Thank you, @CSeydel for this #WorstRead 2024 #BookBracket.

This book just wasn‘t for me and I LOVE cozy mysteries. I didn‘t like any of the characters and I just didn‘t care for the story.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I love this graphic. I might need to keep track of my worst books this year… 🤣 (edited) 4d

#12booksof2024 @Andrew65

This is a quietly powerful novel in stories following the residents of a small Maine town, their secret hopes and fears, the ordinariness of their daily lives and their major turning points. Beautiful read and my second of the year that I owe to #Europacollective

CBee I meant to tell you that I asked for this for Christmas and got it 😊👏🏻 1w

GatheringBooks I really enjoyed this one. Felt like each chapter was a stand alone episode in a series. I just bought the second novel in the series 3h
CSeydel @GatheringBooks It really did. I look forward to reading that one too! 3h

Solid first book launching the Mike Bowditch series. Set in Maine, Bowditch works as a game warden. One morning he gets a call that he‘s father‘s been arrested, accused of killing two people. Bowditch doesn‘t believe it for a minute and sets out, even when faced with the unrelenting criticism of people he knows, to prove his father‘s innocence. Secrets & lies & the past collide in this well-written mystery. I‘ll continue with the series.

CaitlinR I love Doiron‘s books. His new one, Pitch Dark, is great but it‘s fun to read them in order. 1mo
TracyReadsBooks @CaitlinR I‘m definitely excited to read more. I always read in order because I like to see how the characters develop. It‘s great to know his new one is good! 1mo

Anna Pigeon is working on 2 cases and getting beat up in the process. 1 is the murder of an abusive man (and he didn‘t go down easily and 2 is the cyber stalking of a friend‘s teenager. Fairly fast paced and entertaining but I had difficulty in believing the craziness of one individual 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am so glad I‘m reading this before reading her new novel. I love it and now I am going to have to read Lucy Barton again and the following Lucy books. I have read “Olive Again”. I did not know they had been mentioned in Lucy Barton. Her characters and family relationships are fascinating. This book is reminding me of “Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant” though so far.

…and everyone wanted to be Allison‘s best friend. But for some reason, she chose Jane, the nerd, the new girl, the one who reads novels at the bus stop before school because she liked reading novels, but also because she hoped it might disguise the fact of how alone she was 📚

That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet 🌙

I'm not sure how I missed reading this novel, having read all the others. After reading Tell Me Everything, I went back & read this. The characters development is a mark of the author's strong writing and this novel didn't disappoint. The Burgess siblings don't have great relationships & have drifted apart as adults. Yet they are connected to each other through their shared sad childhood, so when Susan's son Zach gets into trouble they reconnect.

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.

sarahbarnes A sequel to this one just came out! 2mo
