Two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town. Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three troubled girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into Sparrow's harbor and pulling them under.

ItsAnotherJen Sounds like a great October book! Did you like it? 6y

A story about survival, the struggle and perseverance of the women of the native tribe of Alaska interwoven with the story of a white woman in the 1980's who has followed a man to Alaska and is trying to find some meaning in her own life. A well written and engrossing read.

The Brain, the Beauty, The Criminal, the Athlete, & the Outcast are all in detention. One of them doesn't make it out of detention alive. Four of these characters bond together to figure out what happened. Really kept my attention. Great weekend read!

Lonesome Dove: A Novel | Larry McMurtry

I do not typically read this genre, but a podcast I listen to recommended it. It is a hefty novel at 945 pages, but held my interest throughout. Great characterization and well written. I might just have to read the sequel as well!

This book was so great all the way through, but the ending left me disappointed. Still worth reading though.

The Way the Crow Flies | Ann-Marie MacDonald

This book had so many elements. It is set during the cold war at a military base in Canada. There is a murder and a military secret and abuse that you would never guess would affect each other, but they do. It is a story about how far families will go to protect each other. Great read!

The bell begins to toll and all eyes are fixed on the church. No one sees the gloved hands holding a garrote. As the last notes fade into the dark, a woman lies dead. I really enjoyed this book, I might have to read more from this author.
