June Silent Book Club
Calling all book lovers! If you missed last nights book club here in Edmonds, fear not! We do them every third Wednesday at Leftcraft Tavern from 7:30 to 8:30. Our next one will be June 19th and we'd love to see you there!
We had a great turn out last night. It's really cool to see so many returning faces, and see what everyone is up to and reading this month! It was also really cool to see a handful of new faces, that I can't wait to see again!
So if you're in the North Seattle area on June 19th, stop on by! You can find more information on our book club through Instagram. The handle is, @silentbookclubedmonds!
HAPPY READING!!

New Release Tuesday
Harry Adams loves horror movies, so it’s no coincidence that she accepted a job cleaning house for horror-movie director Javier Castillo. His forbidding gray-stone Chicago mansion, Bright Horses, is filled from top to bottom with terrifying props and costumes as well as glittering awards from his career making movies that thrilled audiences—until family tragedy and scandal forced him to vanish from the industry.
Javier values discretion, and Harry always tries to keep the house immaculate, her head down, and her job safe. Then she hears noises from behind a locked door, noises that sound remarkably like a human voice calling for help. Harry knows not asking questions is a vital part of keeping her job, but she soon discovers that the house may be home to secrets she can’t ignore.

Cover Runway Sunday
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but we all know we do it. Sometimes the cover initially catches our eye, drawing us to give a book a closer look. It's the first thing we see, our first impression. Every Sunday I'm going to post some of my favorite covers of books coming soon!

2040 Most Anticipated pt2
In the last three months, I've read one book, and have several more on hold at the library. The two cookbooks I need to add to my cooking shelf. I feel like both of them I'll fill with tabs and notes. I have two from this list already on pre-order. The others will either go on hold at the library, or I'll use them as an excuse to go book shopping. Because that's what I need more, excuses to buy books!

Now, years later, youngest sister Claire has been discovered dead in that old, desiccated house. Haunted by their sister's suicide and the memories of a past they've struggled to forget, Meg and Esther find themselves at bitter odds.
As they navigate the tensions of their brittle relationship, they draw unsettling lines between Claire's death, their own haunted memories, and a long-ago loss no one in their family has ever been able to face.
With the house once again pulling them ever closer, Meg and Esther must find the connection between their sister's death and the shadow that has chased them across the years…before the darkness claims them, too.

May Spotlight Read
I adore Christina Henry's books. So when I saw she had a new book out, I ran, not walked, to add this to my TBR. I've already had this on pre-order, and it comes out right before our May Silent Book Club. So this will probably be my May Book Club read. I should be in between physical reads because this also comes out the week after I get back from vacation. I'm hoping to spend reading on my parents' patio!

April Wrap Up
Hello May! April was an odd month for me. It was both busy and not busy at the same time. If that makes any sense it all. Or, maybe it feels that way because I've been a bit under the weather. This year the pollen is definitely trying to kill me. It feels like it's been ages since I've been this sick with my allergies. I've gone through so many boxes of tissues. That does mean I've been reading a lot because the only I've wanted to do in the morning, or after work, is curl on the couch.
However, I seem to be coming out of my need to read short books. I finally finished Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. Though, that might have to do with the fact I've finally finished and caught up with, the Judge Dee series, so I'm moving on to full books. Or, maybe because it's almost summer and I'm excited about beach and pool reads! Either way, I'm reading two great books at the moment.
