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 (July2019) 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.

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 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.
