Sea Glass: A Novel
4 journalers for this copy...
I enjoyed this book but not as much as Light on Snow. The time period of the 1920's and the bit about trying to start a union in the mills was interesting, I just wish that some of the characters had been developed a bit more.

Released at the Convention in Toronto. This is an old library book that had been discarded. Its a good read.
Brought this home from the convention!
Wow, I can't believe how long this book has been sitting on my shelf! I enjoyed, as I do all of Shreve's books. And the house...that convent...her obsession with it is making me obsessed with it! I hope she keeps writing books set there, its creepy but really interesting!
Available to a good home!

RELEASE NOTES:
Bringing this to release at the meet-up today!
'Not sure how this got from Dundas and Trafalger to the 2nd Cup at Navy Street and Lakeshore...anyway....I knew there was an OBCZ at that Navy location (went to a meetup there a couple of years ago) and ended up there yesterday with 5 friends. One of them mentioned they had picked up two books from the OBCZ shelf, but did not JE them. He took them to CUBA on a holiday. So, tsk, tsk, I said, explaining that it's only fair to make a JE (even anonymously and without joining up) and I said if he did it again, the Bookcrossing Angel of Vengeance would get him.
I like Anita Shreve - have read "The Pilot's Wife" and "The Last Time They Met".
I think I'll save this one for summer reading, as I'm in the middle of two books right now.
Wouldn't it be cool to get a JE from Cuba?
Poor sad book was unclaimed at the end of the BookCrossing social today so I volunteered to find it a new home...

Acton, Ontario Canada on Monday, September 26, 2022
I am sneaking in here with a 2nd copy of "Sea Glass". I really like Anita Shreve's books (almost as much as the other Anita - the late, great Anita Brookner). Anyway, this 2nd copy was left in our Little Free Library (#95058) near Acton, Ontario, and now it's been registered.
