Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Today's books I suggest are: The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston and The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson.
THE SOMEDAY GARDEN
by
Ashley Poston
When Sophie drear plans her escape to coastal Maine for the summer –for a temporary job revitalizing the storied grounds at Lilymoor House– she doesn't expect to fall in love.
But she does: with the beguiling land, the fragrant flowers, and the towering hedge maze. With the quirky staff and the enigmatic woman who owns the place.
And then, the door appears. Never in the same place twice, it leads her to a secret, and unfinished garden with a frustrated thundercloud of a man trapped inside.
The mysterious garden is not the only sign that the future of Lilymoor is unstable: the foliage resists Sophie's careful nurturing, vines threaten to strangle the hedges, and the manor's owner has wild ideas about who will take over when she retires – including her inconveniently attractive nephew who is also there just for the summer.
Despite herself, Sophie has come to care for the residents of Lilymoor just as much as she cares for its grounds. Witht he help of one man on the only person who can figure out exactly what Lilymoor needs to bloom once more.

THE SHAMPOO EFFECT
by
Jenny Jackson
When Caroline Lash arrives in Greenhead, Massachusetts, she falls head-over-heels for Van Whittaker, a fleece-wearing, litter-collecting, Kayak enthusiast with long, floppy hair and the personality of a Border Collie. Born and raised in this picturesque coastal village. Van runs with the same crowd he did as a His ex-girlfriend Bailey, a beautiful girl who attracts men like moths to a flame: Augusta, old money, horsey, and snobbish: and Fran surrounded by brothers and sons, too fed up with boys to ever consider marrying one.
Together, the group runs wild through the marshes, beaches, and bars of Greenhead, drinking on houseboats, spending long afternoons sunbathing with their children, and playing games the way they always have. But when Bailey discovers she is pregnant with Van's baby, the delicate balance of the group's friendship is thrown off. Soon Caroline is cast out of the circle and what she does next – in a potent mix of fury and heartbreak – exposes long-held secrets and works the entire town of Greenhead into a lather.
