AmandaBlaze Dark Halloween, a flash fiction anthology. 12mo

BoleyBooks @AmandaBlaze is it good so far? 🤓 12mo

AmandaBlaze Some are really good. However, a lot resort to gore to get their point home. I usually read kids‘ Halloween books in between as a palate cleanser. 12mo

BoleyBooks @AmandaBlaze good idea 👍 an occasional switch up is needed. Happy Reading! 😊 12mo

November 1975, ten-year-old Miranda Larkin comes home from school to find her house eerily quiet. Her mother is missing. Nothing else is out of place. There is no sign of struggle. Her mom's pocketbook remains in the front hall, in its usual spot. So begins a mystery that will span a lifetime. What happened to Jane Larkin?

EadieB What happened to Jane Larkin? Investigators suspect Jane's husband. A criminal defense attorney, Dan Larkin would surely be an expert in outfoxing the police. But no evidence is found linking him to a crime, and the case fades from the public's memory, a simmering, unresolved riddle. Jane's three children--Alex, Jeff, and Miranda--are left to be raised by the man who may have murdered their mother. 1y

EadieB Two decades later, the remains of Jane Larkin are found. The investigation is awakened. The children, now grown, are forced to choose sides. With their father or against him? Guilty or innocent? And what happens if they are wrong? A tale about family--family secrets and vengeance, but also family love--All That Is Mine I Carry With Me masterfully grapples with a primal question: When does loyalty reach its limit? 1y

EadieB I have read Defending Jacob and was looking forward to reading a new book by William Landay. I was not disappointed and found his book to be very interesting. The characters were very believable and real. The plot was one that took me through the book quickly as I had to find out what happened to Jane Larkin. The ending was a twist that I did not see coming and I think you need to read this book and find out what happened to Joan. 1y

Defending Jacob: A Novel | William Landay

So, because I didn‘t finish this for 2020 (I only got 50 pages in), I started it over again yesterday so that it‘ll be book 1 of 2021. I‘m 300 pages in, I‘m enthralled, and I can ABSOLUTELY see Chris Evans being amazing as Andy. (Of course, I love him always, but Andy is simultaneously right in his wheelhouse and also against type and I love a good divergence. Can‘t wait to finish the book so I can watch the series!) #defendingjacob #williamlanday

I definitely want to watch the series at some point (duh, love of my life Chris Evans AND my princess Michelle Dockery!!), but I wanted to read the book first. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #defendingjacob #williamlanday

An emotion is a thought, yes, an idea, but it is also a sensation, an ache in your body. Desire, love, hate, fear, repulsion - you feel these things in your muscle and bones, not just in your mind.

Defending Jacob was a good book with many interesting quotes.
