I heard about this book right after I got back from my trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls. It is set in Niagara Falls. This book was good, but I will say I was expecting something lighter so it didn't match my mood at all. The ending was really fulfilling and I am happy I read it, but it was much darker than I was expecting.
92. A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman
This is my third book by Josh Malerman. I've loved them all. This one was a sweet romance with a little creepy danger.
93. Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss
This book is as fascinating as it is haunting. It isn't clear when it is exactly set, but it felt like the 70s to me. But an archeology professor takes some students on a trip to northern England/southern Scotland(?) to experience iron age Briton. Somehow a bus driver takes his vacation with them. It's clear pretty earlier on that this bus driver is a pretty abusive father and husband. As they spend time out in the "wild" things take an even darker turn. The history woven into the story is fascinating. The interplay between the characters is compelling. I really couldn't look away from this story despite how deeply uncomfortable it made me.
94. The Family Plot by Cherie Priest
My work bookclub might not meet anymore. There's a lot of job insecurity right now, so we talked about having one last book. Nobody really wanted to be the one to pick it, so I said I have a bunch of library books right now on my Kindle. I could share the list and then you could pick from that. And so we did, and the winner was The Family Plot. After all it's October- what's better than a haunted house story! This book really grabbed me and held on tight! YAY!!!
95. Finder by Suzanne Palmer
This book is about an Earth man who finds and retrieves items. It sounds kind of mild-mannered or low-key, but it is not. He goes about locating a stolen ship and finds himself in the middle of all kinds of chaos!
I've read 95 books so far and 68 were by woman, 24 by men, and 3 anthologies with both female and male authors- two of which were mostly female authors. My year of reading lots of women is still going strong!!!
