1974
That Spring, rain fell in great sweeping gusts that rattled the rooftops. Water found its way into the smallest cracks and undermined the sturdiest foundations. Chunks of land that had been steady for generations fell like slag heaps on the roads below, taking houses and cars and swimming pools down with them. Trees fell over, crashed into power lines; electricity was lost. Rivers flooded their banks, washed across yards, ruined homes. People who loved each other snapped and fights erupted as the water rose and the rain continued.
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
"Wait", Leni said. Even for Dad, this was big. "Alaska? You want us to move again? We just moved here."
Looking forward to this book! Have you read it?

I have a copy of this book, but I haven't started it yet. Will be interested in what you think. Many seem to really be liking it.
I've been eyeing this one. Hope it lives up to the hype.
I loved this book, which was my January favorite. Enjoy! Here's mine: “NOT THAT I COULD TELL”
Hi there!
I'm new here, although I've probably popped by before in some distant memory. I havent't played this meme since Diane used to do it, years back. :)
Anyway, I digress lol, this is a great tease. I've feature this book on my site as well. So intriguing!
Today I'm featuring, The Third Victim by Phillip Margolin http://bit.ly/2Gq9fVa

One of my reviewer Susan reviewed this book last week. She enjoyed it. See what we are featuring today at Girl Who Reads
Sounds like my neighborhood until you get to the swimming pools.
I've enjoyed a couple of Hannah's books before but it's been so long. I'm looking forward to this one. Hope you enjoy!
I've been debating whether to read this one or not. I loved her last book, but this one hasn't been calling my name. I do hope you enjoy it.
I keep hearing really good things about this one.
