My book beginnings is taken from THE BOOK OF SUMMER by Michelle Gable:
"Rumor has it the quintessential Nantucket manse known as Cliff House is days from falling into the ocean. A heartbreak, to be sure. It's the only original and complete pre-1978 building left on the northernmost half of Baxter Road."

The Book of Summer sounds good...and I am also eager to read the Karen White, which I now have, and I Found You, which has been on my stacks for a while.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “WOMAN NO. 17”
ENJOY them all when you read them.

ReplyDeleteI hope you love the similar ones we have.
DeleteThanks for stopping, Catherine.
Only pre-1978 house? That makes me wonder what's going on. It reveals the setting, but not much about the characters or the plot.
ReplyDeleteIt was good.
DeleteIt was about the Codman family and the summer house that has been in the family for a hundred years. The house and land was being eroded by the ocean, and the last surviving female doesn't want to give up the house.
I enjoyed the books.
Thanks for stopping, Roberta.
The Book of Summer arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Glad to see you enjoyed it. I won't be reading it for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt was good.
DeleteMy only complaint was the small, handwriten font on the parts that contained excerpts from the memory book they kept in the house. :)
I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. LOL!!
Thanks for stopping, Mary.
Oh, thanks for the heads up!!
