The Brilliant Life Of Eudora Honeysett
by Annie Lyons

I liked this book, I did not love it. The plot was a little too predictable. The last 100 pages were better. The character development was good.
 
 

The Sunlit Night
by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight

The plot of this book was hard to follow at times because it jumped around a lot and I never felt fully invested in any of the characters. I did enjoy the description of Norway and the midnight sun of the summer months.
 
 

The River
by Peter Heller

Good friends, Jack and Wynn, make a canoe trip on a river in Northern Canada. They must contend with a wildfire. There is an arguing couple they hear one night and decide it's best to warn them of the impending danger. What follows? Well, all I will say is that what is touted to be a thriller for me was far from it. I thought the story was good but it did not grab me to the point where I couldn't put it down. At many points I was quite bored.
 
 

Little Monsters
by Adrienne Brodeur

This book had so many little monsters of the mind. Brother and sister making it through life without a mother and a negligent, bi-polar dad that gave them very little of his time. There were a lot of predictable plot lines yet I didn't mind. I accepted the characters as they were, including the minor characters such as daughters/nieces, old friend, and an unexpected half daughter. It may have all gone far afield but the story held my interest and as a distraction it was ok to read.
