The Aransas Morning Book Blog Tour is winding down with a review today and another one tomorrow. It’s been interesting watching the ebb and flow of information and responses over these nine days, and I’ve enjoyed making new connections and getting a better feel for the depth and breadth of the Lone Star Literary Life.
Today’s review is from Momma On The Rocks, who provides some good insight into the cast of characters in Aransas Morning — strangers whose lives become intertwined in unexpected ways. She captures the essence of the story in these words:
“Aransas Morning is a lovely story about community, and how family isn’t always the one you are born into. In fact, sometimes the least likely people end up being the ones who mean the most to us, in all their messy, infuriating, complicated selves.”
And then she seems to feel what many people feel at the end of the book, but then they turn the last page and make a discovery:
“I was sad to see this book end, as I wanted to know what happened next in the lives of these people I had become so invested in. While this book worked wonderfully as a stand alone, I was tickled to learn that a sequel will be following, so I don’t quite have to let go of all these wonderful characters.”
Yes, a sequel is well under way and in fact was almost finished when real life came blowing in and shook things up a little bit. I’ll talk more about that tomorrow, but for now check out the full review of Aransas Morning at Momma On The Rocks and scroll down at that site to sign up for the giveaway if you haven’t already.
See you tomorrow!
