Accinni. Interesting plot so far about an abused woman who came from a simple background that comes across what she thinks is an odd woodland creature. Life turns around and she's surviving on her own, but I get that feeling bad things are going to start happening. Who knows, I could be wrong.Lucero De La Tierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813673309203100156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-3572900456530569382014-05-22T20:00:47.787-07:002014-05-22T20:00:47.787-07:00I remember reading The Exorcist when I was about 1...I remember reading The Exorcist when I was about 13. That damn book scared the heck out of me far worse than the movie ever did. I thought the Devil was going to come popping out of the book at night to come and get me lol.

But then really grabbed me about a third of the way in and I didn't want to put it down until the end. (And then the end!! The end!!!

I would classify this as a fun read. There are dirty secrets being uncovered in this small town and it's fun to discover them along with the characters. Written from the perspectives of three generations of women in the same family. Joshilyn Jackson writes characters with strong voices and I love that. <br /><br />I just started The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and would like to stop working and go right back to it.

I like it, and it makes we want to move back west and paint things even thought I have no artistic ability. But, I am getting bogged down in the slow pace and the constant descriptions of the nature. I like these visual pictures, but just not that often. I need more action.

It put me into a rut. I just recently started reading Chasing The Sun - here is the synopsis from Amazon:<br /><br />Andres suspects his wife has left him—again. Then he learns that the unthinkable has happened: she’s been kidnapped. Too much time and too many secrets have come between Andres and Marabela, but now that she’s gone, he’ll do anything to get her back. Or will he?<br /><br />As Marabela slips farther away, Andres must decide whether they still have something worth fighting for, and exactly what he’ll give up to bring her home. And unfortunately, the decision isn’t entirely up to him, or up to the private mediator who moves into the family home to negotiate with the terrorists holding Marabela. Andres struggles to maintain the illusion of control while simultaneously scrambling to collect his wife’s ransom, tending to the needs of his two young children, and reconnecting with an old friend who may hold the key to his past and his wife’s future.<br /><br />Set in Lima, Peru, in a time of civil and political unrest, this evocative page-turner is a perfect marriage of domestic drama and suspense.<br /><br />One crazed mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873085253600643761noreply@blogger.com
