pickNonfiction - published in 2011. Candace Fleming‘s exploration of the infamous Amelia Earhart — her extraordinary accomplishments, doomed final flight, and modern legacy — proves to readers that history can be as thrilling as fantasy, as suspenseful as mystery, and as interesting as the best of fiction.
This is my current #litsylove set up. I've got a good size stack of mail to respond to, but I also have a lot of time this week. Going to try to make a dent in it 🤞😜
pickWhen his brother Aidan goes missing for days and reappears in the attic telling a strange story about where he's been, Lucas doesn't know what to believe. The truth doesn't seem possible, but nothing else makes sense either.
This was an introspective story about family and faith.

Just wrapping up my #ScarathlonSprint for today. I finished the tagged book and finally started the pictured witchy book. It's so good so far I'm not planning on getting up any time soon. I can't disturb the kitties anyway 🤷🏼♀️

pickI quite enjoyed this Aussie novel that reminds me of The Virgin Suicides, one of my fave coming of age books.
Sisters Tikka & Laura are friends with their neighbors, the three Van Apfel sisters. Mr. VA is a Jehovah‘s Witness and tries to force his religion on his daughters (including physical abuse), but middle sister Cordelia is especially rebellious. Years after the girls disappear, Tikka and Laura are still trying to figure out what happened.
pickSecond time reading this. I didn't remember anything about it from reading it nearly 10 years ago. This time I listened to the audiobook, which was good. I am a big Laura Lippman fan.

I listened to The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S. after my son read it. When Aidan returns from being missing for six days, only his brother, Lucas, believes his outlandish tale. Because the novel doesnt delve deep into the disappearance, the intriguing set-up ultimately leads to disappointment. It's a quick-read with a simple story and sweet, underdeveloped characters. Overall, unreached potential is an apt description. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis book had me hooked right from the start. It got pretty ridiculous at times but the twists and turns kept me reading. It was an easy read, and pretty short, which helped. 👍🏻👍🏻
pick8-5-22: My 75th finished book of 2022! Bambi and Felix meet in 1959. They start a beautiful family of 3 daughters. Over time, Julie becomes a fixture in Felix‘s life, too. Then one day, Felix disappears leaving these 5 women to grieve. In 1986 there is a murder that is never solved until 26 years later a consultant for the Baltimore police opens the cold case. Told from 1959-2012 by all character‘s perspectives. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣7️⃣5️⃣
