At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen
Since last week I started and finished At the Water's Edge by Sara Gruen. It's sort of WWII meets the Loch Ness monster. Sounds crazy, but it works. A Philadelphia high society couple make a faux pas one New Year's Eve, and are kicked out by the husband's parents with whom they live. They make their way to Scotland to become monster hunters. The people of the small village, and the up-close look at the war, affect them in very different ways. I loved this one.
A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler
Remind me why I read Anne Tyler? They always seem like the same quirky characters, but the delivery is familiar and cozy...and I just love the cover on this one. :)
