5/5 Stars for These Silent Woods. Nothing brings a book blogger out of an almost year in hiding like a solid book. I haven't stopped reading, of course. But, I haven't been reviewing books like before. But then These Silent Woods happened. I picked it up after reading the back of it @bncary. I gobbled it up in 3 days, which is really fast right now for me, considering all the shuffling of the kids, work things, and running I've been doing.
Friends, I am not kidding when I tell you this one is going to sit next to Where the Crawdads Sing. I'm also not kidding when I tell you I may have liked it even MORE. It's written so lyrically well, the words just painted the setting and the characters with such detail that I was there, off the grid and on the edge of the pages with wide eyes and anticipation.
It's been a long time since I've read a book this good. I don't want to give too much of it away. It is suspenseful but not gory. It is heartwarming but not a sobfest. It is a hell of a book for the crispy fall we are having. I wish I could tell you I'd let you borrow it. But, I want to know I have it.
So, here's the book that got me back to writing book reviews. Because you NEED to know about this one.
@kimicgrant please keep writing more. And, thank you for the beautiful gift of These Silent Woods and the characters I grew to love. I am sure I will go back to them over the years. And, I'll introduce others. #thesesilentwoods #bookstagram #bookreviews #5stars #mustread #pageturner #oakcitybook #booknerd #sendmebooks @stmartinspress @macmillanusa #readtolive #readforescape #readtogrow
