Had to skip posting in August. I moved, and things got complicated. I’ve also been reading a bunch of electronic ARCS on Netgalley!

  • Very Valentine, by Adriana Trigiani
  • The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein
  • The Peacock Summer, by Hannah Richell (July 2, 2019) Deeply forgettable. Did not finish.
  • Gravity is the Thing, by Jaclyn Moriarty (July 2019) Couldn’t get into it. Did not finish.
  • The Hotel Neversink, by Adam O’Fallon Price (Aug. 6, 2019)
  • The Perfect Wife, by JP Delaney (Aug. 6, 2019) Very creepy, full of mystery and misdirection.
  • The Devil’s Slave, by Tracy Borman (September 3, 2019)
  • The Last Train to London, by Meg Waite Clayton (September 2019) I tried, I did, I’m just really off Holocaust stories right now.
  • The Nanny, by Gilly MacMillan (September 2019)
  • The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution, by Eric Foner (September 2019)
  • Lies in White Dresses, by Sofia Grant (September 2019) Sweet, but seems to have felt the need to cram in ALL THE SCANDALS. Probably won’t remember it after a few weeks.
  • Country, by Michael Hughes (October 2019) An interesting read, superimposing the Iliad onto a story of Irish vs. English fighting in the mid-1990s.
  • The In-Betweens: The Spiritualists, Mediums, and Legends of Camp Etna, by Mira Ptacin (October 2019)
  • The House of Brides, by Jane Cockram (October 2019)
  • If Only I Could Tell You, by Hannah Beckerman (October 2019)
  • A Bitter Feast, by Deborah Crombie (October 2019) I enjoyed this mystery, and intend to go back and read the rest of the series.
  • The Dollmaker, by Nina Allan (October 15, 2019)
  • The Bright Unknown, by Elizabeth Byler Younts (October 22, 2019) A little predictable in some ways, but surprising in others. Distressing imagery of mental asylums in the mid-20th century.
  • The Painted Castle: A Lost Castle Novel, by Kristy Cambron (October 15, 2019)
  • Book of Colours, by Robyn Cadwallader (November 5, 2019)
  • The Other Windsor Girl: A Novel of Love, Royalty, Whiskey, & Cigarettes, by Georgie Blalock (November 2019)
  • The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History, by Kassia St. Clair (November 2019)
  • Invented Lives, by Andrea Goldsmith (November 5, 2019)
  • The Wicked Redhead, by Beatriz Williams (December 2019)
  • The Sacrament, by Olaf Olafsson (December 2019)
  • Oppo, by Tom Rossenstiel (December 2019)
  • The Clergyman’s Wife: A Pride & Prejudice Novel, by Molly Greeley (December 2019)
  • Lux, by Elizabeth Cook (February 2020)
