The guy that wrote The Art of Racing in the Rain is from Seattle and I think almost all his books take place there. I’m currently reading a sudden light which is about a timber family living outside Seattle.

OP here - I loved Station Eleven. Will look at some of her other books.


That's great. I'm not sure all the other ones quite live up to that, but I am going to start Sea of Tranquility soon.


I loved Sea of Tranquility! More than Station Eleven, actually.

When I'm on vacation somewhere I like to read fiction or historical fiction about the place I'm visiting. Any recommendations for Seattle/Pacific NW? Don't say Twilight.

Thanks!
