2. Only a couple on the go at the moment

Listening to Watch Me Disappear by Janelle Brown. Story is about a woman - wife and mother - who disappears while on a solo hike. Husband and daughter left behind. Daughter starts having visions of her mother, husband begins to learn secrets that prompt him to consider that his wife might not be dead. Don't know how it's going to end. If I was reading it, it would be a page turner.

Reading Universal Harvester by John Darnielle. Set in late 1990s in a small town in Nevada, Iowa (pronounced Ne-VAY-da) and centered on the town video store. Some videos are found to have odd little sequences, possibly/probably filmed locally, and inserted into the VHS tapes at the store. Mysteries ensue. So far, captures life in small town/small dreams America, where the big dream is to go to work for a local company in a bigger town. Then there's the issue of what the inserted clips mean. As above, don't know where it's going, which is fine. A bit slow-going, but a good story.
