Open House by Katie Sise

"A decade ago in upstate New York, art student Emma McCullough walked into the woods and was never seen again. It’s a mystery that still haunts her bucolic university town and her broken family, especially her sister Haley, whose need for closure has become an obsession. But now, finally, the first piece of evidence in the vanishing has been found: Emma’s bracelet, lodged in a frozen piece of earth at the bottom of a gorge. For Emma’s three best college friends, for a beloved former teacher, and for Haley, the chilling trinket is more than a clue in a resurrected cold case. It’s a trigger.

Then a woman is attacked during an open house, and the connections between the two crimes, ten winters apart, begin to surface. So do the secrets that run as deep and dark as the currents in this quiet river town."

Such a surprisingly good read! The dual timeline was fantastic to bring all the characters to life. Thoroughly enjoyed the intrigue and anticipation of learning the truth. SO much to process - family love, friendship love and relationship love. Where is the line? What is trust built upon? What happens when everything changes? So, so good!

January Reading Reflection

As I reflect back on how my 2022 reading year ended, I'm thrilled with the stack that arrived almost by happenstance. Several favorites were not purchased, they were gifted or shared as another's favorite read. I've come to treasure those most of all. Nowadays we're gathered less frequently - and rarely press a book into another reader's hands - yet when one arrives by mail I'm just as thrilled and flattered to be the recipient of such a treasure. Book recommendations are so meaningful, and appreciated. A good friend of mine owns an indie bookstore in Coeur d'Alene, ID and has shared I'd be a great 'hand seller' - one who listens and then finds just the right next read - handing it to them with care. That's how I envision it taking place. This stack above were my favorite reads in 2022. Of course there were so many that didn't make the stack - and often because I listened on audio and don't own the physical book. And let'...

The Last Romantics

⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a story ..and four star because five don't come that easily to me! Family drama, abandonment, love, loss and forgiveness fill this story that should not be remembered by the title. Which was only the name of a blog written by an anonymous author. This family grew apart and then in threads found a way back. But like any cloth that's been severed, it was never the same strength, feel or look than the original. Or was the original never that strong.

Marriage

What happens when you hear of another couple this year that is divorcing? A couple that from the outside held hands, said sweet things and took adventures together. A couple whose marriage you would have said you admired and wanted to replicate. What does that mean? For the 485th time it means that no one knows what's within the marriage other than the two people in it. That's it. I'm saddened to see so many couples whose love and patience have withered. I'm also sad to know that what's been going on inside has been painful and trying. This breaking of a bond is neither good or bad. It could be both. Right now it's painful and sad. Marriage to me is one of those things that I admire endurance. It's certainly not easy. Take patience, practiced kindness, listening when it's the last thing you possibly want to do and choosing to be together more than you want to run. It is the joining of lives into one household, into...
