Elen - Have you started the book? I started last night. I hoped to get farther. But was too sleepy and only listened to the first 5 chapters. I am finding it interesting. The characters are interesting. Writing is good too. (view spoiler)[ Haze Major was a real jerk to Stevie! I do like how the book alternates from the past to the present. (hide spoiler)]

How are you liking the mystery?

Great, Elen! I will start tonight for sure. And should be ready to discuss the first few chapters tomorrow.

No. I did not know. Probably won’t be able to participate. I’ll be on vacation. And overcommitted on other buddy reads. One buddy Read was postponed a week because everyone needs time to catch up!

Hubby and I are going on vacation for a few days. Mackinac Island in Michigan. I am really looking forward to it! The island does not allow motorized vehicles. So only horse drawn carriages, bikes and walking are allowed. I may be a bit MIA. But I will get some reading in during the evenings!

Thanks! Yes, the great thing about Mackinac is that no motorized vehicles are allowed. So horse drawn carriages, biking and walking are the only mode of transport.

Ok. Next Sunday works!

Laura, I tried Others series. But gave up after book 2. Funny thing is I keep eyeing Lake Silence. I guess I don’t know when to give up! LOL That’s funny about Parting Shot.

One book I read recently that was really good isSomething in the Water. It was a slow burn psychological thriller that I got very immersed in. I know you both like that type of book. So I highly recommend! Another book to add to your very long list. LOL

How’s the reading going? Did you finally read that book you borrowed 5 times? LOL

Brooke wrote: "Geri, are you still good to start this Sunday or Monday?"

Hubby and I are going on vacation for a few days. Mackinac Island in Michigan. I can’t wait! If next week works better for everyone, I am fine with that!

(view spoiler)[ That was a crazy ride! Such an intense ending! Melvin Royal was such a psychopathic maniac. Chilling and thank goodness he can no longer get to Connor. Sam did come through in the end! (hide spoiler)]
