    Surprised you haven't read Mary Kubica as so many readers have. Not really my genre so I haven't tried her, although maybe I'd be surprised and like a book by her.

      I have heard of her but have never read anything by her until this book.

      I enjoyed the read.

      Thanks for stopping, Kathryn.

    Hi Elizabeth!

    As always, you share the most interesting books! I am keeping The Child in the back of my mind for next month's book club read.... Suggestions are always welcome!

    I've seen The Bookshop at Water's end on another blog as well, guess it's worth looking into.

    Hope you will have a good week!

      The Child had a slow start, but the ending was good.

      I am looking forward to reading The Bookshop at Water's Edge. It looks quite good.

      Thanks for stopping, Mareli.

    It's always surprising and delightful to see what books others are reading and planning to read. I loved Hello, Sunshine.

    You always manage to read both (1) a lot of books and (2) good books. I find that astonishing. Thanks for sharing them with us.

    Isn't The Book of Polly fun! I listened to it on audio and loved the narration. Looks like you're staying very busy. Have a nice week.

    Well I just added a bunch more books to my TBR list. Lol. I am especially intrigued by The Cottingley Secret and The Wildling Sisters. I was all about that fairy story when I was a teenager. I used to collect anything fairy, and have the Pressed Fairy Book. (still do actually)which was based on that story as well.

    I was almost going to say The Break Down was scarier in my opinion, but then I realized that wasn't true. I loved The Break Down, but I could actually read it. I couldn't read her previous book, it scared me too much! So, yes, not as thrilling as the first. Lol.

      You will definitely love THE COTTINGLEY SECRET then. :)

      THE BREAKDOWN didn't have those horrible scenes. I am glad it wasn't as bad as her first book. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS was chilling as I mentioned. I hated Jack.

      What books did you choose to add to your TBR list?

      Thanks for stopping, Erin.
