I'm half way through, The Monsters of Templeton, by Lauren Groff - which is a really good book because not only is it extremely interesting, (SPOILER ALERT***) but it's about a girl name Willie Upton who arrives on the doorstep of her ancestral home in storybook Templeton, New York (which she swore she'd never come back to) after a disastrous affair with her married archaeology professor. When she arrives, a prehistoric monster surfaces in Lake Glimmerglass, changing everything in the town, Willie's mother, Vi, tells her a secret that she's been hiding for nearly 30 years, and as Willie puts her archaeological skills to work, digging for the truth about her lineage, she discovers that the secrets of her family run deep when dark mysteries come to light and the shocking truth about more than one monster is revealed. That grabbed my attention right away because I like books that almost have an edge to it and make you want to keep turning pages. I find it interesting.
Anyways, I'm really looking forward to getting to the end of the book because there's this thing going on in it where secrets, mysteries, messages, and themes are combining which makes the book even tougher to resist reading without a break! My hopes for this book is that it continues to leave me hanging because like I said before, and I really just don't know why, but I like those kinds of books! I just do. It sort of hypnotizes me in a way and makes me feel like I've literally stepped into the page and entered the world of the book! That's exactly how The Monsters of Templeton is designed, and I guess that's why I find an interest in it...
