Bitter House by Kiersten Modglin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A quick read that kept my interest. Some twists on this one but not the unreliable, dislikable characters which I appreciated.

To make living itself an art, that’s the goal.
It’s been really fun to practice and learn again. It’s amazing how much practice does help and yet it’s hard to keep up and often it feels like I’m starting over each time. #art #sketchbook #primrosiajournal #holbeinwatercolors #holbein #landscapeart #learningtosketch #landscapepainting #learningtowatercolor #watercolorfun #watercolors #learning #growing #fun

Still working on drawing and enjoying it. Got a long way to go but practice is fun.

I forgot how much I enjoy working in a journal. The paper is not as perfect as when I work with specialty paper but I just love every page being different and I love the way there’s less pressure because I’m just practicing and leaning and keeping it lightweight for myself.
And I love watercolors so much. I love the joy I have seeing all these colors. #art #primrosiajournal #sennelier #sennelieraquarelle #sketching #sketchbook #grace #landscapes #startingagain #landscapeart #landscapeart #learningtopaint #learningtowatercolor #joy
I enjoy the Coben novels. Especially when I am looking for a twisty mystery. They never disappoint.
really beautiful portrayal of grief and loss. It was very sad.
Ali Hazelwood rarely disappoints. This one is deeper and more complex than her previous stories. Also quite a bit spicier. But it still has her quintessential tone and quirks.
This is the story of a family of four over a period of forty years. The patriarch, and the heart, of the family, Rudy, dies and leaves the mom and two girls rudderless. They spend the rest of their lives trying to find their true north. Weaving in and out of each others’ lives. Always finding their way back to each other. It covers many topics around motherhood, family, sisterhood, marriage, loneliness, friendship (especially female friendship) and more. This book is mostly sad. It’s real in so many ways and also it’s a true portrayal of inherited trauma. The writing is beautiful and the characters are so real they jump off the page. with gratitude to Ecco and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
Laura Dave’s latest book is about a family patriarch who dies. Liam has three ex-wives and three children. A daughter from his first marriage and twin boys from his second one. He loves them all very much and works hard to keep his lives separate and meaningful. Then he dies. And his son Sam is convinced it’s not a fall like it appears to be. He enlists the daughter to help and together they go back and forth between California and NYC to dig up what happened to their dad. This is a little bit of a mystery, a little bit about families, lost love, grief, love and of course secrets. Dave is a great writer and once I started it, I didn’t put this book down until i was done. with gratitude to Simon Element and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review |
