pickThis has a lot going on! There‘s history, a love story, a death mystery, and the paranormal. Kate returns to her parents‘ home on the lake to recover from her marriage recently ending. She finds a woman‘s body that has washed upon the shore. Once the police arrive, they discover the woman is wearing a vintage nightgown and wrapped within is an infant. No one knows the identity of the woman.

so-soI didn‘t like this one as much as the first two, though that little porcupine was cute! I‘m not sure why this one didn‘t hold my interest as well as the first two in the series, but I did lose focus a few times. (Note: I was not listening to an audio, so can‘t blame it on that.) I will continue the series, however
pickIf not because of #TBRtarot I would not have chanced upon this book or author. A well-written, delightful story of four girls who turned a run-down cottage into their summer play house. I enjoyed the nice humour, and the way the girls are portrayed..reminds us of the simple joys of growing up. Published in 1904, it‘s old fashioned but sweet.

The End of Temperance Dare by Wendy Webb is a good fit for those seeking a haunting and atmospheric mystery that delves into family secrets and the eerie sins of the past.
When Eleanor Harper becomes the director of a renowned artists‘ retreat, she knows nothing of Cliffside Manor‘s dark past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, a “waiting room for death.”
I have no problem reading three books at once as long as they are all different genres. #Education #Horror #Poetry #bookstagram
pickThis story was set during the summer but with those fall vibes of haunted place. Brynn was in a grief process and was invited by a friend to spend the summer in Wharton. But there were rumors that the place she decided to stay, is haunted. As a expected Brynn started to feel, see and hear things which seem to be connected with her present and probably other lives.
What I like about this author is that her stories are so atmospheric ⬇️
I had read all Peter Geye‘s books and didn‘t know this one existed until someone on Litsy ( I can‘t remember who said this one was her favorite.). I concur, I loved it! September reading wrap up. Other highlights: The Collected Regrets of Clover and When Women Were Dragons.
May 12 #MayMontage Read in the Storm. I don't have any recommendations for any book read in a storm, but I do have a song from a Canadian icon who passed away last week. I grew up with Gordon Lightfoot singing in our living room. I was sad to hear he was gone. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickWe get a lot of Jenny, Cork‘s oldest daughter, in this book. When Cork is asked to find a missing girl, Jenny feels drawn to this case, even having a vision (not usual for her) about it, and insists on being a part of it. The world of this case is dark and sad, but we meet a new character, Daniel, who I like and hope he stays around. I‘ve yet to be disappointed in this series, although one book upset me. #audiowalk
It was such a beautiful day today— not too hot and with a lovely breeze. Jenny is getting her first real taste of following a case all the way in this installment of the Cork O‘Connor series. #audiowalk
