Stuff, Things, etc.: Share Your Shelf: December

HNY!

(jk, I hate that abbreviation. but really Happy New Year)

I didn't actually read anything in December until the last week so I didn't have a plan for this post, which is why it's late.

However, two books were read over Christmas vacation:

The Lost Summers of Newport by Beatriz Williams, et al.

There's like 3 or 4 authors of this book. It's not as good as her solo work, but it's also a few years old. I put this on hold at the library awhile back, it disappeared (" ") from their catalog on Libby, and then reappeared and was offered to me last week. I read it in 2 days.

I love the multiple timelines and I spend my reading time doing a lot of math but I really can't imagine how hard it must be to write that way, making sure everything is lining up perfectly. I made a lot of predictions. This is a twisty one, and I do recommend it if you like historical fiction and multiple POVs and timelines. I liked the 1957 timeline the best? I think. The 1899 one was kind of harder to envision.

I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney

This was a weird one. I actually found myself skipping the flashback chapters entirely. I read none of it after the first one. You legitimately don't need to read them to figure out what's going on, fyi. I was pretty invested in just figuring out what was happening, to be honest. I don't know that I was disappointed with the end. It was just too weird to be true. I don't know that I'd recommend this, but it wasn't terrible. Maybe a little lazy with that ending.
