being‘ in the moment🧡

Small town Maine, the realities and the blessings, even when the worst happens. Glad I read it.

Here‘s a list of Kindle reads I thought would be good for the month of October.
Look forward to seeing how many I can get through.
