The Bright Unknown

Release day: October 22, 2019

I read The Solace of Water earlier this year and was really impressed by this authors writing. This book sounds really good too.

September Wrap Up

It was a slow month for me. Only three books read. They were all pretty enjoyable, though. I'm looking forward to really kicking my fall reading into high gear in October.

A Curious Beginning

This book generated a lot of discussion on the Modern Mrs. Darcy book club site. I mostly enjoyed it. The main character was plucky and intelligent. She was also very annoying and overly chatty. It took me a while to get used to her personality. I also had issues with the resolution of the mystery. I'm not sure if I will continue with the series or not.

The Solace of Water

This book was very heavy. It covered pretty much every sad topic there is: depression, self harm, child death, alcoholism, family dysfunction. I'm probably forgetting a few. It was very well done, and full of hope. I would recommend it if you are okay with heavier literature that deal with sadder themes.


At First Glance

This was a contemporary romance. It was a quick read with a good message about accepting yourself.  I really enjoyed it and I'll probably pick up more by this author in the future. Recommended if you enjoy contemporary romance.
