Where the crawdads sing... Loved it. After you with Girl in Snow

Little Fires Everywhere is a great book, and I feel like the setting is one of the best things about it!
The Roanoke Girls is DARK!

Plainsong by Kent Haruf is one of my absolute favourite books. There's a sort of follow up called Eventide which is set in the same town but has different characters, with a few mentions of some from Plainsong. Both are definitely worth reading.

My favourite small town book is The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter 👌🏼 I’d love a video on books set during extreme weather! Great list and fab video!

Big Lies in a Small Town is one of my favorites of the year. I love it so much!!

Plainsong is a wonderful, wonderful book. And there are two sequels.

A couple here on my TBR but the 12 Dates of Christmas is a very shortly upcoming one. It sounds so lovely and festive, I can't wait to snuggle up and read it.

My novels are set in small towns :) Your copy of my novel, The Pirouette Predator will be sent soon I promise! Sorry I haven't sent it yet. I keep trying to get into Little Fires Everywhere but haven't been able to just yet. I will try again maybe next year. The Roanoke Girls is FANTASTIC. One of my favorites. The Neighbour sounds really good! Looking forward to reading it. Sixteen Horses also sounds VERY good and creepy.

Many of Nobel laureate Alice Munro's stories are set in a small town in Ontario.
