Album Favorite

"I’m sometimes a little ashamed at how little attention I pay to lyrics, especially as I am a lyricist myself. Consequently, albums seem to mean entirely different things to me to their intention. Music transports me; it allows me to travel through time. When I listen to Penguin Eggs, I am back to when I was going through my divorce, huddled in a blanket, taking too many of the wrong pills and listening to this over and over. Which isn't to say this record makes me sad either. It reminds of the comfort that music can bring in the worst possible moments. This album of sea shanties was a lifeboat for me; it still is."

This was a cover buy for me for sure. But I didn't NOT like it.

Makani is stuck living with her grandma in nowhere Nebraska, being shipped off by her parents who are struggling through a divorce in Hawaii, when their small Nebraska town suddenly becomes home to a serial killer.

Love the idea, didn't love the pacing. The first half was slow for me. Halfway through we are told who the killer is. Which initially I hated, but the second half definitely picked up speed, and the ending, while a little unbelievable, did redeem the book overall for me.


If nothing else, this was a good way to end spooky season!
