8. We Are the Light by Matthew Quick. Written in epistolary format, powerful story deals with community, grief, healing, and hope. Very well written!
So behind on listing what I've read!9. The Gifts by Liz Hyder. This is a sort of historical fiction/fantasy. Contains some dark, difficult moments, strong female characters.
10. It's One of Us by J.T. Ellison. I really enjoy J. T. Ellison's thrillers, very well written!
11. The All of It by Jeannette Haien. Read this one with my book group. I loved the structure of this novel - it's small put powerful!
12. The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. Loved this book - it was magical! I'll be rereading this treasure!
13. The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington by Brad Meltzer. Interesting history book with a great narrative style. Enjoyed learning new to me information about George Washington's time.
14. The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth. This was so well written - I enjoyed the characters, the setting, and the mystery. Honestly did not want to stop reading this one, the story just grabbed me right from the beginning. I'll be looking for more by this author!

The Gifts was a struggle for me.
I loved The Wishing Game! It was just so wholesome and sweet and gave me all the warm fuzzies!
I enjoyed parts of The Soulmate but it wasn't my favorite Hepworth.
Elyse, The Soulmate was my first book by Hepworth. I would love a recommendation if you have others you've enjoy by her!The Gifts was a struggle for me also. I agreed to read it for review and wish I hadn't, lol!

The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law were really good and I also really enjoyed her non-thriller The Secrets of Midwives.

Wonderful! Thank you!
16. Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim. Read this one with a book club. Nice paced rom-com, fun summer read.
Mod
That sounds like such a cute book!
17. We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves [by [author:Karen Joy Fowler|1448]. This was a difficult read for this animal lover but such a powerful message. Looking forward to reading more books by Karen Joy Fowler.18. The New Neighbor by Karen Cleveland. A fun espionage-domestic thriller. Fast paced, will keep the reader turning the pages!
19. The Bookstore Sisters by Alice Hoffman.20. The Braid by Laetitia Colombani.
21. The Bird Hotel by Joyce Maynard.
22. The House on Biscayne Bay by Chanel Cleeton.
23. What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall.

I picked this up from PangoBooks a few months ago to meet a discount quota. I've only read one of her books so far, I Am Still Alive, and I really enjoyed it.
It wasn't a five star read for me but it was good enough that I added her new pub, No One Can Know, to my BOTM. Enjoy!
