Mary L. Trump – Book of Secrets

“One benefit of summer was that each day we had more light to read by.” — Jeanette Walls

📗 HOME BEFORE DARK by Riley Sager (★★★★½) | Very creepy!! I had to leave a light on to sleep for a few nights. This would be a perfect October horror thriller.

📘 SNOWFLAKES by Ruth Ware (★★★★) | The title caught my attention. I wondered if this quick 26-page short story was somehow connected to her upcoming book ONE BY ONE, but it definitely is not. It’s really not like anything I’ve read of hers before, but heck, I really liked it. Honestly while reading it, the tone gave me a Shirley Jackson vibe. Ruth Ware packed a lot into just a few pages. The subject matter is sad and distressing, yet a couple of lines put a smirky smile on my face.

🎧 TOO MUCH AND NEVER ENOUGH (★★★★★) | Many of my why and how questions were answered from an insider’s and psychologist’s perspective. Listened on audiobook & enjoyed the author’s narration of her memoir.
