Historia
Julie is missing, and no one believes she will ever return - except Elise. Elise knows Julie better than anyone, and feels it in her bones that her best friend is out there and that one day Julie will come back. She’s right. Two years to the day that Julie went missing, she reappears with no memory of where she’s been or what happened to her. Along with Molly and Mae, their two close friends from college, the women decide to reunite at a remote inn. But the second Elise sees Julie, she knows something is wrong - she’s emaciated, with sallow skin and odd appetites.

Didn’t see it coming
Revisado: 05-23-22
YMMV with this one, but I absolutely could not put this book down. It’s not without flaws (like the characters being dense way longer than necessary) but Harrison manages to deliver a very moving essay on friendship and loss wrapped up in top notch horror.

Historia
France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever—and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

A beautiful story
Revisado: 10-24-20
This is a gorgeous tale about love and art and loneliness. I loved Addie’s furious, stubborn strength and her never ending passion for life. I felt a bit like Addie listening to it, never wanting the story to end.

Historia
“Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich…” Thus began Jane Austen’s classic, a light and lively tale set in an English village 200 years ago. Yet every era has its share of Emmas: young women trying to find themselves in their own corners of the world. I Could Write a Book is the story of a self-proclaimed modern woman: Emma Katherine Woodhouse, a 1970s co-ed whose life is pleasant, ordered, and predictable, if a bit confining.

A beautifully modern take on Emma
Revisado: 01-23-19
A beautifully modernized take on Emma, this variation oozes sweetness, passion, and southern charm. Emma is a character I feel gets maligned unfairly (even by myself on occasion!) and this version puts the meddling high-mindedness aside in favor of the loving girl Emma really is. Out of all of Austen's Heroines, Emma is never in danger of reduced circumstances or society censure. Her greatest challenge is not overcoming the obstacles set before her through outside forces, but overcoming her own shortcomings--a much tougher challenge. This variation also allows us a peek into the thoughts of George Knightley, whose love for our heroine was seen for the reader for so long before his ultimate realization it had me shaking my head and saying "bless his heart."
I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and highly recommend. The narrator, Emily Rahm, was new to me, but she captured the characters to perfection. I was in stitches every time she took on the Mrs. Bates character, or Emma's perfectly southern housekeeper.

Fantastic story
Revisado: 07-03-18
Just finished ‘The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter’ and I loved it so much, the bit of biography about Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft at the end cemented it as an instant favorite. A blisteringly feminist take on women’s role in literature and a love letter to “found” family and sisterhood. And extra bonus love given to Kate Reading, who narrates another favorite series of mine, the Lady Sherlock Series by Sherry Thomas.
