I always struggle with blogging in December. There just seems to be so much that needs to be done between end of year work and then getting ready for the holidays. So I didn't add to much to my TBR file, but I read a TON and now I'm devoting today to catching up on all the blogging. So I'm on the couch, tucked into a blanket, with my laptop fired up.
2018 will be a year of change. One of my best friends moved to Utah, my daughter and son in law are relocating to Texas, and I'm trying hard to deny both of these facts. But February will feel very different to me. And I think I'll be flying a lot more next year.
On a positive note, I was chosen to be a Karen White ambassador - which I probably got a little too excited about since I got the email at work during a long meeting. Oops. I'll get more information about what exactly that means in the new year but as a devoted fan, I'll do whatever I can! Have you read The Night the Lights Went Out? It was one of my favorites of 2017.
Fittingly, my only add these past few weeks was.....
New York Times bestselling author Karen White crafts evocative relationships in this new contemporary women's fiction novel about best friends who share a devastating secret, set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
It's been nine years since Larkin fled Georgetown, South Carolina, vowing never to go back. But when she finds out that her mother has disappeared, she knows she has no choice but to return to the place that she both loves and dreads--and to the family and friends who never stopped wishing for her to come home. Ivy, Larkin's mother, is discovered in the burned out wreckage of her family's ancestral rice plantation, badly injured and unconscious. No one knows why Ivy was there, but as Larkin digs for answers, she uncovers secrets kept for nearly 50 years. Secrets that lead back to the past, to the friendship between three girls on the brink of womanhood who swore that they would be friends forever, but who found that vow tested in heartbreaking ways.
